Good read Tony.

May I also add to what you have said about that last minute winner. It was also the goal that took us to 35 goals scored this season. 1 more than the 34 we achieved in the PL all last season.

Whilst the league is a marathon and not a sprint - I keep finding things that put a spring in my step that tells me that the new era is probably as good as anyone could have hoped for us to start off with.

I, for one, never thought we'd be 5 points clear at the beginning of November. I was happy enough with mid-table and watching some exciting free-flowing football, given that it's a new manager, near enough new squad, ethos and style. I can't get over how quickly most things have jelled. Yeah, it's early days and who knows where we'll be in May, but one thing is for sure, it's not dull.

Those final 10 minutes or so will live with me for a long time to come.

Might explain the timewasting by their keeper 😉

Halil sounds an intelligent and grounded lad from the sounds of his interview. Classy player as well if you ask me.

It might be a little premature to describe him as classy, but he's certainly a better option than Barnes.

An offside effort and an extravagant one that went nowhere near is hardly going to change my opinion of him.

I noticed lots of Turkish twitter accounts making mention of the match and the goal. Obviously fairly well known there.
