HBA and Rafa, yes please.

Even still, Spain is killing it currently. There's a common perception that there are only two strong teams in Spain with a huge gulf, Atletico are singularly breaking that perception but even going beyond them there's a lot more depth in la liga than many realise. They're a lot more economical with their spending, the English league is I think at its weakest point in a long long time which is made even worse by the average wage bills which are the highest of all the leagues.

Reported.

Cruel to take MOTM away from Townsend who have everything and scored a belter, but have to give it to Darlow.

Yes!!! Darlow you champ!

Sissoko ffs. You moron.

You beauty Townsend!

Well we look shit so far, long ball, long ball...

We're still most definitely favourites to go down, there's no guarantee against Villa let alone Crystal Palace, but win both of those and we'll probably be in with a shot at survival on the final day.

Fucking infuriating. Even the way he jogged on to the pitch gave the appearance that he's completely full of himself. Slow and lazy as fuck, a glory hound with not enough talent for glory.

I'm glad Colback got the goal. He's busted a gut and been valuable since Rafa came in after looking utterly useless not so long ago. Likewise with Anita last week.

Fucking Shelvey, have a go at him. Moving about like he'd been out there 180 minutes instead of 20. A good result, great given the position we were in at the end of the half. Should keep the spirits high.

The touch insta-killed the space, he needed more momentum or to hit it right away.

That was a text book free kick in the box there, what's the ref playing at?

Lucky they're a heartless bunch or someone would have had a tap in at the back post.

Rafa, pulling out the rope-a-dope tactics?

Wow, nice determined play and a lovely goal from Colback.

Milner never would have gone down so softly when he played for us. Moving to a favoured club gives you that get out of jail card far too frequently. The absolute worst aspect of the game.

Not a chance it would have been given. Shelvey the useless lazy twat would have something to prove against this lot?

Time to sub Tiote out before his exit is non-optional.

Geez, Cisse get that shot off.

The comeback is on!

It was a very good hit, but it was almost like Lascelles was trying to stay out of the way.

That's it now.

Disappointing, we looked really comfortable for the first minute.
