Out of interest do you know the other games we've won by 3?

I know that Newcastle 2 seasons ago is there when Barkley scored.

err.. I got the answers here (click on the home link for the whole football world in 31 different countries apparently!)

Thought Jags was great yesterday and marshalled the defence brilliantly and loved the way he shouted to Coleman, 'just tw*t it' as he pointed up the pitch.

Stand corrected, looked down wrong column - maybe it was 3-1 that win at Fulham in recent memory..

We're gonna mess with everyone's heads and register a reasonably comfortable 2-0 win

(Nearly) Told y'all!

This has to be the "penny dropping' moment. When we move the ball at pace to the forwards we score. I don't mean holding it up the park, I mean driving out of defence. We can't go back to taking 25 passes to move the ball 50 yards.
We can vary our play now, invite teams on and hit them on the break; still need the playmaker to open up those teams who will sit back so that we can't use the counter attack. Now that our tails are up bring in the midfielder we need.
Just a thought, maybe Shaqiri is thinking "Why did I pick Stoke"

Did we not beat Arsenal 3-0 at home in Bobby's first season?

Indeed.

I wonder if Jags has felt slighted by all the nonsense about Stones "would learn more playing ten games beside Terry than he would by playing all season alongside Jagielka" bollox?

Maybe Jags's game will improve on foot of this.

Ah, I see.

Where's me coat

I'd love to see that as a vine.

I think you are right.

Mirallas scored a couple.

It is very difficult to 'learn' from Terry when he has always been protected by poor refereeing decisions in his favour. If he was that good a 'mentor' then Cahill would not be the donkey he is.

For our 2nd goal did everyone else think Barkley was going to pass to his left to Cleverly rather than slotting Lukaku through? I was actually surprised.

Yes. He'd have been right to as well, but then Lukaku's blistering acceleration into space must have caught his peripheral vision and he's gone the other way.

Lukaku was a demon there yesterday. Made so much happen.
