Actually, Suits, I have to disagree just a little about late winners being lucky. I think we made our luck there, and overall desreved the win. I'll aso point out how often the really good teams find very late winners, largely because they have so much self-belief and will to win. Like Chelsea in the CL on Wednesday.

The point is, we are becoming a very good team indeed, and there is a level of confidence (that only falters while BT's on the field). I for one had a feeling, when I saw the 4 minutes of time added, that we had a winner in us. 12 months ago the thought would not have crossed my mind.

we seem to see it slightly differently and thats ace

when i throw my shilling into the reckoning, i reckon we deserved a draw today and against arsenal, but on the other hand deserved victory over fulham away, toon away, blackburn away, city win at home, charlton away, chelsea home draw, reading home win, spurs home draw.

for me, add that up and its ...3..3..3..3..3..1..3..1

total, 20

take off the 4 points i reckon we have got fortunatley and its still 16 to the good.

maybe its a few beers, but who here can say they honestly DO NOT feel cheated by some of the events this season?

(its a bad time in football when you look comparitivley at how we and our peers have been treated and say - 'ah well, we arent the worst off')

I still haven't forgotten the Ameobi offside goal and the Richards late leveller.

I always thought those might come back to haunt us but so far, so good.

Why look at what might have beens, they're never were's, lets go forward and look at what we've actually done. Our failing, if there has been one based on the squad availabilty, has been having so many draws, we have lost the same amount of games as the gooners and the [Poor language removed], both teams only took one point from us this year. If you look at their costs (transfer fees, wages etc), player pool sizes and claimed huge fan bases then we've got to doing something right. As always I'm proud to be blue
