Itôs becoming too much of a habit For it to be a coincidence, These late goals, we pull like a rabbit Out of a hat if things get tense, And this one was most satisfying The rival, the time, and the place Were perfect, there is no denying It brought a big smile to my face, All along I felt we were fated To do well when the Royals came, And to be honest we created A load of chances in the game, And if not for their Aussie keeper Who just pulled off save after save, They definitely would have sunk deeper And sooner ÃÂnto their own grave, But it does seem a lot like payback For what occurred in the first match, And this red was due to no play-act As we saw when down on their patch, And happily Fox soon recovered To go on and still play a part, But Barnett must wait to discover Just how long before he can start, We can only hope itôs not too long Before he is back in the frame, In that department weôre not that strong Now we have loaned out Jens the Dane, Although I would guess we could recall Him if PL wanted to do, And likewise, if the same should befall Any other part of the crew, But great to see Surman in action He showed with his shot off the bar, That if he suffers no reaction With him fit, we could just go far.

Great stuff again, RBF, nice to get our revenge with a trademark injury-time winner! I'll just have to train my heart to expect it!
Dave - I hope the soothing effect of getting the winner so often, and so late, can help you more easily get over the palpitations that have gone before. Funnily enough, Iôm sort of getting used to it now, and would be more surprised if it didnôt happen.
