Very quiet on here. Either it was as boring as I thought or you are all at the pub watching it and got chucked out 45 mins ago.
The 20/21 season has started. Not a classic but resilient, Not pretty but job done, Not the beautiful game but the day is beautiful Tiny steps, never an easy place to go, 3pts,clean sheet, out of the bottom three and a confidence booster. We March on.
Barry looks a lot like an Easter Island statue. Good result, still a lot of work to do though. Let’s not kid ourselves.
Boring. Dull. Zzzzzz Bloody loved it. Performance was almost irrelevant after that spurs 2nd half - 3 points changes it all.
Just watched to 30 mins highlights show on sky. 29 mins of slow motion replays and different angles of the players taking the knee and a minute of the Danny Ings goal. It was better than I remembered it last night.
I was quite shocked to hear Merrington say on the radio that this was our first win in the top fight at Burnley for fifty years when Mike Channon got the winner! Seeing that i used to watch Channon play when I first started going to football, this made me feel really old! By all accounts we were better in the first half and managed to cling on for the second to take away the three points. Looking at the league table, what it the betting that the bottom three clubs Fulham, Sheffield Utd and West Ham will still be there at the end of the season in July ? I can see Fulham being rooted to the bottom of the table.
When Wood fell over 'live' on Sky, there were lots of schoolboy jokes about Wood not staying up. I have to say that I was one of the contributors. See post #178, then several others.
Every other comment on here or on the Beeb feed is about who will be relegated or finish top 4 already. Cripes, reserve judgement til at least eight or so games in.
