Another win for the glorious VT!
It was a disappointingly even first half. Swansea looked much more dangerous. No goal threat from us, as usual - The standard slow, sideways shite from us. Koscielny made a ludicrous and suicidal backpass header, but got away with it. Hollywood made an absolute cúnt of a rare attack on the half hour. It did not look like a side fighting for the VT against a side fighting relegation.
Thank fuck we finally scored. Though it was a bit of a farce with Giroud wanted to be taken off, then left on, then he changed his mind. It was ridiculous that they wanted to bring Chamberlain on instead of Welbeck. If ever there was a time to play Welbeck in his preferred position up front, FFS!
I had thought the ref gave the penalty for the Ki dive. Thank fuck he booked Ki instead. There was some contact from the sometimes gormless Koscielny not getting his leg away in time, but Ki was looking for the foul.
We finally woke up properly for the second half though, with some threat on their goal at last. Glad we got the second goal; a fortunate deflection. It was a bit of a joke that TOF subbed Giroud on 60 minutes anyway; if he was injured after the goal, they should have taken him off then or at HT! He already broke his 70 minutes rule
Nice to have them score another goal for us; from an ex-scum player at that! It made a nice and welcome change to finally kill a game with a chunk of it to go. I could finally enjoy the game
Funny to see that Clement had the same 70 minute rule for subs, I'm sure TOF will make a copyright claim there
I was glad to see Sanchez (FUCKING PAY HIM!) score again. He took advantage of Hollywood fucking up again. His body language was very worrying when he was subbed and afterwards though. Had a right sulk. The subs were logical, if made typically too late to make much difference.
