Eh? Wieffer was good today. Only had to come off as Pawson was desperate for a chance to send him off.

The thought of them wining the Cup far outweighs the the European placing....I think.

No one is getting “irrationally angry” - that’s a rather trolling comment.
We did well the first half and were the stronger side but it was a poor second half from us. We threw away victory with a silly handball and missed open goal.
As a team, the match was littered with below par, individual errors (on both sides).
I think Hinsh looked lost in MF, we were vulnerable to counter attacks as usual in our transitions, gave away possession needlessly and there was poor communication between Bart and VH. Baleba arrived late, Dunk made several poor clearances and Adingra constantly ran into defenders … nitpicking but only because I have seen us play better and when Europe is at stake, it was disappointing second half.
I think a point a piece was a fair result and of course it was good to get something from it but for a home game that we almost had in the bag, it was 2 points needlessly dropped IMO.

Naylor says minor back injury
One would hope so. This really is likely to go down to the wire.

Thought that was a gutsy defensive display IMHO, really dogged against a very good team
He’s with his graphic design team composing something that actually looks like him to replace the monstrosity the north stand displayed as the teams walked out

Not that there's much chance this season, but 100% would want a shot at the Conference. European experience, chance of winning a trophy. I thought it was only teams like United and Chelsea that whined about some competitions being beneath them!
Nah, let's miss out for five years and wait until the CL comes our way!

We could win the Conference and get Europa... You'd expect a side 7-9th in the Prem to go deep into the competition. I take your point about the travelling but any European competition is the target surely? Imagine us winning a European trophy - us!!!

Very quiet walk back to the car but my expectations were that we would get overwhelmed today. In fact it looked like our previous two victories over them had left a mark on Howe, they were very unadventurous first half and our brilliant winger took advantage. Second half obviously the game broke up but we traded punch for punch like a good prize fight.
Our performance today has woke me up a bit, I thought our season was slipping away without a fight but we matched a very good team. We need to win next week of course but I’m more hopeful of that today than when I travelled this morning

Must have done, if the blithering idiots can't even spell the player's name.

Oddly flat game, notable for some wild shots and misplaced passes
TBH the way it's going in 5 years time the CL might be taking 12 PL teamsNah, let's miss out for five years and wait until the CL comes our way!

I don’t know how anyone watched that game and thought anyone other than Minteh was our MotM. There were a few other decent performance (Bart, JPVH, Dunk), but Minteh was miles ahead of everyone else.
Thought the same! He was woeful

Every time people say that the players that weren't there would have made a difference.

Our first time conceding fewer than two goals in the league since Fulham at home at the start of March.
