Things I know

We drew, but were the best side.

Moss is a homer.

Beat the Swans and we've just about scraped to safety, unless we completely meltdown against Citeh and I don't think even we are that bad.

Moss is a homer

Refereeing has been consistently **** this season.


No wonder there aren't any English refs officiating in the World Cup

We've been so much steadier with Maya on the pitch. He leads and rallies the defence. My first thought after he was off was not "idiot" but "we're going to miss him against Swansea".

Vin

Count the players who you think will be distraught if we go down. I'm thinking three. I'm thinking that the one who will feel it most will be Yosh. He's not the most technically gifted member of the squad but we dont need that any more. We need blood guts and heart first and foremost.

He will be missed against Swansea.
 
Glad I was out....that late goal would have been unbearable. Had little luck this season....though results today went for us. We are in some form, so we have a decent chance of beating them.

20 seconds before they scored, I thought of you hiding behind the sofa.......and hoped you found something less stressful to do. It was a traumatic end, for sure.
 
That was the first time in a long time (years) I felt physically sick after conceding a late goal. Not even conceding late on in the League Cup Final made me feel like that. Tuesday's going to be fun! Think I might cut the power to my house for the evening...

Was eating a lovely meal in a restaurant that has had a revamp. Took my mind right off it and I was just pleased we got a draw....until I saw the timing of that Everton goal!!
 
I'm pretty sure that most players will be mortified if we go down...they play next to these team mates all season and they care.
I believe we have enough who care to get us over the line. MH has got into these guys and they are responding. We now have a one match season to complete and I'm not sure Man City are going to have it all their own way here either.

I can't remember feeling so angry and gutted after a match for a very long time, as previously said the significance of that goal could be absolutely immense.
I'm not happy.

I shouted in rage and went to punch a door, then glimpsed my daughter staring at me with her mouth open in shock. Felt suitably embarrassed and now I'm on best behaviour. We march on, with less drama hopefully.
 
Just caught up with both game and thread. We were great, Moss is a moron, not for the extra extra time but for the free kick. We were quite literally robbed of 2 points there. Fuming.
 
Yeah, I would think that Swansea will be very careful. Draw and they're still in rather good shape, given their final match versus the remaining fixtures for ourselves and Huddersfield (assuming they don't get anything against City tomorrow). Lose and they need to rely on some luck. They have every incentive to keep it tight and try to nick one.

And would have a Nathan Dyer goal or Andre Ayew breaking his (since re-signing) league goal duck all over it.
 
On a side note, I thought Bednarek was excellent yet again. Not loads to do but did it well and won everything against Tosun. Going to be a good player if he continues to develop the way he has been.

He has been our least error-prone CB to my eyes, which is both a credit to him and something of an indictment of the other three, heh.
