The cat's got the cream Romig.

There's nothing better for setting up a good weekend than a footie win.................. and nothing worse when you lose.

Barney, I'm not asking. What a rotten week for your lot. :(

And the Zolacoasters were derailed :thumbdown:

HOOOOOORAY !!!!

At last something to cheer about.

Not only the three points but more importantly, the way we played.
That's a bit more like it. I drove home with a big grin on my face.

Have we turned the corner?

Who cares. I'm just enjoying the moment. There have been precious few this season.

Thank you Huddersfield :clap: :thumbup:
Thank you Doncaster :clap: :thumbup:
We are top of the league. Great result for us today and the other results have all gone our way.

Sorry Barney. Things don't get any better for your lot.

And what are Watford playing at? I see they lost at home to Yeovil today. Mob will not be happy so don't go upsetting him.

No, not at all ... Yeovil's Manager used to live in Watford and even played for them at the youth and reserve team levels :thumbup:

Mr Zola was simply doing him a favour to help them to get them out of the relegation zone :thumbup:

Well done Foxy :clap:

What a crap day that was :thumbdown:

Great performance from the Terriers. Comprehensively outplayed Burnley for 60 mins...they hardly had a touch..and we should have been 2 goals up at the break. Nevertheless we got 2 in the second half before the usual nervy finish after we sat back a bit and let them get one back.

A performance which bodes well for the future..the best I think we have played this season - if we ignore the last 30 mins.

Well done the Foxes too!

Injustice it was too. Had they not had a ridiculously harsh penalty, they would have finished half way up the Div 2. It was motivated by revenge, a) because they blew the whistle at dodgy dealings, and b) revenge for them having had the plastic pitch.

Dont forget that's the year they won the Johnson Paints Trophy at Wembley.

Oh for the heady days of Sid Owen, Jessie Pye, and Gordon Turner. :(

Do they still have the chicken sheds Frank?

I watched the FL Show this morning. That was some special goal scored by Norwood for Huddersfield wasn't it but the penalty decision? Oh dear ref!!!

Jamie Vardy's goal was a great individual effort too running virtually the length of the field to score the first of his goals.

Foxy, it was a decent strike by Norwood...but the keeper should have done better.

The penalty decision was indeed a poor one, but let's not forget that we recently went a full season without a single penalty...are we really expected to believe that not a single handball or foul occurred in the area during those 50-odd matches? Swings and roundabouts as far as I'm concerned.

I used to be able to strike them like Norwood, the difference being mine usually ended in Row Z or went out for a throw in!!

Another good result by the Terriers. 3 wins on the spin now, and up the table we go (for a while at least). 2 points off the play-off places isn't too shabby.
We've even overtaken that Italian outfit!

I feel unqualified to speak about anything football related as we've seen precious little of it at Priestfield this season

We're doomed I tell ya!

Dooooomed ! :(

Interesting to see the Championship panning out though. :clap:

I like Derby. We have played them twice this season, home and away and won both times - not like that Sheff Weds lot!! We always seem to struggle against those in the relegation zone. However how can I not like a team which so generously gives us wins.
Last night was just a blip and we'll be back. :thumbup:

Chin up Barney - it's early days yet. Keep the faith!!! :wave:
