I know, Bob!, but in another game I was watching at the weekend, there was a long injury in injury time, about 2 or 3 minutes, and they added on less extra extra time than they did last night.

Still, unnecessary corner given away and we really should've closed it out again. Still, it's nice to be able to enjoy watching my team play this season. You must be pretty happy too?

All 4 goals were defensive mistakes. Poor game. Two mid table average teams. Nothing to see here this season.

Isn’t every goal down to a defensive mistake?

Eg Carlos Alberta’s goal in 1970 vs Italy. Possession given away, poor closing down in midfield and no one tracking the run down the inside right channel.

Terrible defending, as Hansen would say.

Bob!
Amazed by our position in the table Dio.

Our football hasn't been as pretty as last season but we've seemed to get the breaks so far.

Well put, TRO. I always cite that that goal as one of the best ones ever.

Yes, lots of goals are defensive mistakes. Pressing Arsenal is a no brainer, they're rubbish at coping with it, have been for years and Arteta hasn't done much about it. Lost count of how many goals they concede that way.

'Steve Bruce sacked' is probably not surprising news for anyone.

I think you'll find it was 'mutual' - you're sacked - oh ok then...

Those lovely new owners, who would've thought it?

[My son pointed out that he found "that woman" (Amanda Stavely) very scary. Googling her revealed that she has made her fortune from getting into bed with the Saudis. She appears to be quite ruthless and ambitious.]

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
