On the other end of the Spectprem was the Arsenal vs Newcastle and the Liverpool vs Chelsea games, just recently.
Quality, intense football, usual caveat of "sportsmanship" involved, but still, a great spectacle and 2 games, as a neutral, I didn't want to end.
Despite how easy it is to jump on the, everything about the Premier League is shit, bandwagon, there are still some very intense high quality games that can end up being a televisual feast.
Take the 25% from both, buy a red, convertible, sports car with one and a modest château with the other and you'll still have enough left to be playing pétanque with tes amis in the lazy afternoons.
Just quality, although I bet if this episode was repeated today, a couple of sections would have to be cut, so as not to offend those that would be offended on behalf of overs.
Actually, we need Coventry to lose tomorrow to keep them on 13 points, so with a win we go above them on 14 points and into 3rd place. However, that win would have to be by a better goal difference than Millwall's required win, as they play Coventry and, currently have the same points and GD as us. So, basically, we need to beat their win.
Also, you forgot about West Brom which is understandable. They currently have the same points as us but a better GD by 3. So, whilst a draw or loss is preferable for us to cement our place in 3rd, if they do win (against lowly Norwich) then we would need to beat their result by a 3 goal difference or more because with a better win by 3 goals will mean we have the same goal difference as them, but we will have scored more goals, so will be above them, sitting pretty in 3rd.
And the same actually applies, in principle, with our chances of finishing the day in 2nd. We'd just need to win with a +7 GD, at the very least, as that would take us to the same +5 GD as Sjoke, but we'll have scored more goals.
Also, worth noting that if we were to win by scoring 7 goals we would also end the day as the Championships joint top goal scorers and with 8 or more we would be in first place for goals scored. Don't think us being highest scorers in the Championship is in the Glossary?!
Looking forward to tomorrow's game. I think lessons will have been learned from Saturday there will be a few changes made and we'll be up for it from the get go.
I started the day not overly bothered, thinking it would be over early and I could enjoy watching the highlights later in the day.
So, I went to my local club, played football with my son, whilst following events on BBC text. An early 5 blue lead made me realise the prudence of my decision and then the updates kept coming thick and red!
Still went to the gym only slightly concerned, but half an hour later had to say to my son, right, let's go, it's going off.
So, glad I made it back home in time to watch an incredible sporting spectacle.
Nobody can deny the amazing effort that the US put into the last day and the results they achieved and it's worthy of acknowledgement (not sure the U.S.A. fans would recognise this if we did the same) and what started out as a formality ended up being an edge of seat scenario.
So pleased for Lowry after the 2nd most amount of stick taken this week and that thunder dance on the 18th will live long and be repeated for years to come.
But to think if Henley had made his putt on the 18th...
Mixed emotions, because I don't think he should have been brought on and even less so, made to play in that deeper role, however, as others have said, firstly, that's not his fault and secondly, he's making his way back from a long layoff and just because unicorns are known for their quick and very powerful healing abilities, just because that would not appear to be the case with Freydemort doesn't mean you should hold it against him.
A good squad player, works hard, gives a shite and is a decent back up to KAB.
Had it on in the background throughout the day and have just watched the BBC 90 minute highlights.
Such intensity throughout the day and the fact we came out on top, again, was just a beauty to behold, and whilst nothing has been won yet you couldn't really have asked or expected a better scorecard for the start of play for the 3rd and final day.
Aside from the utterly boorish, that spoil it for the few, it looks to have been a great atmosphere with European fans holding their own.
Justin Rose is a legend, but how did he get to 45 years old so quickly?!
