Tooj Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Absolutely ecstatic at the moment. An excellent result with an excellent performance to match. The first half we were outstanding, we were better than Everton in all departments. Yes, we did ride our luck in the second half, Everton did miss a few chances and were on top (as you would expect), but the work ethic and determination shown from the players today was outstanding. Several times in the past we have crumbled in those situations. I'm not one for knee-jerking as well, but Ben Arfa is so much more gifted than the rest of our squad, I really do hope he's consistent over the course of the season as he could be the difference between us being relegated and surviving. Tiote was also outstanding today, a fantastic debut where he showed off his combativeness, drive and a surprising array of passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Well at times today we had to hang on but I had no hope of a result the two new lads were outstanding and credit to the club for making those signings. Tiote & HBA well done lads fkn wonderful stuff. Happy Krul is going to get a chance but would never have wished an injury on Harps, happy Perch will miss a game the lad is a liability at times, good job he is young and will learn.

themanupstairs Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 What a result!!! GET THE FUCK IN!!!! That was an absolutely MASTERFUL performance from our midfield! Barton, Tiote and HBA were top top class. Skipper played surprisingly well in the first 70 minutes or so. Outstanding result!! Well done CH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Would of gone mental if the bog brush had scored, where the fuck did the ref get 4 minutes from? There were a few injuries. I figured 3 or 4 would be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Need to get Ben Arfa signed on permanently NOW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 That was excruciating, but brilliant. Can't credit Hughton and the lads enough - I thought we'd get dicked by this lot. Over the moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Get in, just got in from work and on the way home I knew we were winning but didn't want to check the score in anyway. I'm going to watch MOTD with a smile on my face today. Never did I think we could win this game, a point at best I thought. An excellent result for us.

Jill Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Apart from 10-15 minutes after the break when they'd clearly had a rocket and the customary heart-in-mouth moments towards the end I thought we were by far the better team. Fucking great. Ben Arfa was amazing, but Tiote gets MOTM for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 And for once we actually won inspite of the ref trying to hand the match on a plate to the other team. Makes it even sweeter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 That was great. Absolutly amazing. Ben Arfa was perfect, Tiote was imense and Krul came on and looked as if he'd been between the posts for years. Great performance even if the ref was shit and btw who was that co commentator? He was terribly bias. Fuck him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Crap game with brief periods of good play from both sides. We were slightly less bad on the day and got a little lucky. Ref was absolute garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
