Yes you did …well done….was it three weetabix today?
Obviously you didn’t have them earlier in the week
‘’Now we need to start panicking. Only we could have ended up in this dogfight, when 8 or 9 games ago everything looked fine. Players downed tools after Burns exit and now they will start to play under more pressure and will make even more mistakes and play even worse, and then we will go down.’’
….still credit where credit is due ….a correct forecast of 1/2

When my twitter feed told me we had taken the lead, I had to double check another source such was the level of disbelief.
What a great result. I've only seen Leo's goal so far - what a fukken peach.
Somewhat boringly, I reckon that's it for how the EPL will shape up for 22/23 - the only remaining issue being the play off winners.

Graham Potter...
"It is a fantastic performance from the players and an even better result; I'm delighted for them. We've had a tough time, but we reset with a strong performance against Norwich and a really good one today. You can see how tough it is to win games in the Premier League."
"We had to hang on and suffer, but we did and the result makes it worth it. You have to be disciplined and good defensively here; [Arsenal] are a team who are competing for the Champions League places."
"They are top quality and we respected that; I didn't think we could hang on for the 1-0, we had to score again. Delighted we did that, but even then, we had to suffer at the end."

Even on a Saturday where we win, you can't stop being a tit. Strange guy.

and Pompey lost
Who?! Seriously, forgot they existed. I only follow the top 2 divisions really, and Non League. Haven’t seen Pompey in any for ages. Are they still in L2 or back in the L1 big time? Such a big club. Do they still get over 15k sometimes at their, cough, stadium?

Thank you. That was bloody brilliant too.

I had a funny feeling we'd get a point today, not sure why or how but to get three... wow... it feels a bit dreamy and zany tbh, especially as I expected them to 'respond' after their loss to Palace... maybe we benefited from them taking us a bit lightly, following our lack of goals and poor run of late? if so... I'll take it.
It's a sweet one for sure and by the sounds of it both our goals were beautiful !
I've been a bit subdued recently, by our form, and yes I was starting to worry GP was losing it 'big sytle..' one swallow doesn't make a summer, but this feels like the first warm day in a while and I swear I saw a bumble bee earlier...
High praise to Leo, Mwepu, Cucu, Dunk and Bob as well as Moises - a first start, and a fine win with it... he must be feeling pretty awesome.
Hope we keep this team for the Spurs match.

Anyone have the stats on deflected goals conceded and scored for the Albion this season? May be my imagination but we seem to concede far more deflected or goals that go in or bounce straight to the opposition to score off the woodwork, than we score. In fact are most of our goals conceded deflections or in off the woodwork?

Thanks. I see that Bis celebrated. Is everybody happy now?
I've not seen the game today. Is that a picture of Tross doing Maup's crying celebration on the BBC's EPL page? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league If he did, well done sir.

Most pleasing today apart from the result was we played at our level for the first time in ages. Only thing might have done different would be bring Maupay on for Welbz last 15 to wind them up. Apart from win a foul he didn’t touch it second half

He did his bit in defence though and got his foot in when needed. Not sure if Neal would have had the same presence on the Arse set pieces.
Our goal of the season, that’s a stunning goal.
Thought he did his hands like binoculars.
