Let's enjoy a fantastic win, their first loss at home this season and ignore the curmudgeons.

On a completely unrelated point, when is Glory coming back?

When we get promoted

What’s pleasing for me, we were top and looking like certs. Suddenly we’re knocked off top and scraping a point here and there and I’m fearing is this another self destruct season.

That was a great display against a team with the best home form who took an early lead and taking us back to the top.

We might not stay top but at least we know we can do it, the teams around us are just as likely to slip up, the difference for us is we are putting in 90 minutes of quality football on a regular basis.

I'd add, we are also good to watch (if nerve wracking). I tried to watch the Boro game the other day, total crap

When you and you and ELM decide to bring him back

Wonder what Bielsa was saying to the Wigan manager at the end. The guy looked like he thought Bielsa would never finish.

I put the boro game on and 5 mins later turned it off, absolute bore.

ELM - do you think so?

In fairness to Boro, I've had trouble sleeping of late but they managed to sort that for me

I posted earlier, that's exactly how long I lasted too

Rumour has it. Always seemed a tad upbeat to be him for me

Hmmm, wallies, didn't we used to get visits from others from that planet????

Very happy with the 3 points but I'd like to see us demolish someone pretty soon. Wigan are ****e (yes their home record is good but they had players missing) and we didn't exactly carve 'em open. Our passing out of defence was better than any passing round their penalty area.

I can tell you for certain it isn't

Apparently he was praising Cook for Wigan's resolute display despite having 4 of their top players missing

Not sure if Cook understood him though

You know, same was true of the Revie team, we passed opposition off the park but (with a few purple patches as exceptions) often only won by the odd goal

That would be like him. Wonder if Cook undertands Spanglish though.

Only saw it on Sky but he was as always a complete mixture. He is very frustrating in attack because, to be frank, he does not have the natural skills of some players and he compensates with quick thinking and hard work. A few times he maybe did let us down in attack but he was very much involved linking with Douglas and the midfield players, always available for a pass to relieve pressure, know when to go down to an innocuous challenge, runs back to support the defence. There was one moment when Sky pointed out how 8 players got back to snuff out one lone attacker who, briefly, had looked to be getting away into a scoring position: Alioski was one of the 8.

But the real answer is - IBWT and he keeps picking him.
