For a multitude of reasons, that was the most thrilling, enjoyable and ultimately satisfying matches I have watched, in many-a-year. Kudos to every single person who made the atmosphere amazing (especially at the Amex) and to the entire team for putting in an incredible shift throughout. Hats-off to RDZ for taking a massive punt, too - long may it continue, and it just shows what we are really capable of, when we're in the right place, mentally.
Oh, and screw you, Potter, and the horse you rode in on.

Personally I think was the horrible french mustard away kit they wore that sapped their will to win.













Long may they wear it...

"It may have taken a deflection, but frankly who cares!" JC channelling his inner Barry Davis! Love it!
Warren: "That was a goal made in Ecuador" I am sure that won't be the last time that's said about this team

Well, I don’t normally engage in Albion threads on here as it’s not my place to do so, but having found myself in Hartlepool this afternoon, which is depressing enough in itself, having capitulated to a 2-1 defeat against the worst team in the football league, your result today genuinely raised a smile on my otherwise miserable face.

Pissed off with my own team but absolutely f***ing chuffed to bits for you lot. Hands up, my initial reaction of Potter to Chelsea was one of “you can’t really blame the bloke for going to a club that can win the Premier League / Champions League on shedloads more money” but there’s no doubt about it, he’s taken the f***ing piss and got everything he deserved today, with interest.

Will skip tonight’s EFL highlights and go straight to MOTD. Well f***ing done - what a great result against the treacherous bastard.

Predictable. He just can’t help but have a little dig at the fans can he?! Even on a day like today. Bet him and Potter had a right little bitch off about the fans in the print journalist conference. Twat.

I know you shouldn’t really go onto opposing teams forum, but this is a post from a Chelskie on the Shedend; sums up Chelsea, a team that has spent c £250m so far this year (just on players - excludes managerial expenditure and the cost to buy a song off us today):

“feel we are at a bit of a crossroads, we either spend in January (probably overspend as well) to salvage a top 4 spot this season or we write this season off and then tear up this squad and re-invest in a new squad next summer.”

Christ, he is such a bell.

I will say that if you want to take one negative from today...

... then you are a miserable bastard

That was down to Potter. Inept team selection (not for the first time). Only this time we were 3-0 down at half time and there was no time for Potter to fix his mistakes. He’s not as good as people say he is. That was as catastrophic a team performance as I’ve seen in a long time. It was like watching Kwasi Kwarteng in charge of the economy.

I'm glad somebody else thought so. Absolutely hideous.

 

[Mr Putdown]

You lot must have really enjoyed stuffing Chelsea after all that’s gone on.

Hats off, that’s a fantastic result. I’d love to have seen TB’s smile at the final whistle.

I haven't read the thread but I genuinely hope Swansman has taken this ok and not f***ed off. Been reading/posting on NSC for twenty years (mental) and i think he's a fascinating character and a great poster - compare to Watford O/Taffy ffs!

However today is one of the great days. Well done crowd. Well done De Zerbi. Absolutely sensational. Can't believe it

Thought the booing was way over the top. What do you expect cucu, potter et al to do really? They are humans. Found it all a bit pathetic.

Great performance helped by the atmosphere ironically. But seriously we shouldn’t get above our station and think it unacceptable for employees to want to develop themselves. Good for them

3pts. Done.
