    Just as I was getting pissed off at our luck with injuries, fate decided to cut us some ****ing slack for once and make one of the brentford lot lose their heads and get sent off.

    Seriously though Brentford looked absolutely awful.

    I was a bit disappointed we didn't score more goals, but it's fair enough to score 2 and then just control possession.

    We dominated Brentford.

    **** off Lawro with your prediction based on garbage reasoning.

    I'm confident we're safe because we keep winning without our best players!!!! Brighton next and they are on **** form!!!!!

    Ratings -

    Dubs - 6.5 - Annoying time wasting, but stayed alert despite not being very active. Didn't have much to do.

    Krafth - 7 - Probably his best game. Quite solid.

    Schar - 8 - Solid and good assist.

    Burn - 8 - He had some sloppy moments first half, but altogether solid

    Target - 8 - Solid and a threat going forward.

    Willock - 7.5 - Was rather anonymous at times, but a class goal.

    Shelvey - 7 - Good

    Joelinton - 8 - Beast. Great goal and work rate.

    Fraser - 8.5 - MOTM - WE FINALLY HAVE A TWO FOOTED WINGER!! - Worked his tits off all game and put in so many balls into the box and set up chance after chance. Should have had more than one assist. Was the biggest pain in the arse to Brentford. Our best player today definitely. One think I love about him?

    Wood - 3 - A donkey.

    Murphy - 6 - Decent, but not much more to say. A few decent runs in behind.

    Bruno - n/a - Not enough going on in the game to properly rate him. Some decent defending at times, some reasonable composure. I thought it was a risk playing him in that CM role with so little time in the PL.

    Almiron - n/a

    Eddie howe - Beast

    Mate it was Schar who assisted the second. Yes, Schar was doing what Wood should’ve done in the CF position.

    Wood was ****ing awful all match. 3/10 tops. He’s so embarrassingly out of his depth it’s cringeworthy. Two gilt edged headers and he ****ed both up so badly it was laughable. Then got a late chance 18 yards from goal and chose to pass…..directly to a Brentford player. He’s unbelievably bad.

    Bruno was a clear 8/10. Thirty minutes of perfection.

    Shelvey easily 8/10.

    I actually thought we were a lot sloppier than we have been in previous games and maybe wouldn’t have won that if they hadn’t had a man sent off.

    Targett and Fraser worked well together but I thought they benefitted the most from the space that the sending off created.

    Joelinton is improving all the time - before it was all about his tackling. He is starting to go past people and is getting in good positions as well.

    Thought the pitch was awful - when they showed it close up you could see the grass was a lot rougher than the normal PL pitches. PL teams shouldnt be allowed to ground share with other teams or sports.

    I give up. My missus just said to me “Joe Linton isn’t a very Brazilian name is it though? It sounds more Geordie than anything. Why is that?”

    She couldn’t understand why I was laughing at her. She ****ing follows all the NUFC pages on Instagram, how can you have missed this! She’d be dangerous with a fully functioning brain.

    That's what happens when you allow yourself to be surrounded by idiots!

    I feel like you’re encroaching on my borders here and not showing due respect. I would ask you again to de-escalate.

    It was obvious to all of us that she was not all there when @Albert's Chip Shop was boasting of their exploits.

    It was more an attempt to slag off Chippy. Your wife was just collateral damage.

    As a free and civilised poster, I feel it is my duty to offer support to Mrs Pouchov from your stupidity. I invite her to join our not606 alliance against you!

    You are welcome to set up home with Miss Information. We have all noticed you flirting with her in recent months anyway!

    tagging doesn’t work for mods mate. You’d know this if you did any work and paid attention to the mod board…

    Did you know rep has been banned too?

    I know it doesnt. It saves typing out full name though. Never involved with Rep. Don’t need validation of my popularity on here.
