I didn't notice that. Was on the way to the pub.

Well quite. I am normally. Why I ask if it's normal.
Pleased to hear you deemed the CG worthy of your presence.
-
BTW, lots of obviously outstanding performances today and no weak ones (if I have to choose a MOTM it's probably Sangare but CHO, Hutchinson, Jesus and Anderson were also all excellent) but worth mentioning is that the keeper looked very solid. Didn't have huge amounts to do but what he did do he did well.
-
I thought Hutchinson was excellent and yet not in the MOTM conversation. Nice problem.
-
For me it was Neco. Absolutely shattered and all in with twenty minutes to go. So much so that he was losing his balance when he was running he was so bollocksed. Yet never give up a chance (if you don't count the channel ball Anderson covered), and continued to run the ball out and offer the overlapping run.
Flapped or initially dropped most things. Kicking was dogshit (jesus's unbelievable movement made it look better) - it came off so many different parts of his foot, he injured himself kicking at one point. If you had picked the quarter of the pitch for him to hit, he would have missed one in three.
One decent (middle-ish of the goal) save, that he initially spilled.
-
Got overrun quite a few times in the first half. Had a better second half after spurts accepted how terrible they were being.
-
Feel like that's a slightly harsh assessment. He's not keeping Sels out when he's fit again, but also didn't have any of the howlers that I feared prior to kick off.
-
You didn't see the several crosses that he got two hands to, and palmed into play in the box?
Personally I'm glad that he had almost zero test today. I was quite stressed just watching him try to decide on his positioning from our corners, fuck knows what he would have been like if the ball had got anywhere near him with any sort of purpose.

Due to my seething hatred of Spuds, Im indulging myself in watching their fan videos post match.

Oh please do post links to any particularly good ones

We're now level on points (based on same opponents) with 22/23, one point behind 23/24 and 12 behind last season.
Any result next Monday improves that because we have lost all three at Fulham.
-
This is quite nice
-
One point from his 5, I think? (Arsenal a, Burnley a, Sunderland h, Newcastle a, Chelsea h.) So 17 from 11 non-Postecoglou games; scaled over 16 games, gives you 24.7. Puts us between Everton and ManU in 9th. Those feel like a tougher than average set of games, so probably that's unrealistic but you'd think Dyche would expect at least a point a game, which puts us level with Spurs and Newcastle.
-
For those who can ignore the Twatter link, this is also quite amusing.

The first dude is either a genius parody of the watch-along genre, on drugs, mentally ill, or a combination of the three.
