Tardy in the extreme, I've finished a match report.

If anybody is still interested in reading about a game that happened DAYS ago, click here: http://www.northstandchat.com/content.php?722-Albion-3-1-West-Ham-United-03-02-2018

Into the second period - quiet period - not much happening - then BOOOOM. Jose Izquierdo, take a ****ing BOW. The Colombian winger released a shot – heading high and wide of the goal – before curling and dipping unfeasibly - into the very top corner of Adrian’s goal. “That is POSTAGE STAMP!” screamed Jonathon Pearce on his Match of the Day commentary.

A momentary pause to take it in, then the Amex erupted – Yeeeessss! Come on! Did you see THAT!? The goalscorer himself, charged off down the touchline towards the Albion half, swinging his shirt above his head – Schelotto chasing behind. Maty Ryan, who’d been sprinting towards the South goal for a customary bundle, had to turn and run back in pursuit – an iconic image of the season to date.

Superb as per.

To call Murray's effort an "wildly speculative overhead kick" makes it sound way more impressive than it was. It was an old man very slowly falling over, who happened to have one leg pointed up in the air.

Ha just seen the drawing. Superb. Would love a collection of these, with each games' scoreline alongside.

Why have you coloured Izquierdo in but not Schelotto and Ryan? They're not that pale. Racist :lolol:

Good report as always!

Good stuff, as always.

I saw the West Ham one shot on target stat. Did the clearance off the line not count, along with the goal?

It should. Often garbage those stats!

I'll collate them all into one special ARTWORK thread, sometime. At the end of the season perhaps.

The original sketches are mostly all in a pile tucked under the keyboard of my work PC. Though I seem to have mislaid the one of Steve McLaren's hair island...

Reporting on a game from days ago? I'd read the report if it was from decades ago! The art adds to the class:lolol:

That's an idea.

An Exile (retrospectively) reports series...

- the 1983 Cup Final
- Doncaster at home (1997)
- THAT Hereford game

...etc etc
