Every player was awesome today.

One of those games where it’s difficult to pick anyone out….

But as I am not BFG yet and still waiting in the bus queue…

Yiadom and Tetek almost a perfect 10 for both and Drinkwater ran the game for the most part; directing, passing; just a class apart.

And going forward; we have so many exciting players….

And Southwood….

And all those playing in defensive positions; can play; what a great performance and a great result and….

‘F—- the EFL’ was expressed appropriately

CountryRoyal Game in hand not withstanding but we’re out of the playoffs on GD.

Amazing what stringing a few wins together in such a close league can do.


I know it’s a cliche but you shouldn’t really take any notice of the tables until after 10 games. We never used to, it is only in the overhyped Sky Sports Premier League bullshit world that we’ve now got that the media bangs on about some team being top of the division after two games etc.

6ft Kerplunk It's the second motion that gets him sent off. Studs of both boots deliberately pushed into his chest when they were already on the ground.


Thank Christ for this. Absolutely spot on. It is the second motion that gets him correctly sent off. How folks can't see this is frightening.

Royal Rother Well I thought that deliberate by McNair.

Haven't seen a replay but thought it was deliberate too.

Red card or not, it's an excellent bit of keeping by Southwood. He has the gloves now.

First and foremost, Colin can verb my noun, and not in a good way.

Huge credit to Paunovic.

MOTM Drinkwater but lots of credit to Yiadom, Laurent and Tetek who thrived in what should have been difficult circumstances.

I say “should have been” because Boro were god awful, hugely lacking in creativity, very easy to pass around, and unable to impose themselves on the game. They started strongly when Tetek was struggling but quickly ran out of ideas. Their left winger offered nothing and they didn’t even bother using their right winger.

Warnock surely living on borrowed time and I hope Boro face some serious repercussions for their aggression towards Tetek and our physio. How many players have had their careers ended prematurely because of Warnock? It’s going to be quite a body count.

Buzzing. Let’s go. STGs starting to look even stupider than they did a few weeks ago.

Great result. Chuffed for Paunovic, shutting a lot of people up.

Warnock managed to lose to a team with 9 first team players out injured, no strikers, no centre backs, 8 midfielders on the pitch, and he still managed to blame the ref :lol:

yuomi Fine for Crooks to go for that ball. Absolutely not fine for him to keep going for it/leave his foot in once they were both on the deck and the ball was clearly in Southwood's hands. Clear red for me.

Not a red for me


Agreed, the afters warranted a yellow, but never a red for me.

McNair though, straight red (and he’d already been booked).

Would've been spectacular if Colin had come on to say 'Never a red, but the other one was'

Obviously never going to happen

Agree. He was frustrated from an earlier incident & knew Hoilett was behind him. Should’ve been sent off
