    Love Wilson’s interview. Talking about Zidane…. Oh see Dan! Ah well. Zinedine would’ve been proud of it too

    Well if you can’t enjoy football after this week, you need to move on to another sport . Doesn't matter what level we are playing at, apart from winning a trophy or league that takes some beating .. Fantastic atmosphere end vs Leeds , top goal vs Hull .. first half against Luton back to the wall stressful 45 mins with quality counter attacks then total control with world class goal yesterday ..

    We’re not scoring enough tap ins imo …

    … even Rigg’s, against Boro, was too classy for my liking.

    We’re just not accustomed to all this football.

    That was surreal yesterday. Never been so relaxed at a match in my lifetime. I thought Oxford really tried but we were just far too good, and could have gon up more levels.

    Had the benefit is seeing Roberts up close first half, and his close control, movement bursting past players was absolutely sublime. That ‘double tap’ to find Hume to cross for Jobe was ridiculous. Just keep pulling the trigger Paddy so you break your duck soon.

    Shame we couldn’t bag a few more goals but keep those in the tank for when we need em. Junior enjoyed it, esp the loud singing at the end

    We have someone in charge who knows how to build a connection with us and our history..personally think we have moved onto a totally different culture … loved the z cars yesterday gave a great buzz for me .. I can see them building off the back of Netflix

    Anyone might think that were actually being run as a professional football club. I’m not having it I tell you. Not having it. Come back Ellis Short, Maggie Byrne. I want us to be run by circus clowns again.

    Just noticed Maja has scored more than half of West Brom’s goals and they’ve only scored two at home …

    … I think Sainz, at Norwich, has scored almost half of their’s.

    As the season continues they’ll be marked tighter, an injury could really affect them. Oxford didn’t know who to mark yesterday …

    … three wins in a week and our striker is injured <laugh>

    That's what's impressed me the most, we have so many goal threats - I think we've had the most different scorers in the league.

    We really are a team, we have options n players to come back into the fold but we don't rely on 1 player to win us a game

    Not a dig and off topic to the thread but why are people saying he needs a break of has fallen off? And failing to recognise that the madrid hierachy have signed a player in mbappe that doesn't fit their profile or help them?

    In addition its a sign of the player he is that bellingham is playing here there and everywhere because hes energetic and committed, the same cannot be said for mbappe who is whilst a top player, the root cause of madrids imbalance this season
