That was an ice cold penalty from Benteke.

I was sure he was going to miss.

Absolutely superb penalty, to take a penalty like that in the circumstaances in the game/season takes a huge amount of self confidence.

Wow. I had forgotten what it felt like to win.

Thank you big man. Thank you boys. Thank you McGrath!!!!

Gabby to score first, us to win 2-1. 66-1
Have I just blown a tenner? Probably.
I'm praying that the law of Derby Gabby comes into play and he'll turn up today.

Somebody even happier than the rest of us.

Wow.

Stan is on the post match stuff on BT.

Northampton and Walsall also won.   Good omen....

[Risso]

What a rollercoaster of emotions.  From being utterly pissed off that we'd chucked away two points, to the sheer joy of getting the penalty, to then being convinced we'd miss it, to the unbelievable elation of it going in.  Fuck me.

Brilliant! Had to keep tabs on the score via text as out to a business dinner and could barely contain myself when the winner went in!

Wow.

To be fair given Gabby's record against them and the fact any win we got would be very tight, and we were unlikely to keep a clean sheet, a 66-1 was pretty generous.

[Risso]

Awesome, congrats Supertom!

[PaulWinch again]

As an aside I hate it when the players celebrate getting a pen before scoring it.

[hilts_coolerking]

I'm feeling a bit pissed off that I haven't got 660 quid now.

[Stu]

The relief. Oh, the relief. I'm betting that the loud-mouth stripey that gets the same bus as me in the morning gives me a wide birth tomorrow. Ironically, but understandably, on the only morning that I want to bump into him.

If Carlsberg did derby day wins........
