    We are going to run out of superlatives for this side. 10 out of 10 on any measure I can think of. The fans looked and sounded brilliant as well.

    Mowbray, though. What a bloke.

    How long ago does it seem since we beat Bristol City 3-2 opening day? If it wasnt for the fact that this is our first season back in the championship i would have sworn it was the beginning of last season.

    Well said mate. Ekwah was immense today and Mowbray was sub perfect. Ekwah reminds me of Fabregas. I know that is stupid, but he looks like him when he first came here. All the talent, languid, classy in possession, always looking forward. Dan has all but perfected the holding role and he is so good at it. The two of them coule be brilliant for years together. Dawson on sky sports was raving about them as a pair. I am with him. Ekwah makes me wonder how much michut is needed to be honest.

    The biggest take home for me that when the mags thought they had scored, the 1st thing that went through Pardew and Woodman's heads was to turn to PDC and celebrate at him. Absolute ****ing losers

    So, moving on to Luton on Saturday. Do we bring Ballard in from the cold? Hopefully Cirkin and Gooch are ok.
    As well as we've done of late, you surely couldn't ignore having a 6'2" brick ****house available to compliment the back line

    FWIW I thought Anderson looked extremely tidy when he came on. Has lovely feet and comfortable on the ball

    That's the main thing I took away from seeing Anderson in the 21s, no problem handling the ball at all; just needs to develop the physique a bit more which will come in time (and a good pre season)

    How good was Ekwah today? Getting better and better every game. I wish we could play 14 players every game because I want Michut, Pritch and Ba on the pitch as well as the 11 who started today
