A win in this one makes December more successful than we would have thought.. 9 points already.. make it 12 V Burnley and it's a good month given the fixtures.. Game V Wolves is winnable too that could be 15.. a point from either Spurs or City would make it fantastic.
 

This is a critical game. If we turn these over and climb another place I'm thinking that this is shaping up to be a special season whereby we can have great hopes of getting toward mid-table...a Euro spot in reality with the 10 points added on.

This is a real test for us - mentally more than in terms of ability.

Its all a bit surreal right now. A team that missed out on relegation by the skin of its teeth in the last two seasons winning 7 of the first 16 games.

This is the game were i will firmly believe we have turned a corner if we come away with the 3 points.

I said last week we will get points were we least expect and drop points in very winnable games, that's what we do and this is one of them games.

And could easily have been more. The Fulham and Wolves games right at the start of the season could easily have been comfortable wins for us. I'm sure there are other two games too.

Important we don't let our foot off the gas - 3 wins in a row is something we haven't done in a while, but why stop there? It's easy to say we have been much better than the bottom three, and that's true, but as the table stands we aren't far ahead of them. We need to carry on fighting and playing as we are rather than celebrating how well we've done recently.

Yes, precisely mate.

If we buck that trend we're onto something this season, despite the 10 point deduction.

Its still sad to see fans (even Burnley fans) stating that we cheated so should take the punishment. But not addressing the fact that we freely admit to having cocked up, but the punishment is just way OTT.

“Did you or did you not steal that apple?”

Yes? Guilty! 6 months in jail then. Cant deny you are guilty!!!

Yep.

Our away form has been outstanding too, so there's no excuse not to grab all 3 points.

If necessary I'd settle for 1 and keep the run going though.

I think I'd have settled for 1 point in each of the last two games. Not letting Burnley close the gap feels more important than getting that win against Chelsea.
