    No idea how that happened.

    A real game of 2 halves.

    Can’t believe we walked away with 3 points there.
    What a difference between the two halves.

    We are no longer below Man Utd either.

    Wow!!. How did we win that. All seemed to be lost at the second-half, Second half was entirely different and substitutions made the real difference. Summerville was excellent. I can breathe a bit know.

    I have a nasty feeling Coote will decide this game in favour of Manchester United...

    Keep saying things like that...Well done.....

    I must admit, I feel onfield refs tend to go with VAR referrals too often rather than sticking with their original decisions; soooooo glad the ref continued the trend today though, especially as, imo, it was very soft and I'm a bit surprised he was called to the screen at all.

    Summerville a complete numpty for removing his shirt and getting booked though, I just cannot see why they do it.

    I hope the club fines them for that kind of behaviour.
    Sometimes, just sometimes, like celebrating a 1st goal for his team, I'll look the other way....Come on....

    What a game AWB was well up for it against his old club, him and Bowen working well. Michael Oliver best ref in the world

    In all honesty we should have been dead and buried at half time but that is on them - in the second half - the substitutions gave us belief and we came out with purpose, took the game to them and deserved our lead.

    Typical poor defending allowed them to draw level but in fairness we would have settled for the point but then, in keeping with this very strange game, we were awarded a really soft penalty and held on desperately for the three points - really unbelievable.

    Hopefully we also learned a few things from this game, for one Paqueta is not the talisman we may have thought he is - we can play without him - Soucek may not be elegant but is worth his place and Todibo is worth his weight in gold.

    Oh and Summerville…………..oh yes

    Anyone else happy if we take a point here

    Not me 😂🤣😂.

    No way that was a penalty .But will take it all day long and against Man U even better
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Smash and grab after the 1st half, for sure...
    Never a penalty IMO....especially against Man U!!! Are they no longer considered a top team.....
    Great 3 points, great improved 2nd half, but still somewhat lucky to get away with it, but hey, I'll take it......COYI

    Ings went for the ball pulled out when deLigt came through and slammed into his knee. Also Kilman had his shirt tugged in proximity. Total pen for me! Also we’ve had so many things go against us vs Man Ute in the past. So todays victory in a small way makes up for that. Shame they’re in 14th and he’s getting sacked in the morning

    I don't feel bad about the decision at all, as, as Baz says, we're so often on the wrong end of dodgy decisions against Man utd (ball 2 yards out of play anyone?), but just surprised such a marginal decision has gone our way. If it had been for Man Utd I wouldn't have been surprised at all, but I've just had to check the calendar to make sure it's not my birthday.

    Fair play to Fabianski, what a servant to the club he's been.....

    But he shouldn't be playing. He made one decent save, but rode his luck so many times. 3 off the top of my head are when he came charging out of the box and didn't get the ball, when he came for the corner but didn't get there and Alvarez headed onto the bar, and when he came for a cross that a Man Utd player beat him to and it just bounced off him and fortunately went safe. It's definitely a season too far imo. I'm not saying that Areola has played well, just that we need a better alternative.

    West Ham beat Man Utd, Spurs lose, roast lamb in the oven (which will obviously be served with, amongst other things, Yorkshire puddings 😂🤣😂), and I've just opened a very nice Malbec. Happy days 😊😊😊

    As much as I hate Bruno Fernandes, we could really use someone with his vision and passing.

    Pogba might be available soon 👀

    I did fear we were having another one of those photos like the one with Isak! Luckily Dalot is useless.

    Lopetigui’s starting line up was strange, especially with Soler off the left. But the half time changes were brave and worked. (Maybe harsh on Mavropanos). I think we were overall better than them, though that penalty was lucky!

    On to the next one!

    I hear what you say, but as much as I'd like to say I think Areola is our future...not 100% convinced....as J Lo seems to agree.....

    I'm not convinced either, but certainly neither is Fabianski. As I said, we need a better alternative.

    Guess that J Lo sees lots more than we do..I like Areola, lots.....but just perhaps an " old head " was what was needed today, whether by hook or crook.....

    Problem with Areola is his poor distribution.....That's the main issue with him IMO

    Yes a nice roasting beef joint and an acceptable rioja is happening right now at chez Giant.
