I hope someone, somewhere reminds Danny Murphy that he's an out of touch, miserable git.

Nevermind McGinn I think MacPhee has a shout for the best signing for the money we've ever made. 

These are shit despite us letting them have a go at us. If we sharpen up we can wallop these. Big if.

Not the best start from us. There is currently a huge, Kamara-shaped hole in our build up.

Konsa that was beautiful.

To be honest, there’s only so much you can do against these low blocks in open play. You need a real top talent (KDB, Salah, etc) to break it down. 
 
Where we were particularly wasteful were our corners and set pieces. That’s how City and Arsenal have gotten around low blocks and Dougie’s delivery was subpar and our corners were not threatening. 

This is the key difference between an overachieving team and a team that cements itself as a real top challenger. It's much easier to beat over complacent teams on the break but we have people's attention now so we can expect the dynamic of our matches to shift even more moving forward.

I wish people understood this better, it'd make losing points against the likes of Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United a little easier to stomach. Those lost points aren't embarrassing and it certainly isn't a sign of us going backwards. It's a sign that teams are scared to face us and unfortunately the better we do the worse it'll get.

It's crunch time now and it weeds out the teams that are playing above their station. Thankfully I think we have the team, the manager and the resources to stay where we are.

I don’t think anybody really trusts Heck to do a good job do they? 

I trust our owners to choose the right man for the job. If there's bumps along the way, so be it.

Corrupt.

He's grabbing him by the arm

You and I have very different definitions of 'grabbing'. Oh well, we'll just have to score again.

One hand near his elbow stops a 6ft brick shit house keeper from stepping forward? That is a complete **** joke.

No-ones **** touching him?! Am I seeing things?!

NEVER IN DOUBT.

Ramsey is off the pace again.  

Looked fantastic in the first half.

We better get used to teams parking the bus now that we are consider title contenders.. We need to learn new skill set how to break such team down..

Fan should also get better at supporting us when we're attempting to break down said teams.

An inch or two closer and that's a fantastic chance to score for Ramsey. Stay patient folks.

We're so close. Just need a little bit of luck and the floodgates will open.

Oh ok because we haven’t been ‘successful’ for the past 20 years then we shouldn’t expect to go top of the league against the side that are bottom. Fine ok. Might as well just lose then. 

The top sides win games. If we want to be a top team we need to be beating the sides that are holding up the rest of pack. Comfortably. I saw nothing there half which suggested we would go for the jugular. We just tapped the ball about a lot. 

The majority of the top sides also sit below us in the table. Football is and never has been as black and white as 'we shud win dis gaym'.

The referee successfully ruined that half by allowing them constant fouls to ruin our rhythm. W*nker.

Tbf how dry is this game 

It'd help if the ref wasn't allowing Sheff Utd to kill the game.

How dry is this commentary.

Did he drop his yellow card outside the ground??

Hopefully the crowd hangs in there. The scrappier this game gets and the longer it goes on the more edgy it's going to get. The ref can't allow them to continue with these fouls.

They gonna get a yellow card any time soon Mr Ref?

That bench looks very light

Not to worry. We'll blow them away within 30 minutes.

There isn't.

Personally I don't know why they can't just allow us to levitate above the construction site while the stand is being rebuilt. Tsk. Pathetic from the club.
