pretty funny from West brom fans, pretty much sums up the game for them:

[Mikhail Chigorin]

We don't seem to have had many clean sheets, in the League, this season, so it was particularly nice to get one today.

Bearing that in mind, what's the consensus with regard to Fernando playing at right back ?? I don't think he was too bad today and is this a position he could now make his own, or was it simply a 'one-off' ??

I thought he played well also. Not sure if he has the speed to be a permanent fixture there, though.

Love the self depracating humour

This cat Jonathan Leko was impressive off the bench, I must say, when he came on. Toasted every defender on our left, and Fernandinho.

Steady on Prez.

He might have looked good but bear in mind it was only City defenders he was up against.

What would he be like on a freezing Tuesday night, in the middle of winter, away at Stoke ??

[ Just joking and, agreed, he didn't look too bad when he came on ]

Didn't watch the game and I understand Fernando did a reasonable job. But call me old school as I'd sooner have an actual right back playing right back. It is a specialist position if done correctly with the balance between attack and defensive cover a tricky one to master.

The boy Maffeo who played at the swamp had a good game the other night. Baffles me why he didn't play.

Very happy with that performance. Just would have accepted a scrappy 1-0 win before the game. But we played some great stuff at times and gundo coming on in his play.
It's a no for Fernando in a full back position, just too slow to play there.

Curiously, before just about every League game when we're feeling tense, nervous and full of foreboding, nottsblue and myself usually agree we'd both be happy to take a scrappy, fortunate 1-0 victory and just be relieved to come away with the three points. I'd have been happy with such a result this afternoon and I'm sure NB would also.

For some reason today however, neither of us posted anything to that effect and, at the risk of being ridiculously superstitious, I wonder if we've both been jinxing the team in some way, by airing our apprehensions fairly openly ??

So how's about it NB; shall we try a different approach in future and see if we can help the team by keeping our pre-match worries to ourselves ?? It won't be easy but is it worth a try ??

[Justified logic]

Feeling apprehensive about this one.
So that means we'll thrash them.
Is that how this works?

It seems so.

Great day.
City win.
United fall a further 2 points behind. That cunt Herrera sent off. That cunt Mourinho sent to the stands and into a sulk.
Great day.
