    It's probably a good thing that you got the train as we got stuck one turn out of the car park <doh>
    We got to Leamington just before midnight, had a coffee and got home at 2am. We were still singing the Bublé song and watched a few highlights on youtube. I finally had a celebratory beer and then had some kip <laugh><laugh>
    Hope we do all meet up in 2 weeks but still not done yet <cheers>

    And I still despise the b*stards to this day for that. Met a lad in Tenerife and asked who he supported. Replied Coventry. Told him to fk off. Maybe a tad overboard but fk them all haha.

    I remember in that split second my brain said “ah well 2-2 is still a good away score”. Thank you Jobe!

    Something stood out yesterday.

    I've seen people say RLB is passive on the touchline, which I don't agree with ... he's just subtle imo.

    But Lampard looked like he was drugged last night.

    I don’t think he’s passive, he’s just calm. He doesn’t overreact to anything good or bad.

    Yeah he allows himself to celebrate but it’s for like a few seconds and then he’s back on it keeping that equilibrium

    Anyone been on their board? Are they gutted? Are they arrogant thinking they will still get through? Might have a sneaky look.

    Haven’t been on their board but if I was them I’d still be keeping the faith that they can turn it round. They’ll be thinking an early goal on Tuesday and it’s anyone’s game.

    Essentially we’re only 2-1 up at home at half time

    Just a lot of:
    - Sakamoto can't play away games drop him
    - Wright needs dropped
    - BTA needs dropped
    - Can't play Simms
    - Play all 3 strikers

    Basically they all seem like they are hopeless in regards to how to break us down and think they have no answers.

    * Also that Lampard is "tactically inept", managed to dominate possession but didn't remotely dominate Sunderland
