Really good second half especially after going behind . Have to say I was doubtful about Townsend and Gray but both are proving me wrong . On a different note referee was terrible tonight, Richy was targeted from the start with some terrible tackles going unpunished.

The post match interview from Rafa should have everyone on board. Professional, funny, driven and so much more different than Koeman, silva, Ancelotti.

{Ed025's Note - i just hope the doubters and nay sayers have plenty of custard with that humble pie they are eating smit.. :)

Good win, last year we would have crumbled after going 1-0 down. I thought that we were better balanced when Gomes came on, before that we were too defensive, we need flair players in the middle. I hope that James is given a chance at some time.

{Ed025's Note - rafa tried something different and it never worked mike, but he had the balls to realise the mistake and changed it, thats the sign of a good manager mate..

Hear hear Ed. Early days but what a breath of fresh air. Never gives up, always coaching through the game and never satisfied.

{Ed025's Note - if he had some dosh we would be even better smit, proper manager and coach mate..

We are still to see him yet against some top teams Ed25 but I think Rafa is looking more and more like the medicine we have needed for the last few seasons. Not jumping the gun but it’s could be a good season this year. It was this sort of game we lost last year so already looking up.

Only 32 points from safety!

{Ed025's Note - we will have our share of losses BR but not too many i hope, two hard games against villa and utd in the next few weeks will show us where we are really and its how we deal with them mate..

Very true Ed25. Let’s keep racking those points up and hope that when we don’t win, the anti-Rafa brigade don’t surface.

{Ed025's Note - yeah thats a worry BR, but if we get the commitment and fortitude that we have shown up to now surely no one can complain mate..
