Love that Bruno scored!

Which knobhead wanted Wilson subbed ?

Crowd ?

‘Kin hell. Getting nervous now.

ASM for Wilson, last twenty hopefully.

Get in… fuck not in.

It’s the right sub, in the context. Maxi if they equalise.

Joe W— Howay Eliot!

Tugged him (fnaar…) right in front of Lino.

Let’s hope this trio are slow to get involved.

Wilson must have a goal in him here. Getting into great positions.

Oof!!

I’ll go listen. Lads looked happy in training. Loving this collective feeling of ‘oneness’. Plus the sense that we could beat anyone on our day.

Enjoy it, mate. These are the meaningful competitive games we’ve been craving. Should be a cracker.

Feels like the curse of nicking the Championship trophy off them on the last day of the season (… partly thanks to Jack Grealish.).

These are the games to be excited about. A great match-up against a very good side. Absolutely expecting a performance like we’ve shown against other top teams (Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal) at home; hoping for a result like achieved against the Manchesters.

Your second sentence pretty much contradicts your first.

Nah.

Gameweek 36 Leeds 1-2 Newcastle Villa 2-2 Spurs Chelsea 1-1 Forest Palace 2-0 Bournemouth Man United 2-0 Wolves Southampton 2-1 Fulham Brentford 2-1 West Ham Everton 1-2 Man City Arsenal 3-2 Brighton Leicester 1-2 Liverpool Newcastle 2-2 Brighton

I think it is just the context of their recent dropping of points and what happened last year. Two draws away to Liverpool and West Ham; spanked by Man City. Not in it here last season; a defeat which cost them much more than yesterday will cost us. Intimating away atmosphere against an in-form (rightly) third placed team, and they turned-up and played very well. Fair play to them and let’s see how it goes next year.

Stats don’t make it look like a bad game for us. We were beaten by the better side, overall this season, but made a decent fist of it. Let’s chase these down next season.

Ah well, guess we won’t have to worry so much about Madrid coming knocking this summer. As phenomenal as he has been, is there a game against the very top teams where he has dominated/played a blinder?

Pope will be here at least another couple of seasons. There are 4-5 upgrades, if they can be found, and probably some age-related replacements before we look at ‘keepers.

Well wish I hadn’t read through some of the post-match rantings. It was always going to be the toughest match remaining and doesn’t really make any difference that we lost (particularly thanks to West Ham!). Think we also might struggle against Brighton (based on reverse fixture). It was a great game and wonderful advert for the Premier League. Let’s crack on—another 7-9 points for us to cap a fabulous season.

Shit or bust. Howay lads!!
