Well that was a terrible game.

Geez, terrible miss for Gayle.

Nice bit of revenge from Andy Carroll. To be fair to him, had his eyes on the ball the whole time

Due to the nefarious origins of the thread poster, what became the original match thread has been unfrotunately destroyed. So that this important piece of the rich tapestry that forms our history is not lost to the annals of time I have elected myself as the chronicler, and will thusly record the thread as I recall it. Joelinton is shit. We too are mostly quite shit, but definitely nowhere near as shit as Joelinton. Can you believe we won despite our aforementioned shittiness? Oh shit is ASM seriously injured? Fuck. We'll be needing these points.

Bruce set piece special! Great hit Shelvey.

He's got the slowest feet of any Brazilian.... just doesn't seem a natural footballer.

The celebration showed that Almiron had been sweating any sort of meaningful contribution up front and the rest of them knew it and were well happy for him as well.

At least we have St Maximin's dribbling to fall back on for entertainment. Hang on a moment! We're back baby!

A tad unlucky there, though somewhat inevitable.

They've certainly never played well together.

Two good bits of lead up play culminating in terrible crosses from him.

Really excited for this one. It's on at 11:30PM here. Which means I don't need to be up at 2AM to witness how shite we are.

He definitely brings an energy into the team. Hope he can continue to do that, and of course start scoring too.

After their goal we were clearly the better side. Deserved victory, there was some excellent effort out there including the most aggressive and coordinated closing down I've seen from us in a long time.

If Carroll didn't have a caveman skull that could have caused some serious damage. When they were cracking down on that sort of thing last season I wouldn't have been surprised for a red card to be shown.
