Fantastic win given we lost control of it a little bit on the second half.  Nothing wrong with winning ugly

Special shout to the ref oliver. The most corrupt mother fucker in the league.

We should be writing a letter demanding answers

No we shouldn’t, that’s what pathetic clubs do. He was overzealous, but we were also giving away stupid fouls (that were fouls) too. The main obvious error on his part was he got it into his head that Menghi was being fair against Ollie, which he wasn’t.
Those pathetic clubs seem to get away it much more after writing them letters,

Hard to know what to say about that, really. Delighted to win but peeved about how we managed it in the end. Sets up next Sunday to be the most physically painful game since Arsenal during lockdown. Win that, it's Champions League imo.

I think Oliver was poor, and the yellows for Doug and Bailey were ridiculous. But we did commit a lot of stupid fouls as well. There’s fault on us for that, no matter how much we want to push it all to the ref.

We did, but they were making the same challenges and having play waved on, that was the problem, you can be a pernickity shit and blow up for everything or you can let things go and try to let the game flow, you can't do one for one team and one for the other. We didn't commit a single foul all game that was any worse than they were doing to Watkins. Inconsistency is what pisses me off with refs and today was as bad as anything I can think of.

The Menghi vs Ollie battle was his main mistake, because he got it into his head that Menghi was being fair. He also gave us some very soft yellow cards, but I think most of the fouls he gave were fouls.

I think you're being very generous to him, it wasn't just Mengi who was getting away with things, Morris was regularly putting hands on the back and shoulders of defenders so they couldn't challenge him which is as much of a foul as the one he booked Luiz for. There were 2-3 times where they clipped our player after the ball was gone and he waved it on but gave them free kicks for the same thing. Again it's not about where you draw th eline on what is or isn't a foul, it's about applying that fairly to both teams and no one could seriously claim he did that.

The tendency to sacrifice leads is worrying but Unai’s game management was sound.
There is no tendency. The two 2-0 to 2-2 are unusual and outliers.

Correct, we've dropped the least points from a winning position of any team in the league, the Man Utd defeat is the only one all season.

Sat in the pub with a couple of mates who are ManU fans. Giving it bigun after equaliser, but that's so satisfying!

Top 5 for sure now.
Those red scum ****** will be looking at 11 points come tomorrow 6pm with same games played. They can kiss our arse.

Exactly what I'm saying to them... 😉

Sky and the others are always telling us that the "big teams" always seem to find a way to win. Welcome to "big".

We nearly did it against Forest too. We shouldn’t be blind to the fact it’s an area we need to improve on. Regularly shipping two goals puts massive pressure on your forward play.

I don't worry too much about the letting teams back into the game thing. It's an unwelcome trend but more of an indication that we already feel we have the game won, which means we must be playing well, so it's mentality rather than skills. We're nervous as fans that we're on the cusp of a stellar achievement - I think that's a factor for the players too.

12 efffectively with -22 goal difference before they face their cheating neighbours.

Drummond - hope you give it the big un after the winner & followed it up with ‘the most annoying thing about this season is losing 6 points to their dog turd if a team’

Yep, exactly. 'can't believe we lost to you lot'..

Brilliant to get a late win and really piss off Spurs, Man Utd etc in the process.

It's what the top teams do.
That makes it sweet.  They don’t like it we know but they can suck it up.
