Xhacka is our best signing, a legend...I hope he manages the club when Reggie is finished (in 10 years time). But **** me...Roeufs is ridiculously good. The fact it's a close call for best buy tells you everything. Sadiki and Mukiele sitting on the sidelines screaming we're mint too...and they're right.

Club is in the best state of my lifetime, facts...me fatha agrees and he's far from a sunshine and rainbows kinda guy.

Mate, I've just posted the same post. Haha. Odd that.
 
Has to be one of the sweetest moments of my Safc career. Supposedly little club down the road who would be destroyed by the” richest club in the world “ and they’ve been put in their place. And no one can say it was one of those one off freak results. No reason why we can’t do the double - 3-0 at their place again ? .
10 goals man I’m tellin ya. 10 goals. Wonder where that barmy twat is at the minute <laugh> <laugh>
 
Can't argue with the result, we created nothing all game. Aside from about 10 minutes after the goal (when you looked to be pushing for a 2nd) and the expected few minutes at the end (when we attempted to push for an equaliser) both teams looked more comfortable at the back but lacking some quality going forward.

ExG is a flawed measure but I think both teams having low figures 0.29 v 0.25 tells a story. It was a cagey affair which was presumably horrible for a neutral so the only thing that matters from such games is getting a good result over the line. You achieved that and we didn't so fair play. It wasn't unfair, unwarranted or unexpected so can't imagine anyone having any complaints at the end.

We move on, have a nice Christmas, I'm sure this will help!
No problem mate you have a good one as well, give Som a smacker from me and Albert a kick in the knackers if you see him.
 
Firmly back in their ****ing box

Reinildo and Mukiele playing like men possessed.

Sadiki, Le Fee, Xhaka. Class in midfield

Brobbey a right handful for them

Buzzing with that. They didn’t want it. Every players wanted it more with every challenge

How we’ve got all that passion in so many new signings is unreal
 
While I agree that Xhaka is the signing of the Summer, I want to give a massive shout out to Roefs. Not just today, but so far this season. Today, some important catches from crosses, and he ran about 15 yards to collect them. Absolutely no s**t thrown toward Patto, but I doubt we would be where we are without Roefs.
There have been some absolutely outstanding signing during the summer, but you’re right about Roefs. For years my heart used to be in my mouth whenever the ball was crossed into the box, but now I’m a lot more relaxed and actually expect our keeper to come out and claim it. Superb signing.

Can't say it much better than that, well said. We were fired up and disciplined in equal measure, and won individual and group battles all over the pitch. Not one that neutrals would enjoy as a classic but it was two sides who were right up for it. Our quality and spirit shone through.

Have a cracking night everyone and I bet the town is absolutely bouncing. Soak it in.
