Not to mention, he's got us a famous fan in Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day!

I never thought I'd be saying this, particularly in a derby, but the ref was very good last night.

I don't think I've ever felt so calm before and during a derby as I did today. It was so strange. Usually beforehand I'm a mess and just want it over with, but I felt no stress at all during the day. Then during I'm usually on verge of a heart attack but I felt really calm. A lot of that was down to the players because they were brilliant. We were the better side all over the pitch. That's not to say the shite didn't have chances, of course they're going to, but when they did we had our keeper their doing his job perfectly.
I'm so proud of every single player tonight because each and every one of them performed to their optimum and gave everything they had to get that win. It wasn't a lucky win, it wasn't handed to us, we went out there and we won that game for ourselves and fucking deserved it.
 
Pickford - What a keeper he is. Made some vital saves and also kept everyone calm when we were under pressure.
Godfrey - His drifting infield caused me a bit of worry but on the whole a brilliant performance and that clearance off the toe of a shite player was key to the victory.
Tarkowski - Glad to see he'd got rid of the clogs tonight! Absolutely rock solid.
Branthwaite - He's some player, isn't he? I loved watching him tonight. So calm and composed and just dealt with everything that was thrown at him impeccably. Nice to see him get another goal too.
Mykolenko - I hope his injury isn't too serious (I'd be surprised to see him play on Saturday though) because he was having another solid game until he had to go off.
Harrison - I wish he'd have a bit more willingness to take on his man but tonight he was much more like the Harrison that impressed for Leeds. Pressed, helped out defensively, used the ball well.
Gana - I honestly don't know where he gets the energy but he was absolutely everywhere, from the first whistle until he was subbed off. I was amazed tbh. My MOTM.
Garner - It felt like he didn't actually touch the ball all that often (probably wasn't the case) but he was so disciplined in where he was on the pitch, which was needed while Gana went hunting.
McNeil - His deliveries were fucking fantastic tonight. We've let ourselves down in that department in recent weeks but they were so dangerous from him tonight. He put it on a plate for Dom to power home his header. His work rate was right up there as well - just kept going and going and going.
Doucoure - He's still not at the level he was before his injury but he's getting there. We still got the misplaced passes but we also got the pure effort and graft that we've come to love.
DCL - Our number 9 played like a proper number 9. I thought he bullied the shites CB's all game and gave them a torrid time. He just worked, worked, worked and I'm so pleased that his efforts were rewarded with scoring the goal that sealed the win and could get the adulation from the Gwladys Street End like he deserved.

We dancing!!!

We dancing!!!

Got to say Pickford was fucking amazing tonight too.

my god ashley young hahahaha

Is that real? Are we pretty much safe, 8 points clear, with 4 games to go? Did we just send Klopp off with the best goodbye? Did we keep a clean sheet against them and not get fucked by VAR?
I really don't know what to make of all that, I need to go lie down...

That’s the 70 mil version right there

Considering we don't have emerging talent it must've been a redundant job anyway .

As always, whenever goodisonnews.com writes a story, I immediately ignore it. That site is bonkers and written by fans of other clubs.

Forest up 3:0 now with a goal in stoppage time in the 1st half. 

Shocked that wasn’t a yellow on Beto 

Bring Simms on, forgot we gave him away 😄

No clue how we turn this around but hope the boys in blue find a way.

And Godfrey still remains…

Dyche simply must get Godfrey off now.  Cannot wait another 25 minutes.  And cannot start him again.
And cannot wait to get DCL on.  Now.

Yes, both, horrible defending by Tarkowski and Godfrey.

Godfrey off for Patto at halftime. Stinker of a game from him 

What's happened to Garners corners? They're fuckin woeful.
