Odds for The Title and top four

[guv111]

Isn't it exciting!

Douglas Higginbottom has stolen my thunder a bit. Our capacity to bottle it against the league's better sides is the reason why we are having this crisis of confidence at the moment, and it's also reflected in the odds. Generally, we can thrash relegation fodder, and mid-table sides as long as they're a disorganised rabble, but we've also been found wanting against sturdy, well oganised and intransigent teams. Tonight's game is one we were very capable of winning, and winning well, in the first half of the season, but do we have the energy now? Are the players committed enough? Is our overall standard high enough, and is Mancini good enough? While Villa seem to have improved, they shouldn't send shivers down any spines. Fact is, that after the Fulham debacle, if we fail to win games like tonight's we don't deserve top 4 - and probably won't get it, never mind win a trophy.

It's an interesting tense time for sure but we will win tonight and we will beat Wigan on Saturday.

It's after that we need to up our game.

Honestly Guv...I'm not stalking you...:-)....but.
If we have had so much trouble with the top sides and have been so found out by the well oragnised ones....Why are we sat 3rd in the League, with all to play for? Those below us must have far more trouble than us.
