Did Sterling actually get the ball in that game? I remember about half an hour in, Warren observing that he didn't think he had touched the ball at that point.
Steel yourselves for some bad news.
We are 10 points above Chelsea, with a vastly superior goal difference, and two games in hand.
This is after Chelsea hollowed out our coaching staff, we replaced Potter with an upgrade, and Potter got sacked by Chelsea 7 months later.
Yesterday, we...
I shall always remember what Tim Vickery said about him. I think it was before we had signed him. He said he always seems to come away with the ball.
So true.
Just watched MOTD.
I wanted to make this point earlier, but now I've seen it again, I want to give a shout for Pascal Gross in our first goal.
He can put a ball on a dinner plate. He made his cross for Welbeck, and he didn't have to move. The ball arrived right on his head.
Anyone notice how Enciso has packed on the muscle of late?
I remember how Trossard was transformed from a lightweight, into a PL-ready player, presumably through sessions in the gym.
I think the same thing has been happening with Enciso. He seems harder to knock off the ball these days...
I caught Johnny Cantor quoting someone he had been talking to. It might have been a commentator or a Chelsea fan. He said Enciso's goal was the best goal had seen in his entire life. He also said it could have been 7-1.
Time to put the Spurs debacle behind us. 3 points from 2 away games at Spurs and Chelsea, is OK.
But the real triumph, is not the points haul. It's the performances. We dominated both of them.
For me, since Potter's sacking, this fixture has lost some of its appeal and has returned to near normal levels of excitement. It's like a game against, say, West Ham.
