How long before we're all back in the Anthony Gordon thread arguing over FFP semantics?

Get in. Should've been more but can't complain too much about going into second leg up, at home (and no away goals to worry about)

[Wolfcastle]

Average performance at best. Still plenty of chances, the better team, clean-sheet and win.

Need some additions. The team is sound. The parts need a spark.

Imagine letting this slip at home. That would be like having all the pain of Alan Pardew's tenure as NUFC manager concentrated into a single football match.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Good result but should've killed it by about 60 minutes. Thought Howe should've made a change straight after the Joelinton miss, tbh, as you just know that's a confidence drainer for us and a booster for them.

 

At least one of Isak or ASM has to make the starting XI next week. Ideally, both.

If Eddie goes with that first half line up again, I'll lose my shit.

We've got one foot in the final, find some happiness in that man

 

It's a good result. just wish we'd have killed off the game today. It was right there to be had. Could have easily won this 3 nil.

 

Team is in very good shape to go through now though, no doubt.

Great scenes

Lovely old job. Terrible finishing though - really poor. Attack looks so stale at the moment, only Nick Pope doing Nick Pope things kept us in that 2nd half. Isak and Maxi coming on changed the game - they have to start the next few games for me - let Willock and Wilson come on against tired legs as both aren't in great form. 

[gbandit]

Can’t remember the last time I felt this angry after a win, really strange feeling. Think I let out a lot of life stress in the course of that match 

[wormy]

Ugh think we were about to get another adult snatching a shirt front a child until Bruno told them off.

[TheBrownBottle]

Now we’ve just got to hope our utterly banal and useless local press don’t ramp up the pressure by constantly asking Howe and the team if they know how long it’s been since we won out.  They fucking know, you bellends - they don’t need reminding every single press conference. 

[HawK]

Joelinton looks like a roided WWE cruiserweight, he's a brick shithouse

[Hudson]

Some beautiful football played by us tonight. 

 

Southampton are a dirty dirty team.

would love to see a replay of Bruno running up to him and laughing in his face just before this as well 

[IzzyIsak]

Get in..we should do this.

Another win, another clean sheet. Wasteful in front of goal at times, yes, indebted to Pope as well. Should have scored more, but we're close now. Got to enjoy these times, this is a great era we're entering

[Jinky]

1-0 to the Arsenal Newcarssell

 

[Armchair Pundit]

Robbed of Big Joe's mis-allowed supposed handball goal, but a win's a win. Should have been more really, I really hope we get a couple of decent players in so we can stop playing Longstaff and Willock as first choice.

[Shearergol]

Pope, schar, Botman, Bruno, Isak and ASM class. The others pretty average but could still have won 5-0
