Hate the Black kit

Racist.

[Villa in Denmark]

Well this is looking promising. Not.

Derby winning

[jwarry]

Boro with more possession but you would expect that with them at home. Only concern so far is giving the ball away cheaply  again

Pulisball v Bruceball what a holiday treat this should be.

1-0 Gestede 89.  Cattermole to go off crying.

[adrenachrome]

Leadbitter has put the smack down on Albert. A reducer, if you will.

[Villa in Denmark]

Disgraceful challenge by Leadbitter on Onomah there. Leading with his elbow.

It's a dream for every neutral fan on the planet

Looked a bit of a nasty one on Josh.

[Villa in Denmark]

Fuck off Snodgrass. What a waste.

[Ozzjim]

That was a red card. Typical Pulis tactic.

[jwarry]

At least we had a shot

[Pete3206]

Why do we let Snodgrass take free kicks?

[andyh]

For those watching, can you tell us if we look more fired up than in midweek?
Are we showing the promised increased effort, quality and desire?
