I’m getting the kettle on, getting me a nice cup of tea and a few biscuits, then I am deep diving that little beauty.

I just watched their game on MOTD. They flashed up a graphic afterwards noting that today was the latest a team has come back from two down to win since the PL started. It’s an absolutely hilarious collapse. Lovely viewing.

Seems like a stat that we have to have previous in. Mickey Adams never saw a lead he couldn’t squander.

Saw some horrid stuff under Micky, didn’t we?

The Wolves one was bad but for some reason the Middlesbrough the following week seemed the real ****er.

It was several months later.
So many leads squandered, which were all then trumped by the Spurs home game a couple of seasons ago.

You're right, although a bit OTT with the "several" part, it was just shy of three months after. For some reason they seemed close together. Bad memories often seem to transcend the space-time continuum for me.

That’s the time zone difference, Joe_.

So obvious that would be the case. Their arrogant, stubborn manager is sticking with his same possession based system which *shock horror* doesn’t work as well without one of the best set of players in the league.

I've seen that approach somewhere else before.

On the other side of that particular coin, I love how Brentford play the game. They’re so effective and you can tell the Whole team and fanbase are in it together.
That’s what I hope / see as the model for us.

We should have got Frank in a while ago tbh.
If Cooper can keep us up this season and next we should replace him with Frank who would make us a solid PL team at worst.

I have never been so angry at a game of football as that Middlesbrough game.

Thanks for keeping us up against the odds in consecutive seasons, Mr Cooper. Here, take your P45.
