My enjoyment this afternoon was enhanced by the consumption of a whole chocolate Father Christmas. Not intended for me. mrs micra had the heater on full blast in her car the other day and Father Christmas suffered such melting disfigurement that it would have been totally inappropriate to present him to next door’s five-year-old, as was the original intention. A couple of days in the refrigerator resulted in a stiff but still disfigured Santa.
Not having retained all my own teeth over the decades, I was forced to carry out further surgery, peeling off (in tiny bits) the tightly clinging thin and crinkly tin foil before using a (non-sterile) serated steak knife to produce bite sized chunks, a couple of which shot across the dining room where my ancient laptop lives.
Quite an eventful afternoon watching a match which, in the pattern of play, closely echoed the Aberdeen v Celtic match preceding our game. Celtic were successfully repelled by Anthony Stewart and his gallant team mates until about the 87th minute and I had a nasty feeling that a similar late equaliser was going to deny us the full quota of priceless points.
For the life of me, I can’t decide on the Man of Match but David Wheeler is right up there with two or three other contenders.
Fantastic result built on a solid defensive display. Thought we looked alittle low of composure up top for most of the game (bar Hanlan’s goal) but I think defensively we were on point.
The lost count of the number of blocks we put in. Excellent 3 points.
I’m guessing that it was because it was overtaken and completely overshadowed by the brilliance of Brandon’s wriggle past two defenders and his powerful finish (hardly a ‘dink’ as the BBC App reporter described it) - in the same sentence in which he described us as the away side !
We are probably fortunate that in the eyes of the medical experts underwriting transfers and wages he’s still a liability. The fact he has played every minute for us and been faultless is largely irrelevant.
It’s mad that he isn’t overwhelmed with offers. He plays so well. Don’t go too much with omens but last time we had a written off centre half that was on the verge of leaving the game it worked out ok.
Great result, wonderful goal followed by defensive master class. Perhaps the poster who wondered why we went to such lengths to get the game on now realises why we did.

Nice to see the club acknowledging the nickname:
Wycombe Wanderers on Twitter: "Mustard! #WYCvIPS https://t.co/6UDDvaFS2m" / Twitter
29% possession. Arf.
Possession can, in fact, do one, as it turns out.
When we get to Wembley I’m having that on the banner.
I was a bit worried about the lack of "would not want to watch that every week" comments. All is now well.

Exactly how I saw it @LX1.

The old 'yeah it was melting so had to eat it' excuse eh @micra 😉?
Would you or anyone else care to enlighten me on the nickname? Am I missing something really obvious?
Tried Colmans, yellow....can't find any link yet.
Melted then reset chocolate is the best kind.
Positives, I walked to the ground listening to the Martin O’Neill autobiography coincidentally he was talking about the Wycombe years .
Brandons goal what a touch of genius
Negatives, I had to use a portaloo at half time can’t some people just try and hit the bowl!

From online: "as early as the 1600s, hot/strong/keen as mustard was a figure of speech for something extremely powerful, passionate, or enthusiastic."
"Mustard" just seems to fit the way Hanlan plays. When he is feeling it, he is too hot for defences to handle.
Superb win, getting a goal, then confident to defend out the rest of the game.
Saw plenty of people getting hot drinks too after all!
7th in the table, the whole squad fit again, things look quite rosy after all.
Taf?
Shout out to all involved in getting the game on. On another day victory may not have been achieved
Ill isn't he?
Smashing result.
Can we keep hold of Mawson in January.
Mad that Wheeler will get an assist for Hanlan's goal. Ridiculous/inaccurate stat.
How is that mad?

Welcome aboard son, always a pleasure to have such distinguished passengers.
Plenty of room for others who temporarily forgot that seasons are played out over 46 games. The more the merrier

it’s only irrelevant if he stays. I think he will.

It's the peak of irony that the one huge injury risk in the squad has played more games than almost everyone else.
Fingers crossed it continues this way though.
He got a late booking today, no idea if that's now a ban, or whether we're past that period?
Tremendous result. Fantastic defensive effort. Need to keep all the players and maintain play off push.

Kaikai was unavailable through illness.
Gareth said something like 'wait for the final 2 thirds of the season.'
In Gareth we trust.
Good to see Gape back. He's had ages out, but it doesn't half help our options in the centre.
Wonder how close Thompson is or isn't.
