[Tolmie scores]

But equally, a repeat of the sort of defending that has typified our recent results. Carved open with single passes leading to goals in almost every game this season, including the ones we won.

I think we need to be pragmatic v Brighton..we always go 100% to score in first 15 mins - get carved - one down in first ten minutes nearly EVERY game...can't afford that v Brighton. I would be happier 0 - 0 after 70 mins and go from there

It used to be played a lot at Alkrington Youth Club which I used to go to @ 1969/1971.
So yes pal, it is certainly going back in time a bit.

Always thought that was a weird place

The score line was a bit weird as we should have been 2 up in first half - second half we looked a team on last legs - lot of players struggling with injuries - arguably 8 x proper first team starters out even before we kicked off. Young academy lad debut..at centre Half ..away...v Sporting ..in chumps league game with 60,000 vocal partisan crowd... big ask...all of that and some debatable effort and tactics - got what we deserved in the end - you will beat them. They will be manager less too effectively - oh yes last hurrah for the manager the club loves - only gonna end one way. I wouldn't read too much into that game. As i said, you will beat them

Yeah, Arsenal should beat them.
They hammered us but didn't really impress me much, weird saying that ha

A look at the stats will answer your question.
A freak result that was topped off by some nomark ref giving penalties out like they were confetti

Including the one given to us!

Should be a red. Out of his box, on the pitch and interfering with play.

According to UCL / UEFA criteria its was handball maybe the PL criteria is different but that is irrelevant The one against Arseanal was the same

That assumes we're capable of playing that way. With a half fit squad.

I think justice was served on our penalty.
