Actually beginning to see what you mean here. Tries hard but...................Anyway, probably not the night for it. GTFI.

Superb there from the son in law

A decent comfortable victory has been a LOOOOONG time coming.

You don't shoot you don't score punk.

Niiiiiiiice. Get in.

If you ever post something like that again I'm going to rearrange the furniture in my living room dressed as Madame Cholet.

Haha fuck OFF. I luv Shane Long put another dime in the jukebox BABY!

C’mon then

Top half time analysis and comment

Clean forgot how shit it is with no fans.

Yes, Chez, I think you are being too harsh. Plenty on show there from Perraud to suggest he can be a very handy left back for us, which - let’s face it - is what we bought him for. I hear your “well Ralph see’s him in training everyday and doesn’t deem him worth a place in front of an out of position KWP” and before today I haven’t really had cause to disagree but he looked decent imho and likely to handle the prem. I think maybe we have a ‘Salisu lite’ situation going on, easing him in but from a stronger starting point.

Thought Perraud did really well.

Now that was fucking well played. Best performance of the season for me. May well have won without the sending off.

He scored the 2nd of our goals to put us 2 nil up in each of those games (Wolves, Chelsea, Man U) and we went on to lose each game 2-3. A truly incredible stat and so unlikely it is possibly my favourite ever stat despite it it costing us. Get in!!!!

Go on then, get the fuck in. Well done lads.

Jesus Christ we are a tiresome watch. I want to see a game changing change from OUR fucking manager.

Aaaaand it’s the second half.

Always avoid commenting on team selections before a match but.........................Elyounoussi and Walcott. FFS.

Had forgotten how defensively solid we were back then…..

You ever seen someone in a shop (generally local) in their DRESSING GOWN? I have and it stunned me.

Amazing start. Just got a stream up and LITERALLY the first thing I see is Zaha celebrating.

If ever there was a thread that needed splitting and hoying over to The Lounge........

The whole full back fiasco is the main reason I've now completely lost faith in Ralph and to a large extent the whole fcking club. In what world does it make sense to spend big money on a left back, then buy a new right back when we already have a good right back (one of the achingly few positions we could say we had a good player in), and then play the original right back out of position, leaving the new expensive left back out the team? It makes ZERO sense. I could understand it if there was a plan to accommodate all 3, but there clearly was and is no such plan. I could even have got on board with selling KWP and replacing with TL, and spending the KWP money on one of the various other areas we are desperately short of quality in - another decent midfielder, a number 10 that isn't allergic to goals - but again, no. Even after all that at least - with the knowledge of this hamfisted clusterfuck of an arrangement clearly not working - if he tried the seemingly obvious KWP in his natural position, Perraud in his, and TL (who clearly looks better going forward than defending) in front of KWP you could cut him some slack even if it didn't work. But again, no. Just a baffling shit show.

Not even remotely interested in the sport but thought I'd give it a go due to all the publicity about how exciting it was going to be. Fell asleep.
