You didn’t say they were average. You said they weren’t first teamers. The fact they have over 200 Premier League appearances between them suggests they are, in fact, first teamers.

this has genuinely made me feel happy. It’s been so long since we scored 3 and always looked in command and played attractive football. Still missed chances, but that’s ok as long as others go in.

JWP has had a fantastic game.

Yes, MOTM for me. What more does he need to do. Some of his passing and deadballs should be raved about as world class. They would if he played for a richer team.

great win, feels like last year. No 20mins of defending. Great result.

As soon as we hear Van Dyke is ok for wednesday I will be optimistic for Liverpool.

When we play like that Stephans andd yosh look fine.

Keys & Gray did a big thing it wasn’t offside & showed Lino gave nothing so totally confused by the disallowed decision

Still sporting gorilla hands?

That game proved why football games MUST kick off later

To give fans the chance to consume alcohol.

It sounded dead on TV here

IF we had got the own goal, it would have been 4-0.

And then Rust Cohle would have been nearer than you with his 5-0 prediction.

I’m not going to beat you up for your forecast; form and goal scoring record made yours more likely than Rust’s.

My point, insomuch that I have a point, is to suggest you raise your horizon, support the team, stop being a churl and it might surprise you what we can acheive together.

BTW, your mum sells Avon.

The one Sky showed during the game seemed to suggest it was onside.

Didn’t it?

Chuffed to buggery for JWP, JRod and Claude. Good result and sets us up nicely for Liverpool. Shame about the injury to Virgil though. Don’t understand why JWP gets so much stick. It reminds of the grief that Matt Oakley used to get.

Marginally, it depends on your definition of offside, if any bit of the attacker is ahead of the defender (which it was here) then they are offside.

I thought they changed the law so that there had to be daylight between the attacker and defender but hey what do I know??

We need Sfcsim (Sotonian’s Howard Webb).

Isn’t it any bit of the most advanced player that you can legally score from?

i.e. arms don’t count.

BTW I don’t know if that changes the decision over Yoshida.
