Yup my adrenalin levels are back to near normal. It's been awhile since I have been so excited during a match, normally I can watch and comment on here at the same time. Today I couldn't take my eyes of the screen and was sitting here on my tod, screaming and shouting like the good old days. Right up to the end even though Chelsea's class was starting to show through, I thought we could have nicked a draw and deserved it. Sun is long passed the yardarm and am now relaxing with a nice malt. Watching PDC interview on SSN, very eloquent and passionate. He says the match gave him "a very good feeling" about the future of SAFC. Paolo I couldn't agree more. I would be proud to have a pint with you bonny lad.
Listened to it on 5 live but commentary was as bad as ever. Sounds like he played Sess deeper and johnson further forward on the counter, is that right? Sounded like Whickam had a good game too?
First half no one was playing deep. Sess and AJ were played the same as normal, the difference was we had players up supporting them quickly, it looked like a different team. Kudos to Wickham he chased and harried for all he was worth, but only had one telling shot toward goal. I would have brought Graham on in the second half as the youngun had clearly ran his race and couldn't keep up the first half intensity.
Graham must have an injury. He didn't warm up before the match or when the other subs did. Probably on the bench to make Rafa think he was an option.....? x
I wonder if you're right bobby, as I thought when Wickham got elbowed and was down, he would have been told to get warmed up.
Canny mate they all did really. He was so unlucky with the own goal you wouldn't believe it. When you see it on MOTD spins off him and curls round in slow motion to the far corner.
Just seen the stats for our game on SSN. ZERO shots on target. TWO yellow cards. NINE yep NINE RED CARDS
