Cold Parmo can’t buy a goal, long may it continue

 

[Steer]

That was dreadful against these Sunday league players. Carrick Out.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Has everyone calmed down after Glover's party piece?

I'm still running around the house after the goal.

Nervy first half from us, they've missed a few sitters and yet we're 1-0 up.

Long long way to go yet though.

 

[Chutney]

That's a scary line up. Cole Palmer particularly worries me.

This aged well.

To be honest his first half makes me even more worried about him second 45.

Funny game football. Played better against Aston Villa.

Was giving Barlaser his props for the ball to Jones for the goal, then in a 5 minute period lost the ball twice in his own half. I'll have to go back to saying he's gash

also like to point out that palmer is having a mare purely down to me making him captain in FPL this week

no , it was down to me calling him Carlton just before kick off

Steady on you might want to save some energy for a "celebration" later

I think Carrick should encourage him to play some more balls over the top for Jones and Coburn

Lots of Boro players guilty of that but think Howson has been the worst culprit.

Shame Lath went off so early, think we could do with his pace up top.

Cold Parmo

Ok, fair play

nah, he forgot to say its also date night , and his Mrs is doing the chasing

I did call his inclusion in the 11 earlier in the day. His injury totally scuppered our tactical approach

Looking at that photo, with him leading with his studs, could it have been a red?

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

These 2 at half time talking *****…???

 

[Merrykoala]

I heard Gibbo went and bought some pegs of an old Gypsy woman in the car park after Bangura went off.

Best deal of the window if true

 

[SydneyRed]

Same again second half….hopefully grab another and 2-0 for the second battle of stamford bridge. Party like it’s 88.

Howson has given the ball away 4/5 times - so not sure how Barlaser is singled out

Shame Coburn hasn't got a tiny bit more acceleration because he plays on the shoulder well. He's been close to getting in behind a couple of times tonight but just doesn't have the pace.
