Number 2 is usually associated to harmony, balance, consideration and love.

Well he has a two on his shorts. I think it’s that. It just seems.. For the sake of it? Maybe that’s the reason for most tattoos I dunno.

I was wondering if it was a secret code that I wasn’t aware of.

Is that because that’s the feeling when you have a good number two?

Awesome chase down into the left back position by Smith Rowe with a minute left.

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

that was a very quick var check to decide with absolute certainty there was no contact on Partey in the box! How often have we been treated to the forensic analysis of the smallest touch for penalties?

Mmm. It seemed a profile yellow from the ref tbh. If that was a striker I reckon he thinks twice. VAR doesn’t overturn it and VAR rarely does there. No yellow and play on seems the fairest result perhaps.

Wow. What a ridiculous win. Rather a guilty delight in getting those 3 points.

Grim watching. A bit like the Parma final.

Double over Chelsea! We go up to 8th!!

Author:  Rich [ Wed May 12, 2021 9:12 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

Well well well. Did not see that result.
Smith-Rowe scored the winner but he was also fantastic all game.

We actually have a spine of the team who suit that kind of backs to the walls effort, Holding, Mari, Elneny, Partey.

You can look at the performance in two ways.
negative: totally dominated by chelsea, shows how far to get to their level
positive: restricted chelsea to maybe 1 shot on target all second half, defended well and found a way to win against a team who clearly have better players than us

Great result.

Can't say I enjoyed watching us defend for most of the match but I suppose needs must.

Some heroic defensive performances but it felt more like a relegation team parking the bus than two heavyweights slugging it out.

Emile Smith Rowe easily our best player today

This is probably true, but considering how we outplayed them at times in our home win I'd say we've done our part against Chelsea this season!

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

So we've beaten 3 of the top 4 away from home.

We're probably not as good a team as wins away to Man U and chelsea say, but equally we aren't as bad a team as taking 1 point from burnley and drawing at home to fulham and southampton

Away from home our points total is something that would fare well against any top 4 placed team over the last few years I'd bet - but lots of teams have been better away from home this year.

30 points away from home you'd take again next season. You'd think you could/should get 40 points at home, 70 points total has you in the mix for top 4

Smith Rowe was excellent, shades of Grealish in the way he moves with the ball.

I think Holding is a lot better than many give him credit for.

Elneny did well too.

Everything went for us tonight from the Havertz miss onwards. Still, we did show a lot of character and kudos for that.

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

Well, didn't see that coming. Welcome surprised even though it could have easily been a loss. How we kept a clean sheet I have no idea.

I've thought Holding had upside potential ever since that cup final against Chelsea a few years back. Oxade-Chamberlain said "he bossed it' at the back in his first cup final. Pers played great, best defender on the pitch possibly that day but he's a german international, he's expected. Holding wasn't expected to and did great in a big game. Since then we've seen him regress but rose again in stature when given a run of games.

At the risk of sounding like a party pooper, I wouldn't make any more out of it than it is. We beat a good team with a combination of us playing well, the opposition making mistakes they normally wouldn't and a bit of luck.
We are capable of beating any side in the league on our day. So, has sides lower the table have done against the top sides.

This game should be one that instills belief and hopefully have the players buy in to the project. It certainly doesn't mean we've turned a corner. Far from it.

Smith Rowe. Well played sir.
Can’t believe we won but second half we defended very well.
