Too right. Where's all this confidence coming from? Delusional! Arsenal are favourites, and rightly so. Tonight is their best team against our (pretty much) best team. And their best has been better than our best for some time.
We're closer to them than we have been for years, so now and again...
Honestly don't think absence of Pienaar is any great miss. Have yet to work out what be adds.
A willing runner. Great.
Also, I don't think it ever works when Bale and Lennon play on their 'wrong' wings. People think it's a smart move, allows them to cut in and threaten goal etc, but they just...
Obviously the caveat to all this is what William Goldman said: Nobody knows anything.
But, if you were forced at gunpoint (no, you're right, this isn't a likely scenario) to put a grand on us moving up a place or down a place (staying 5th means bet is null and void), where would your money go...
Ha, when Francis first came I thought he was great! And for a very long time he was the manager who'd got us our highest Premier League finish. Thank God that's no longer the case...
One danger with the Redknapp situation is that if it becomes nailed on/common knowledge that he's getting the England job, how does that affect how the players perform for him? How they view their contracts/future at the club etc?
I know it shouldn't matter, but the season that Fergie...
I don't understand the bit about 'he wants the ride possible', sorry.
And I wasn't assuming he's going to City, but if you're going to discuss Mourinho coming back to England and which club he might end up at, I think City have to be part of that discussion.
What I was actually trying to say...
If Mourinho's coming back to the Premier League - and his pet journos insist that he is - then his most likely destinations are City and Chelsea.
I think both clubs will change their managers this summer, for a start.
City will offer to make him the highest paid manager in history and give...
I wouldn't be surprised if VdV left, and I don't think it would be a disaster if he did.
It would say more about him than us, I think. He's a bit of a nomad. He came here almost by accident in a very last minute deal.
And he has a disproportionate effect on our shape and style. He's a great...
I'm not sure Harry fancies VdV with Defoe. Or maybe even with anyone other than Crouch. I wonder if he might give Pav and Defoe another run out together.
I would love Pienaar to be a success, but I've never been convinced.
Wasn't convinced for the 18 months during which he was linked to us, wasn't convinced when we bought him and haven't seen anything to convince me since he joined.
Just don't see what he brings above and beyond what we've got...
My comment when leaving the Lane last night was: "We've given the Champions League enough entertainment this year, tonight was about getting through and only about getting through. And what do you know, we only went and did it."
