Excitiement at last!
Yeah yeah its been a while since my last update. No excuses, lots of reasons including "CBA" (Couldn't Be Arsed), but with the excitement we have at the moment, I was drawn back to witter on a bit more.
After a few years of boring Premiership survival we are suddenly in a real battle. Most people might have hoped it would be a battle for a European spot, but in all honesty there was always more chance of us getting into a relegation dogfight than finishing in a European position. Many moaned about Curbs' negative tactics (I hold my hands up), but who could have predicted the mess the Club, let alone the team, would get into after his departure. A lot has been made of the four Manager's we've had this year, but for me, I'm glad we finally have a Manager with more personalilty than a dried prune (sorry Curbs but its true), though whether we pull of the great escape is yet to be decided.
I'm not interested in the Chelsea result, nor the Man Ure game, we will probably end up with bugger all from those, but the fact we picked up 4 points from Pompey and Bolton means we are still not dead and buried. The games that are going to plot our future will be West Ham, Watford, possibly Newcastle and Wigan. All of these games are "winnable" and with a bit of hard work, some spectacular luck, and maybe a little bit of quality thrown in somewhere, we could come out of those fixtures with life looking a bit more rosey. Even after those we still have fixtures against Man City, Reading and Sheffield United so all in all, we have our destiny in our own hands. Lets see if Super Al can motivate the boys enough to give us another shot at the big league.
