Falcon the Gooner @afcfalcon.bsky.social · 1hThat's totally cool mate, although it's difficult to treat the word "fail" as a positive if you get me? Its definitely an interesting observation and I much preferred it 20-odd years ago when we wrapped many games up 3-0 inside the first 1/2 hour... Hopefully we can get back to that at some point 🤞 000

Falcon the Gooner @afcfalcon.bsky.social · 1hThis brings to mind an old football cliché...It doesn't matter when you score, only that you do score. Yes, we'd all like to watch more comfortable performances, but it's not always possible, especially following an extended world cup, we're in a pretty good place as things stand. 100
