With the players we have, we are capable of winning both games but I don't see a defeat in either or both as the end of the World.
We are still bedding this squad in and there should be a gradual improvement as the season goes on. As this team starts to learn from each other our form should improve.
No matter what happens, I think that bit by bit, things will come together, players will learn and we will climb the league table and press the top four...and possibly...hopefully...end up in the top four ourselves.

Last year we beat Arse convincingly at home, but still managed to end up in mid-table obscurity. It's our away form that is more important and how we do against 'lesser' teams. If we win all our games against the poorer teams and manage to get a few draws and an odd win against the 'big' 4, we should be in with a shout for top-4 finish.

I do believe in Svens season we had the best record of anyone in the league against the top 4. We were a poor poor side come Feb that season.

That just proves my point. Can't remember what we did against the other 3 anymore actually! Think we had 2 goalless draws with the scousers but fucl knows what we did against Chelski and Arse?
