We were dead lucky we didnt draw todays game and once again Mancini was slow off the mark with his subs...Dzeko on with 1 minute to play is laughable.
Anyway - we are top with 2 point lead again so happy days......

Imho, it's absolutely important that we play our best 11 away from home, we don't need to experiment, to try new tactics and so on. Yaya will return, but he will return tired and he will face a new climate and weather of what he was used in Gabon, were Cote d'Ivoire trained. I saw Demba Ba since his comeback and he was poor, he scored, but he looked that the game tempo was extremly quick for him.

If there are two away matches this season where I believe we will get 3 points they are at Norwich and Swansea.
Swansea's style of play should play into our hands.. and if Norwich put as many players forward as they usually do we will murder them.

You would think both Swansea & Norwich will try to play football, which should really help us get our game together.

Nah, if we play like that full 90 mins that's 6 points in the bag. No doubt in my mind. Promoted teams fighting for their lives usually overperform against average sides that they see there for the taking. They almost never really challenge top top clubs and treat these games almost like bit of breather during the season. Furthermore, they are both basically clear of relegation battle and teams like that are usually so exhausted by now that they just limp over that 37 to 40 point mark during the spring. In fact, I predict that Norwich will win max two games rest of the season.

I'll bet you they win at least two of their next five and finish on 45+.
Also, 'top top clubs'? Do you literally wear too-tight trousers and obviously have a job as a pundit on Sky Sports?

I'm not taking you on 2 wins and 45+ points. But I'd take you three or more league wins for tenner on chosen charity of winner. Cool?

Yes. (And mine's The Red Cross.)

Red Cross is sound. Just to make this clear, no points limits just straight wins (which was my original point as they are going to draw some games as well).

OK. 3 wins, I win. Any less and you do. Clear as day.
