Spurs are playing united before our game next weekend.

I know we should be motivated for a win anytime and all that, but do you prefer if we played before them, same time, or after them?

It really worked well for them this week.

I am just preparing for next week's pressure.

Its a relaxing position to be in at first, but if Spurs managed a win it will have to be a win or season over for us..

Until the last couple of weeks or so, we've been playing catch-up with the other clubs at the top for what feels like all season. Ironically, it's when we had the chance to steal a march on Spurs, Villa and Liverpool that we have bottled it. So, I think I'd rather we played after them. Maybe we can't cope with setting the pace?

Playing catch up has always worked for us so far this season especially since Mancini took over so being a week behind them is all good.
