As Steven Gerrard said, this is over, we do not let this f**king slip, we go again against Blackburn, get the 3 points there, and we could well be safe
Good to see Solly last the 90mins... Guess he didnt appear against Bolton simply because three games in a week would have been too much but seems to be regaining his fitness.
i know i might be counting my chickens here, but , if we could get a couple of players in, say Ben Marshall from Blackburn and Wood from Leicester (they are gonna want to bolster after promotion) , and with Joe Gomez likely to progress from the yoof, then we could be serious playoff contenders next year - of course, the big assumption is that 1) We survive this year and 2) We keep Poyet,Cousins, and Solly can keep fit.
Posting without reading. Been on the golf course/on the piss all day. Saw the team selection on the match thread at ten to three and gave this one up as a bad job.
I officially know nothing about football and will be asking the waiter at our favourite Chinese restaurant this evening for a large slice of humble pie with ice cream. Moreover I can confirm that I have an impossibly small manhood and wish to be called "Susan" from this day forward. The world has gone officially bonkers. What a fecking result!!!!!!!!!!!
Spent the day at Southend, ropey data signal and got a twitter update at 3.08. Suffice to say the phone went back in my pocket and wasn't checked again till I got back to the car around 4.45. Bloody hell, didn't see that coming in a million years. Was expecting to be greeted by a 5-6 goal defeat.
Massive kudos to Harriot and Sordell who I had basically written off after the Barnsley game.
Someone just texted me to say that we won 3 -2 with a Sordell Hat Trick after being 2 down in the first 10 minutes. You don't expect me to believe that do you!
They really are the most bitter fans haha, quite a lot of fun reading through their forum. On one thread someone's banging on about how WE hate THEM. And can anyone fill me in on 'the chant we sung when coke was on the floor' ?
Missed the match thread today as was out. Amazing result. Glad I missed the drama as I don't think my heart could have stood that. With other results going for us it's a great day. Just need to make sure we finish the job now. It would be great to go to Blackpool knowing we are already safe.
And PLEASE, RD, get the key contracts signed and your cheque book ready for the summer strengthening. This relegation dogfight might be exciting but I would much rather be having kittens sweating on results at the top end of the table!
What a result. Three great finishes from Sordell. Been out and didn't know the team so read the match thread. Some great comments on the first few pages. Have heard shops across SE London have sold out of humble pie. In Jose we trust.
Two-nil down after seven minutes and Riga is shite; he must go. Sixty minutes later, Sordell completes his first-ever hat-trick, and Riga is a tactical genius; he's a hero. Funny old game, Brian. Absolutely bloody brilliant. Surely we are safe now...
Been there, on the train back big grin on face voice fecked. Martin Sordell he scores when he wants. An immense team performance for the last 80 mins. Unmitigated joy!
Got in about 30 mins ago having avoided all football scores, in fact having avoided anything football from about 11 am today. Just read through the Match Thread, expertly covered by @Paddy17 and @SethPlum, heart sank when I read we had gone 2 down so early on, but instead of switching to the Post Match thread I stayed with the match thread and was gobsmacked by the time the final whistle blew!!! Well done to the team, squad, RD, travelling fans etal. GET IN !!! See you all Saturday on here if not at the game.

How did he look today?
If Sordell get's his confidence up to where he was at Watford, this could be very important for us.
"not as happy as me, mate"
Brilliant stuff lads, well done.

Can't believe you bottled it again! First League 1, then the Quarter Final and then being 2-0 up at home in ten mins. Serious bottle...
Hey ho. I always knew deep down you wanted us to survive. Otherwise you wouldn't have two cup finals to look forward to next season.
Much love

Ps-Thanks for the three points, and Marv says thanks for the match ball too.
