Another day dawns and it takes us one day nearer normality, this bloody dead weekend behind us and looking forward to proper footy.

I was thinking this morning; it’s all you have to do when you are in a field at 6 in the morning, waiting for the dog to have his morning ****, welcome to my world, anyway, I was thinking.

Getting knocked out of the cup may be the making of our season, how badly do we need this 2 week recharge time? How badly do we need these 2 weeks for Sess and Muntari to train with the team? How badly does Henderson need 2 weeks rest? How badly do our walking wounded need a 2 week break?

And how badly do our defenders need 2 weeks practice at defending?

I think it was watching the dog **** that reminded me about the defending bit.
 
It COULD be the making of our season, but we MUST get a result against Everton and/or Arsenal.

Another 15days without a game after Arsenal, we don't want the players having that time off after 5 without a win.

I think we'll beat Everton, personally.
 
we have to brucey, must get into that will mentality. I dont think it was our defending that allowed Sours to beat us, it was Spurs will to win that put the pressure on our defence.

I agree to an extent, but the front 5 need to start killing teams off when on top, if the defence are defending a 2 goal lead then there's less pressure.

I'm off to Antigua the day after Everton, so the lads need to get a result or my lass will have a very unhappy flight, they won't let us down Syd, my confidence is growing by the day.

I hate you
 
In the words of my 6 year old gandson Brucey, it was not a lie it was just a joke, he never ever tells lies but jokes a lot.

Love ya really but off out now.

Bb I agree with you about our front five;
I was having a look at the conversion rate between shots (both on and off target) and goals for the other weekend’s fixture.
I know that this is just a snapshot and therefore maybe not an indicator of anything
I’ve ranked performance based on best shots to goals ratio;

Total Number of Shots Conversion rate

West Brom 16 19%
Man United 11 18%
Tottenham 11 18%
Bolton 11 18%
West Ham 18 17%
Aston Vila 7 14%
Wigan 8 13%
Arsenal 17 12%
Liverpool 13 8%
Man City 13 8%
Blackpool 14 7%
Sunderland 16 6%
Newcastle 12 0%
Everton 9 0%
Blackburn 4 0%
Wolves 2 0%

Interesting reading though mate, i'd wager over the season it's not miles out.
