Yep. Jonno, Wes, Holt, Tettey gave them no peace all game. Naturally we fell back from

about 75 mins, cos we were nervous and wanted the win.

And that's not me piling in in defence of the club in this thread - I specifically remember thinking during the match how high we were pressing them.

This is a bizarre thread.

    - You take the judgement of Sky and/or Fox over the BBC? I've now heard enough to judge your (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Oct 20, 22:50:31

        You give one example - from a few years back - which is also unprovable to the contrary - (NCFC) - DJ Ginga, Oct 20, 22:59:19
