Headline says '8-day break'; story says giving time to Poch to "prepare his players".

Don't the papers know that Poch's preparation includes double-training sessions, walking across hot coals, swallowing swords, head-butting walls, etc. Wouldn't really class that as a 'break' for the players - maybe headline should read '8-days of hell'.

Must win game, anything other than a win will put a second place finish in doubt.

Agreed, Arsenal are really breathing down our necks now, especially with their game in hand.

Every game must win from now until end of the season. Whilst its good to have a weeks rest between each game for physical fitness, mentally it gives the players more time to think about it. This will show how well they handle the pressure.

This will be the 4th time we have had 8 days between matches, and so far we have won the previous 3, Sunderland away, Villa home, Man C away, so lets hope it continues

and we have another 8 days too Stoke after

United have 7 days off too and they will be pushing really hard for a champions league spot so let's not kid ourselves this'll be easy. I'm sick of the way they've tapped up our players over the years so to quote Keegan I'd love it if we can beat them and they end up in the Europa League.

I doubt it makes too much difference, but they have 7, we have 8
