There's been so much ste thrown at the team this season and, yet, the character, grit, determination and sheer effort has been outstanding throughout that.
We must keep Isak and Bruno.
Today's front three were utterly, fking scary.
Really unsure what 'clicked' today. The spine of the team was relentless and very aggressive. First to the ball, transistions.We must keep Isak and Bruno.
Today's front three were utterly, fking scary.
It's probably something we do very well at home, play aggressively high, threaten their back line at every opportunity and it was something missing from our game earlier in the season. Have to say Isak, Barnes and Gordon up front together are excellent at this, and Anderson puts a real shift in too. He is a player who I think will go from strength to strength in the next season or 2. To think the defence was more makeshift than it has been during our injury woe, Spurs barely made a dent in it.
Bournemouth should feel aggrieved... Penalty for me.
Focusing on us... We were fantastic today. Exploited the high line perfectly. First two goals were comical but to be in those positions in the first place is great. What a win that is.
A run of 4 winnable games, should be aiming for a minimum of 9/12 points. Still have Manure to play at Ye Olde Trafford (probably be asking the National Trust for funds soon...). Makes me laugh that commentators are saying manure are still in the race for champions league, but we're only going for Conference. Bias...

A weekend where all results went for us after thumping a team who were expecting / were expected to beat us comfortably, while picking up no new injuries?
Yeah, I'd say that's a perfect weekend.
Chelsea have put themselves in a very dangerous position in the hunt for 6th following that result tonight.Yeah, I'd say that's a perfect weekend.

The points reduction over the fishy hotel deal should help there.Here’s hoping you have the belief in yourself as a team and manager to get three points at OT this weekend - another performance like the League Cup one would be enough - Utd are so poor, how they are where they are is down to luck largely - and yet their fans still moan. You’re doing okay for ‘a wee club in the north-east’ to quote Ferguson (more incentive right there) …
