Seems quite apt him ending up at Norwich.

Anyway, home win and a lovely 3 points for Rafa's lads. Away defeat for Fulham with a dry trip to Dubai accompanying SEW for the Craven cottage crew.

Funny game this, I hate playing Fulham as from my alcohol addled memory we've had quite a few shit results over the years including at home, so wouldn't be surprised at a slip up. On the other hand.....Rafa, Brighton win last night, Rafa, Shelvey-Ritchie-Gayle all starting a game in the same game, Rafa strong finishes, being at home, Rafa, we're stronger, Rafa. (Head says 3-0, haunted memories says 0-1).

Imagine if we'd lost recently to Brighton and then 3-0 to forest the next game! Pretty sure that would be classed by some as something similar to wilting.

Sounds a cracking holiday to me, sure, there's no cracking holidays without human rights controversies, but you can't make an omelette without breaking an egg.

Take a look at @leazeslad's Tweet: https://twitter.com/leazeslad/status/839960530626420738?s=09 Just passing this on as requested.

Is that Rod Stewart's nose from spitting image?

Our record v Fulham is shite. I'd be very happy with any kind of win.

I thought the Storyville about OJ Simpson was superb. Watched the first episode last night on iPlayer, was 3 hours and I didn't realise how long it was going to be on when I first put it but stayed up to watch it through. I'd never heard of him at the time so was interesting seeing his early days and getting an insight into his mind. Also went into some good interviews with the racial unrest of the 60's through to the Rodney king business and the LAPD controversy. He was guilty as sin.

Ohhh Fish is fucking magicHe wears a magic hat He tried to outstat HF, But he thought 'nah fuck that' He wants to stick with mitro With italics on all night Aaaand when he does his podcast he'll continue talking shite!

Aye, that's about it, like.

I've no doubt either although I think even he would've toned his views down if I was around.

I liked Stevie on here, had some proper laughs at the stuff mentioned but also his lists and criteria for stuff. If anyone says they didn't laugh at the toing and froing when there was a spat with Stevie, J69, ant, Ewerk etc then they're the people involved who were too worked up at the time. There's been very few on here who've actually pissed me off and no more than for a little while. Obviously didn't agree with everything he said but so what? The place would be a bit more interesting if he and CT were back whether people like it or not. (And MF, while I'm on, is he OK? Never seen him on here for a while?)

If they weren't such a mess off the pitch they would have chance of regrouping, a chance, no guarantees. If you look at their squad, their external debts and the ingrained bitterness of their existence in the last few years which the derby and our relegation glossed over, then I think it's going to be at least a few years before the PL comes around again for them.

:lol: And we're the deluded ones?

Read the 'next season' thread, looks like being in the championship has loads of advantages all of a sudden.

Amazing how a few think they'll piss the championship and their side is better.

Great post but tbh I quite like seeing the bitterness from opposition fans and pundits/presenters. When Man U were clawing the points back off us we were banging the drum but I think we all knew how it was going to end up. Rafa's United are a different set up as he he's far more pragmatic and the likes of Brighton, Reading and Huddersfield aren't Man U and don't have Ferguson managing them. Let the bitterness go on, it's fucking great reading and seeing it when we've just won again.

Renton's fucking magic He wears a magic hat He had a normal window, But he thought 'no, fuck that' He bought a stain glass window For his Whitley Bay address Aaaand every time we bring it up He'll say he couldn't care less.

Well that was some day, great win, bruised shins from going ape shit for the goals, lost my wedding ring clapping the O'Brien chant and flapped for the last few minutes until a kid found it for me just after the full time whistle, (I had a few looking for it). Been rough round the edges today as I'd had a canny sup.
