You have to say, to be 6 points off second in the middle of March is fantastic.

Really? Didn't know that.

Need to sit down now.

Easy bit is over now. Real tests to come.

Its never been an easy bit for us in the last 30 years. We are now managing the hard bit that is beating the so called easy teams. We are now after the harder bit of beating the so called better teams especially away from home but I believe we are a season or 2 short of that presently. But progress is progress and that is something we all can see. Good summer of signings and an adequate replacement for Rom along with more goals from around the team and we are set to go and challenge. We are the best of the rest with a threat of gate crashing the biggest group of spenders in the league

What I liked was I felt we could have defended the 1-0 (which I never felt with Martinez) and then we go on and destroy them 4-0 at a canter.

Haha..so true

I am astounded at the fitness levels we have.

I dont know if were super fit or its just a poor reflection on last few seasons but were grinding down the dross so comfortably now and scoring so many late goals.

he's sorted the team out.. imagine what he can do with more of his own players and a full summer behind him.

we'll be challenging for champions league surely.

Whoa whoa...factor in the loss of 20 odd goals and ten assists from Lukaku and tell me what we're left with.

It;s not guaranteed linear progress mate. We saw that after RMs first season.

If we lose (and we will) Lukaku we have to get a top class striker in to even trouble the top 5 next season.

Its all well and good being positive but a bit of realism has to be applied too.

Doesn't play the kids though

Wonder how Sims is getting on at Southampton

6 points off second. Imagine if we actually pulled off the seemingly impossible feat (of this season) to get top 4.

Arsenal crumbling, United hit and miss, the other side being poor, Spurs without Kane.

 

[davek]

The suspicion still from me is that he can knock over trash but is way too cautious against decent opposition (City at home aside).

If we get back to back wins versus Liverpool and United that would start to convince me otherwise...which I'm sure he;s arsed about like.

Is it? You could have fooled me from... well... pretty much every single one of your posts.

Think the next 2 games will determine that. Get 4 points and I'd be confident
