He could not have been any more fucking annoying could he?

He was a cunt.

He’s always like that though. Any game where someone has a spell of possession, even if they don’t do anything, he says they are dominant. He usually sticks by the overall favourite, and sings their praises throughout, even if the other team is winning, he just says it’s a matter of time before they overcome it.

In a Sunderland vs Hull match recently which ended 4-4, he would say whoever had just scored that they were absolutely dominant, despite goals literally coming one after the other and the game being very open.

He has a very noticeable inability to read a game, but it’s ok because usually he’s only assigned to Championship games, and everyone is used to the coverage being full of people who don’t watch the games.

I feel I go on about Gordon every game now, but he’s becoming one of my favourite players quite quickly. So good.

 

Got great intangibles for our style of play.

 

Changed the game at the weekend with his quality.

 

Today he changed it with his intensity. Got the crowd and his team mates going, and we scored off the back of that lift.

Probably some generous ratings there for the 1st half lads, but meh.

Joelinton’s been robbed of a mark and a half here

He can only call it middway through the numbers being called out. Sadly you can't buy tickets at that point, darn it.

 

Pshh!

 

I guess I'll just stay poor and die in the gutter then.

We are about to draw Man United/ Liverpool or Arsenal.

Manure at home would be alright. No to the other two.

Gordon is turning into some player like, almost single handedly turned our performance round, the mood changed when he sprinted the width of the field to make sure he stopped City in their tracks, then continued to run the entire game. Livramento had a beast of a game, had Grealish in his back pocket, struggled a little against the fresh legs of Doku, but still didn't let much get past him.

 

What a 2nd half masterstroke that was, not only did we halt City in their tracks but we deserved it, it wasn't a smash and grab, we were good for it. Who'd have thought a backline of Dummett and Lascelles would be a brick wall?? Absolutely buzzing at that.

The goal was class btw. The directness and power was to die for. That first touch from Murphy was top notch. Joelinton is a fucking tank when he sets off with the ball. 

[Kid Icarus]

That result hasn't really sunk in yet like. Basically at 95 minutes and 45 seconds I was like fucking hell we might win this

Yeah 7 is well harsh. The guy bossed city's midfield and got an assist on his return.

Schar came on on the 94th minute and I was thinking “ah good, Fab takes a mean penalty”

[Guest reefatoon]

What a result man! Class second half, we were closing everything down and at them non stop.

 

Anyone else missing the usual posters who blast straight on at 90 mins to let us know how bad Eddie and the players were? Can’t seem to see any of them again tonight. Fucking magic lads

Absolutely buzzing after that. Colossal second half performance, back to the aggression we all know and love. Isak is ice cold. Tino is unbelievable and Dummett has done amazingly well. What a fucking night. Momentum builds, and I firmly believe we can beat any of our CL opponents here at home. Nothing like it when the crowd and players feed off each other like that

All I was thinking is Liverpool away and what a waste of time this will be  Can’t buy this sort of optimism.
