Wonderful,adds to my belief and optimism.My only disagreement is that Dougie was badly missed.It was a set-up that said we'll outscore you.We were way too open and an extra midfielder like Luiz would have addressed that and we would still have had enough firepower to bury Bournemouth.

The club Facebook page also says 3 wins in 8 days. I suppose we did win a tie.

The match was essentially a draw but we progressed in the most winningest way possible.

Is SUE a genuine candidate for Manager of the year as what he has achieved even to this point is nothing short of miraculous.

No doubt Bingo or Cheaty Pep will get it.

Another great read Dave

Bingo will get it if they win the title/League Cup double. Pep might get it if they do the double. Mister Emery will only get the sniff if he wins something.

Cant see Liverpool winning the league as i genuinely think we will beat them and Pep well enough has been said about the 115 charges against his lot.

It was mentioned a couple of times early in the season when rent a quote crocodile Dundee was flavour of the month.

In the face of adversity with injuries etc what our guy has done is nothing short of a miracle - when did we join the top 4 race? only falling out once in that time?

MOTD candidates 'Pep' and 'Jurgen Klopp'

4th and a Trophy should be a shoo in for MOTY. Not even like last year where there were a few worthy mentions O'Neil, Frank, De Zerbi. Moyes for the trophy even Howe. None from the pack have over achieved. Edwards if he keeps them up possibly.

Of course - who can remember Jug ears opening the reign of SUE with a hearty "Good Ebening"

Cnuts the lot of them on MOTD (apart from Shearer)
