I find I have to scroll through masses of them to find peoples' comments and opinions on the game which is primarily what I want from these threads. 

Agreed.

We have a Gallery for just such an emergency: http://www.theshedend.com/gallery/

Agree, it would be good to have a Photos/Videos/Media thread for each game with the interviews, highlights, player highlights and matchday photos in it

Great save from Tbo at the end to get us the 3 points, that's what having a world class keeper gets you.

 

On a completely unrelated note if he was to ever leave for Madrid i'd definitely want us to look at this Pickford lad, looks class and he's only 22!

If we beat Palace this weekend and Arsenal and City draw we will have 8 points on Arsenal and 9 on city, Liverpool have an away derby as well, these should win games are must win if we want to take this title charge by the horns. 

Me I just concern my self with our result can't be bothered with, if this was that & that was this, we carry on in this vein no one will be able to touch us. COYB

I agree to keep the blinkers on and push forward focus on our own race but you have to know whats going on around you, rivals win, boys need to step up, rivals lose motivation to blow them away, competition breeds performance in the elite, it's necessary. 

Agree with the suggestion on photos, very difficult when on a slow link. Looking at them from a link is preferable. No problem if it's one or two.

Great result, Courtois showing how much he has improved, that last save was more difficult then the Henderson shot that flew past him at the Bridge.

Yes we can have a match thread, photo's of match thread, & man of match thread,  perhaps when we get really vocal at games, we can have a, chant of match thread,

the possibilitys are endless.

Everyone's happy we won but if you become complacent in those low scoring wins those wins turn into draws, and the draws turn into losses.

We havnt looked convincing since the everton game but we have managed to get the results, lets hope we can regroup and start blowing teams away again.

That's not gonna happen. Even the everton game was a one off and not a regular occurrence. This is a tough league not some tinpot league where Barcelona wins 6-0 every week

Alternatively, people posting them could put them in spoiler tags, allowing anyone reading the thread to hide them, but without necessitating an entirely new thread.

The photos don't bother me, probs becasue im viewing on a desktop and not a small phone/tablet screen., Ploks idea is the way around this.........@Charles Ryder

Duly noted. Spoiler tags seem best as .jpg links are automatically embedded as pics.

Another great result. Wasn't an easy game but we deserved the win and could have won by more than a single goal.

Courtois' save at the end was phenomenal, which really demonstrated his world class talent and shows how much he's progressed in the last year. For that alone, I'd give him the MOTM award.

I'm still pinching myself by how this season is playing out. Not even a hardcore optimist could have predicted we'd been six points clear halfway through December after our 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in late September.

That was so poor from Alonso

Bradley Lowery went with the angels today at 13:35 at the age of six. He had been in a lot of pain for the past three months. 

I'm proud of our club for bringing him happiness and special memories for his last Christmas. The family was very touched by the love shown by our players.
