Actually made it home in reasonable time tonight!!!
Yep, that's the highlight of my evening, although the seats in 101 are comfy and have cup holders.
The match?!? Fucking awful... again.
That's 3 times this season I have witnessed Sissoko in the flesh and I cannot get my head around why he is selected.
There was too much fannying around with the ball by the midfielders. Probably the best chance we had before the goal was a long ball over the top which Son nearly latched onto.
There's nothing wrong with mixing the game up a bit, but it seems the players want multiple touches and to play that magical little ball through - it doesn't work!!
I've spent about £200 so far this season on tickets and travel, and I've seen nothing to entice me back any time soon.

I spent the first half in block 123. With tourists and some Tottenham fans. To the left of me you could hear the park lane sing stand up if you hate arsenal twice and everyone around me was sat down. They only clapped and to my right you could hear Barnsley making all the noise in the stadium. Ruined my night felt depressed Second half I walked around to group of Tottenham fans who was making all the noise, and walked past the Stewart’s and stood up singing for the whole of the second half made my night
Because we haven't won a trophy since 2008.

Wont allow me to see it in Canada
Not scapegoating. Goals or not, Ali has not been playing to the standard that we saw a year ago imo. Fancy flicks that work once in every ten attempts, tipping over when challenged are some of the things that wind me up. When he goes over and its genuine, he should play to the whistle and not sit down with hands in the air instead of jumping up and try to win back the ball. That nearly cost us a goal against Swansea.

My highlight of tonight was Walker-Peters being fouled for the umpteenth time by a Barnsley forward trying to pressure him, the Barnsley player complaining about conceding the free kick and accusing KWP of diving, only to hear the bloke behind me shout "Leave him alone, he's only little!"

Don't get your hate toward Sissoko, he was better than winks or Dembele tonight. Played very decent.
Wanted more from Winksy, very safe tonight.

Agreed I was in 124 and it was dead. Crowd seem shy.

Because winning is a habit and we have to start winning trophies. With the exception of Blackburn and Leicester every team who's won the PL has won a domestic cup BEFORE they won the PL

Only the beginning. Apparently the geopolitical world is starting to see you for the danger that you are. The N Korea of N America I always say.

I think it's a combination of things. We always have started slow under Poch. Not surprising it's happened again. The atmosphere is also shit at Wembley. It's almost like we have to play 38 away matches in the league this year. I'm also sure part of it is mental. Players have to start to wonder after the 80th minute or so against a team like Swansea if there is something to this "curse" thing. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I think most of this stuff will get ironed out and we'll look more like ourselves around about December though. I only hope we can get through this and make the CL knockout stages by the time we turn it on this year.
