Yeah I did and I thought we was sloppy with the ball and giving it away far too cheaply. They didn't do much at the very beginning, but they got more and more into it and start getting closer and closer.

I will watch it again, though :)

As it was such a great win :)

The worst culprit being Capoue; I'd say barely half his passes went to a team-mate. Bentaleb's passing was far more accurate. But according to you, that was an inexplicable substitution.

I would have gone for two DM's in CM and tried to win the ball back higher up the pitch and actually start to pin them back. That is what I would have gone for.

And if we'd had Sandro and Paulinho (who isn't a DM, but an effective ball-winner) available, we might have done. But we didn't. So we couldn't.

Fantastic result! COYS

Have just spent the last hour reading tweets about Harry Kane and his hoof into the crowd, proper comedy that was!

That was actually a very intelligent comedy directed by Kane, and now I'm absolutely serious. It required quick thinking and a criminal mind that even a lawyer would have been pride of. I wish he was my son.

Not sure what to make of that Young penalty shout. Young had shot before there was contact, but he was caught. BT commentators did not think it was a penalty, MOTD did.

Anyone think that Ade was just knack erred and thought if he went off on a stretcher it would give us some time to re group? One of my mates said it looked like he was taking the piss just using it to get to the dressing room.....

Tim said he had ice all over him, so presuming he was exhausted and ached all over.

I congratulate the team on picking themselves up after losing 6-0 and 5-0 within a month. I especially congratulate the supporters who went to Manchester to cheer them on. As a matter of curiosity, has there ever been a team with 37 points after 20 games who had a negative goal difference?

They're both right. According to the rules it is a penalty, according to customary practice it is not.

It was clearly exaggeration to make a point, display a tiny bit of humour whilst telling Ade how hard he worked out there and that it's appreciated.

Guy must be knackered. Tranining is all well and good but match fitness is another thing and he's played 3 or 4 games in quick succession after months of inactivity. Please please please keep it up Ade because you're one of the very best players in the league when you're on your game.

Can you explain that further? If it's a penalty according to the rules, then it's a penalty. I think that the reason they weren't given it was that in real time the contact may not have been obvious, he'd already passed the ball and so Webb may have started to look away, and it was Ashley Young.
