Agree with many on here that it wasn't exactly a convincing performance - like two bald men fighting over a comb to steal someone else's gag. Up until the second I was fully expecting a Wednesday equalizer and a subsequent meltdown of the fanbase, me included.
Re: Kolli, I get that he gave the ball away a couple of times and had a couple of half chances before scoring, but the one he hit on the turn in the box that ended up in the upper loft I actually applauded. He had no time or space but instinctively managed to turn and shoot - the execution was slightly off but on another day that at least troubles the keeper out of nothing. I like his energy and his two goals were great to see - proper strikers finishes. With Burrell injured it's going to be interesting to see what he can do alongside Kone (assuming Kone stays fit and in the side). Good to see Kolli back from the wilderness |

Only based on one game, but I thought Gary Cahill was a cut above playing for Bournemouth against us at Christmas 3 (4?) years ago. He took a load of stick from the crowd as you might expect being ex Chelsea, but he rode above it all and gave a masterclass in how to play the sweeper role in a flat back 4. I had to begrudgingly respect his performance in a 1-0 win for them (Solanki scored to add t0 the Chelsea connection) |

have to agree with all of that. You'd think we'd learn wouldn't you? After the Leicester win I was more than hopeful of us possibly straying into the play off positions and even staying there for a bit.
But of course, no. And I should know better. I'm more hacked off about this 'performance' than any I can remember for a good while (home v Blackburn under Ainsworth perhaps the exception). This bloody club - they trick you into momentarily believing, hoping, and then of course those hopes are mercilessly dashed.
Really excited for tomorrow now.  |

Thanks for another great preview Clive and as others have said, for another great year of writing about our beloved club.
I have never seen us beat Norwich, starting with that fateful away game in 1976 (from which I cried in the back of my dad's car all the way back to London).
I have a sneaking suspicion today could be the day. Crap as we were against West Brom, I think we're gonna turn it on today and win by a good margin. URRRRRRs! |

been done to death on here before as to what our ambitions should be. Would be great to get some success, but if we did somehow manage to go up via the playoffs, next season in the Prem would be grim.
I'd take a top 10 finish (should be achievable) and a run to the quarters of the FA Cup (yeah, In know.....) |

Ethan Laird worth a shout I'd say.
Although only loans I'd also add Loci Remy and Eduardo Vargas into the mix. Had high hopes for Vargas for a (short) while |

Although I went to a few games in 75/76 I was too young to remember them clearly. Quality of football-wise, the period when Ray Wilkins was running the midfield with a young, raw Les up front was a delight.
In terms of particular games, I'd put the 3-0 away to Everton right up there. Bradley Allen got a hat trick and we were simply untouchable that day |

Blackburn at home under Ainsworth is the worst I can remember in my 50 years of going to Loftus Road. It was so bad I swore I was never coming back while he was still in charge. Fortunately I didn't need to wait too long |

Have to agree with you here. I was at Villa Park for our League Cup game against them in the main stand with a Villa supporting mate, maybe 95/96?
Hateley came on as a sub if I recall correctly. Someone played a ball over the top, I shouted "Hateley's gone"
Turned out he had.
My Villa mate couldn't stop laughing.
That said, I'd put Bosingwa top of the most hated list. Closely followed by Barton. Absolute helmets the pair of them [Post edited 15 Dec 2025 16:38]

It's all redeemable though isn't it? Just look at Andy Sinton. Loved. Hated. Loved again.
Personally, I'll give Cifuentes a warm reception - he inherited a basket case and turned it into, well, something less of a basket case |

sorry if this one already mentioned but Charlie Austin v West Brom - I think in 2021?
scored a header in the 89th minute to win it 1-0. This was the first season I started taking my daughter and we absolutely loved it. Even better that it was clearly offside :) |

I was at that one with my brother who is, shockingly, a Chelsea fan. I wanted to leave at half time but he made me stay.

One of your very best Clive, and that is saying something. I've read it 3 times already and will do so again. So many great lines in there, and a nice nod to the Chili Peppers I believe.
It's worth it isn't it? All the sh*te we have to suffer? It's worth it for nights like this.
The last two lines, worthy of the great Sid Waddell himself.
An absolute belter of a report. Thank you |
