Isn't a 'big chance' subjective though?

Right was definitely mis-shaped, as if he'd been smacked but my guess is that little thing called 'Spotty little cunt' ;-)

They're both like that - he was stood with his left to camera, then turned round to reveal his right.

I thought the same the mate but then came to the conclusion that nobody could have a cheek bone that fucking big!

Funny thing is, great chance-takers like Gerd Muller and Gary Linneker wouldn't get a game these days. Price you have to pay I guess

For Leicester or Crystal Palace, they would.
It's the same with all our defenders being written off. Mangala would've been a world beater in Leicester of last season, just to mention one example.

Don't bother with edge. How a depressive fuck like that didn't slit his wrists years ago is beyond me. Always manages to see the negative side and ignoring the positives.


Ok. Everything is totally rosy and we have no issues whatsoever.

Wow, the land of the delusional is actually pretty fun.

Meanwhile back in the real world, it's clear we have a lot of problems that need addressing.


We're certainly not the finished product, but you're still a depressive cunt, who always focuses on the negative, even when we score the winner in injury time. Your post might've made sense half an hour later. Now it just came across a trolling attempt from a perpetual mood killer.

Nah, don't be daft. WE just need a decent set of defenders and we're sorted. Pep or no pep.

There's a few more issues than just the defence in my opinion. Although the defence is a big one. Not even mentioning the goalkeeper situation.

The squad is in a weird place, where we have a lot of players 30+ and a fair few 22 or below. We don't have that many players in their prime years 23 - 29.

It's in flux, we just can't do it all at once. Fullbacks will almost certainly be the next change in the summer.

Great win. Should have been 5 ahead by half-time with some incredible football. Dug the win out in the end, though. We'll done to one and all.

I'll say nothing about the officials.

I prefer your view of it rather than the doom and gloom above.
We all know we're not the finished article but anyone who cannot see improvement since January is blind.
Pep is learning, but I've confidence that he is a very good student.
He is s brave manager. Not afraid to make big decisions but I believe he is being pragmatic in putting Willy in goals, finally.

He also realised that our big problem is not putting our chances away and it's s huge call taking Kun out of the firing line at the moment.

I'm not complaining, that's for sure.

I'm feeling glass half full tonight so I will say we got the result we deserved with some grit.
The ref should have done his job so it was done and dusted first half. But we got there in the end. Swansea have had good results recently but got nothing today. A good day's work.
