I see Brighton are bellyaching about our second but I can't see why?

That Southampton game in 05 was my lads first ever away game as a six year old. He thought every away game would be like that..

Sadly you Can't Control them.

Offside is the only thing I could possibly think of?

Not saying it was offside, I just cannot see anything else they could whinge about.

Their first shouldn't have been a corner and then Bizot was fouled. Their second was a lucky own goal. Their third was a good strike.

We just found a way to win, 4 good goals (one v scrappy one) inside the box.

We're on fire. We're 4 points clear of 5th and a win on Saturday puts us 3 points off top spot.

Bizot was ropey for the first one, he messed-up.

He certainly did!

I've definitely seen some moaning about how long after the 6 added minutes it was. I don't even think it was that much after.

Ah right. Well boo-hoo, you rock-chomping, deckchair-adorners.

He got a judge just as he was jumping. But he should have been stronger too. I forgive him after that save at the end though.

Their guy punched the ball just before it. They might be best focusing on how Rogers ball took out three of their centre backs.

Looking back we absolutely destroyed them at set piece time.

We got really physical 2nd half, won it back countless times, that was really good to see.
Yes, I thought that was significant and not always something we have seen from this group. It's a sign, perhaps, of a growing belief in what this season could bring .

It feels like teams come from 0-2 down quite regularly, especially if you're from Manchester and are playing a Birmingham team. I was trying to think the last time we come from 0-2 down, I was at Southampton in 05, surely not???

Southampton was the last time we did it away. It was Everton last season at home in the League. And PSG in the Champs league.

Was it that long ago for Soton? I should know, I won £1500 on that game. A very, very rare betting win.

Brighton fans are having a meltdown about us on sm. Apparently we are diving whinging cheats who influenced the ref to give everything in our favour which is quite a coincidence because that's exactly how I described them on our WhatsApp group last night. But obviously I'm right and they're wrong. I challenged one of them about their first goal not being a corner and he said "that's football sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong" I didn't reply I just left him to consider that he might just be using double standards in his argument. Oh and they have a strange hatred for Unai Emery. God knows why as he hardly ever complains about wrong decisions and I've always found him to be a likeable chap even when he was at Arsenal.b
