"sheff u easy best team in the league." "The only positive is it keeps Burnley out of the top two." "First time anyone has done the double over us.Hopefully the last team to do it." "This performance has highlighted the tremendous improvement Heckingbottom has made. We have matched a top side...

Third??
Thanks Roy. Not sure about owt really due to attending a beer festival before the game! We won, but utterly unconvinced about how we play.
If I hadn't had to stand I may have nodded off!!
 
first time anyone has done the double over them? or do they mean us? even then is that true?
thank you Roygbiv
 
Very reasonable comments although I do take exception with 'The ref gave us nowt'. Fucking hell, every time our colossus Callum O'Hare breathed on one of their 6 foot plus defenders they collapsed and got a free kick. There were at least two occasions that I remember where the defender simply fell down and we got penalised. Not saying the ref was great or terrible, but a homer he definitely wasn't.
 
Obviously referring to this season because they held Leeds to a 1-1 and held Sunderland and Burnley both to 0-0 draws at their place. Obviously we licked em 2-0 at their place prior to today.
 
The ref game ‘em nowt - not even a telling off for the keeper who wasted time from the second he came out of the tunnel.

Greenwood could have should have probably had 2 yellows, a couple more should have been carded for them… it was a bit tedious. Ref wasn’t great but I think there was genuine intent to keep the game flowing.

I thought the ref had a decent game, kept it flowing and was fairly balanced until he bottled sending off greenwood, then he went to shit and blew up every single niggly foul for 15 minutes and killed the game.
 
Fair comments on the whole. Personally I thought Preston were possibly the worst team to come to the Lane this season. Their attitude from the start was far too negative. Unlucky with the one that hit the post but we really should have been 4-0 up by then.

I reckon they'd have got the penalty if they hadn't spent the entirety of the game before that just falling over. And doing it so unconvincingly.
 
Thanks Roy. All mostly reasonable comments, and yes, we weren't that great today but so what? At this point of the season it's another 3 points and we're still up there, so I'll take it.
 
Roygbiv dont mean to sound like a whinging bastard, but what's going on lately with your site?

I've absolutely no idea. I've not changed anything but a few have said the same. I keep meaning to look into but I'm out of my depth with it all to be honest. I'll try and have a proper look during the international break but I've not actually changed anything from my side of things. I can only apologise for it.

Oh mate, nothing to apologize for at all. I get why the ads are there, hosting isn't free, but they did seem a little excessive.

I could always just use firefox and an ad blocker, but do like disable it for content I like to support. Maybe there's a happy medium somewhere?

They are quite lucky some of their players didn't see more yellow cards.

I will definitely look into it. It's not something I've consciously tried to do so would like to sort it out
 
There's as many comments as they had supporters there today. It's great that every single one of them took time out from their busy schedules to comment.
