What, cheat? I agree and I'd like to see it stamped out, no intent from the keeper the fall was purely Bamfords' fault

According to Paul Merson who is watching the Fulham game for Sky, had Mitrovic been playing he would have had the ball in the net several times. Apparently lots of balls into the box but no-one there to connect....shouldn't have been a naughty boy should he?

Bamford takes up some strange positions, especially considering we play with one up front

What I don't get is, why all the Brentford reports??

What they do has no relevance to us at all if we are winning..
Hopelessly lost.................. But making good time

Because they are on a roll dear hector. I would prefer to be nine points ahead of third instead of six, especially as Brentford have a far superior goal difference to us. They have a really easy run in as well.

Apart from the Blackburn goal (on a free kick they should never have been awarded), we fairly dominated the second half.

Outstanding effort from White, Cooper, Douglas, and Ayling over the last 45.
