Still Looking Bright.

Think we will lose at Arsenal but think after that we will hit a good run.

 

Prefer to wait n see, we are a decent side and with a bit of luck its achievable but its not the whole focus of life at the club-surely...

 

I dont think we will get anything of Arseanal.
Watched them a couple of times and they have improved. Wenger and the players have turned it round.

 

I've seen quite a bit of Arsenal and I like the way they play and their style. Wenger has them playing football the way it should be played, however on our day I think we're capable of beating them and there's nothing wrong with hoping.

 

Arsenal have stuck to there passing game even when things have been tough and I admire Wenger for that.

 

This, though I have got to say I remember last year thinking we didn't have a chance in hell of beating them there but won 1-0.

 

Very true cbra but I always fear going there cos they are capable of making any team look foolish, but as has been said youve got to have hope.

 

I know, the only times I can remember us being outclassed by them were in the League Cup last seasons and in the 1st half of the game last year when we drew 4-4.

 

Anyone think Pard's will start with Ba and Cisse.

 

Feb 5th, 0-4 down and came back to get a great 4-4 draw.

It just didn't look on at one time but, did we do well to get the draw.

Of course Joey played a big part in that game.

 

No, Ben Arfa will play off Ba. Also he will be more cautious after the Tottenham embarrassment.

 

Probably get shot for this, but I think Shola should start. They don't like big, physical centre forwards.

 

Sunderlands result was a cracker for us obviously. If we can catch Arsenal on a bad day things will be looking exciting. But regardless things are working out very nicely for us at present.

 

We started under the massive handicap of Bruce. O'Neill has gained 26 points from 13 league games. If he was appointed at start of the season at that points ratio. Sunderland would be in the top 4. I kid you not. This season has really been written off because of Bruce but next season under Martin might be interesting.

 

Or the break of the season will stop the momentum of this new managerial honeymoon. You will be improved but it certainly won tbe as prolific as this honeymoon period has been

 

Seven points ahead of Sunderland and a game in hand

should have been 4 points you cheating bastards

 

He started with Ba in the home game against Arsenal and we played at half time when one of them was taken off.

 

Its been a long honeymoon. Any you are only placed so highly on luck are you?


Thought not.

 

I asked this before on our board but no-one knew, if 1 of the Manchester club's win the Europa, will that throw up an extra Euro spot? If it does, there is a chance we could both be in Europe next season.

 

You mad?
