    Undercover in the home end, didn’t think I’d have to sit through our CB captain overhead kicking one in and a 92nd minute penalty miss to seal the victory, was a huge test of my acting skills I picked up during GCSE drama….

    top performance, Wanted it more than them, and made sweeter by us sticking with the 4 at the back and winning that way!

    Just out of interest, from those who went, what was the stadium like? As bad as people say? Atmosphere from the home fans? Presume it was good from you lot but is it easy to generate a good noise there? 
    Shit and soulless. Sat half way up the upper tier.  Thank goodness I wasn't at the top of it.




    Quite good for kids parties though I think.

    Just seem Nuno's post match press conference where he confirmed that Taty is the designated penalty taker this season. 

    Or was. Might now be a discussion. 😂
  • Sat with the IRONS, on my hands and wasn’t found out until 93rd minute when that Pen was missed. Probably filming out celebrations gave it away….COYA !

    Our starting 11 cost £0.5m. Does anyone know how much theirs cost?

    The thing about Miles and TC is their attributes suggest they are going to be top players. It can sometimes be about small details, luck with injuries, confidence etc... but they have always had it in them. Campbell was the best player on the pitch today, closely followed by Miles. It was a shame their keeper made a good stop from TC's cross in the second half as it stopped a MIles tap in which would have been well deserved.
    This is why people have to look beyond goals and assists as their only way of rating players. TC's and Leaburn's underlying numbers were strong last season. TC was among the top players in the league for big chances created and successful dribbles, and Leaburn in the 95th percentile for aerial duels won. If players keep being successful at that stuff time and time again, the goals and assists will eventually come. And at their age they will continue to get better.

    Awful. Reminded me of the rusty den 😉

    If Carlsberg did away days.

    TC and Leaburn fantastic.

    It added to the excitement, and stress, that West Ham had the opportunity to snatch a draw at the death and blew it! As much as a clean sheet would have been great, the match as it played out was just brilliant.

    So wonder if Taty the cheating twat, will get a retrospective ban for blatantly cheating like the West Brom lad, surely a worse act wasn’t it?

    Days like this, there or not, especially there make a lot of the Hartlepools, Scunthorpes, Fleetwoods, Chesterfields, Hulls, think of anywhere else we have not turned up to. 

    Its why we do it 

    Defended very well, the handball was one that I'd be screaming for if it was for us, angry against 

    Countered brilliantly 

    Come on you reds!

    Have we ever won a regular league game in front of a larger crowd in our history?

    Hope the club got a photo of the Academy 5 pitch side after the game. Stick it up at the training ground where all the parents and young players can see it. Might stop some of our talent jumping ship until we get Cat 1. Well done all Valley Gold subscribers. There’s more to Valley Gold than all the match ticket jibber jabber.

    Warning - a bit sweary!

    View is awful from up the top, genuinely difficult to work out who was who sometimes when the ball was down the other end, also never been to a ground where the sign at the bar just says "Cold Beer" !!!

    Fair enough.


    If we ended the season here, I wouldn’t be upset.

    "Even under Moysey, when we were dog shit" 

    The manager who won them a European trophy....honestly never minded West Ham but that is delusion as it's finest 🤣

    Hilarious. 
  • Didn't go and couldn't watch it so I have no right to comment other than to say - fantastic win - well done the lads and NJ.
    Great start to the season and bodes well for a comfortable mid table finish.
    Now lets go and give Spurs a bloody nose!
