Every time there's been a clash of heads it seems to be friendly fire on our own players!

In Spain sitting in a bar with a Brentford fan. Can I get cocky or does it look likely to all change. He does say they are good but can’t score....

63' It's a short routine, comes to nothing and Phillips makes the catch. #cafc 1 #bfc 0

If you get cocky you'll jinx us. Humble now and then get ridiculously over excited if we hold out to win.

Never ever get cocky when we are a goal up.

I like Boro

Match being played in our half, in and around our box.

The only saving grace is that once it gets in our box we're defending stoutly: thou shalt not pass!

All set up for a counter-attack second goal ...
