Best 90 minutes this season?

Best 98

I read that this is the only MU game at OT where no MU shots on target all game!

Apart from the penalty?

They had 1 shot on target, we had 3. There were no saves.

Good win. Decent performance against a very poor Man Utd side.

Minteh getting better and better - that raw player that arrived is being molded into a top Premier League player. Love his defensive work too - he's a unit.

Georginio is our golden boy - we predicted he would come on and score didn't we?

A few defensive errors today, one of which lead to their penalty, but largely it was a very strong defensive performance - the whole team acting as a unit.

Excellent three points.

Who is this Minteh you speak of, I've never heard of him.

Same for Georgino or whatever the spelling is, did he just sign this month?

RIP Man Utd.

Some guy was streaming the game on his lap top from an Arabic channel on to TIC TOK. LOL.

Now we’ve lost the yanks, TikTok might as well venture into new things

 

[Flounce]

Did we have our first 90 minute game of the season?

Ecstatic with that result

Cantor: "A mistake by Onana".

Yeah, what's new?

Warren: "Onanas got springs in his gloves"....

Be fair, they've travelled a long way for their day of a lifetime.

Very good...

At the risk of sounding like the old fart I am, how does it take 2 hours to play a match? In the 80s you'd have left at the final whistle, legged it across Hove Park and be in the car before Sports Report started.....

Remember earlier this season, when we were all having kittens about our high defensive line?

We’re not letting many in these days. United only found the onion bag because we gave them a penalty.

Seems the coach and players are learning. Must be that process thing we keep hearing about.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Great result. Better second half.

Why was it not a penalty when Onana deliberately trod/stamped on Van Hecke's foot. What's the difference between that and the disallowed goal?

 

[Triggaaar]

Tough to choose between Minteh, Baleba and Ayari for MoM.

With an assist and a goal, is Mitoma not even in the running?

 

[Triggaaar]

Great result. Better second half.

Have you got a clip of that?

 

[Cordwainer]

Excellent to see two of the relegation teams beaten in a week. Wonder if the new assistant coach/manager has had a positive impact??

 

[Justice]

90 minutes of football at last yay. Much better lads.

 

[WhingForPresident]

With an assist and a goal, is Mitoma not even in the running?

And the tackle in our box towards the end. Very fair point.

 

[Flounce]

Have you got a clip of that?

No but he 100% stood on his foot, not a stamp though

Great result. Better second half.

Can’t be a penalty if the ball is not in play, it can however be a red card for violent conduct (as it should have been - he looks down and forcefully stamps JP)
