If Pellers gets his tactics right and the players knuckle down away from home then it's a given for me. What we seen this weekend was a real boost with the team defending as one and even though Spurs were relatively toothless it's a decent sign that we are now taking the league more serious.
I'm going to get splinters for a while until we prove ourselves in the next few away games.

We also don't have the CL distracting Pellegrini and causing him to pick strange sides in the league for another few months (assuming we play a second string tonight and Bayern win making that game a non-event).
Our next couple of away games are potential banana skins, but play properly and they're winnable. Two easy wins at home as well and we could be almost top and on a run and if that happens I don't think we'll be caught. These away games are therefore crucial in proving if we're the real deal or not up to it

Having seen the amount of effort we put in tonight against a poor side, I want to change my vote. We're fecked

His tactics have not cost us anything this season..it has given us the best entertainment we have ever seen , its been individual player fuckups that have stopped us topping the prem.
Players Beefy , not manager ))
