if Chelsea beat Spurs they are guaranteed 4th spot because of goal difference. Hope that works in our favour

Curcic had some ability. He had a brilliant season for Bolton the year before but he just didn't fit into Brian Little's way of playing.

Yes if United had of played like this against us we may have stood a chance.

I did say one of the worst

Just give us a referendum and then the interest in UKIP will die down. My biggest worry about the UKIP is that even if Labour win the next election, they may not get a majority and the UKIP will hold the balance of power and a coalition will be formed between them and the Tories to form the govt. It would be a disaster if that happened.

Well at least its something to work on. If he was poor in both depts. that would be a problem

So Gabby has been perfect and always put the effort in and made the right choices? Rubbish. When fit and played in position and not slagged off and put down by his manager, Yes, Yes he has. So get back in your box ;-) I'm with Ginko on this one. I've seen many Gabby performances over the past few years where he really looked completely disinterested. To say he's always given 100% in every game is just wrong. What he does do, is show up in the big games. Gabby is consistently inconsistent with effort/form. He always has been. If he could give his all every game he'd be a top top player. Unfortunately, when you're a limited footballer who doesn't try 100% every game it can look extremely bad. Anyway, I hope Gabby can keep up this form because he's really been excellent of late. I think it is also down to the manager to get the best out of players, Houllier and MCleish failed to do this with Gabby, Oneill and Lambert have. So full credit to Lambert in his man management skills.

I agree and although Westwood played that sublime ball, Delph was the pick of our midfield players

More than enough, and Downing wanted to go anyway.

Crowds are up this season on last

Yes very true, why are we all so worried about Wigan because they fluked a win against West Brom. Even if they beat Swansea they wont get anything at Arsenal and I would back us to at least get a draw at Wigan.

Not really good enough even as back up.

I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go into that game with the belief that we can win it. I can think of about £100million worth of reasons. Let's not get carried away. We've been playing well but Sunderland on Monday were truly terrible. Secret agent Cuellar helped us out massively, and then again today it could have very easily have been same old story from this season, go ahead only to crumble and concede. We can't keep a clean sheet. As long as Chelsea keep us out from scoring, which is more likely than the other way around, they will beat us. I don't fancy us outscoring Chelsea either, no matter how good our front three have been in recent weeks. I'm just saying we should have the belief we can beat them. We cant just go into that game thinking 0 points.

I don't see any reason why we shouldn't go into that game with the belief that we can win it.

The worry is quite simple & justified by the following. "We are not safe yet & Woodytom has highlighted a highly probable set of results that could still send us down" I won't be getting any sleep again tonight worrying. Fact!....Nervous or what! Well I think think that set of results with Villa getting 0 points is pretty improbable

Are people still worried because we've been down there all season? I don't understand the worry! We don't need to rely on Wigan losing anymore.

Yes I totally agree.

I'm sure if Lambert thought he was a liability he wouldn't pick him

Yes to be honest they were dreadful today. If they defend as bad as that against us we should have a field day up there.

Yes I totally agree. You feel that the players really want to play for him. Although he doesn't come across too eloquent, I think he's a pretty smart man.

Yes but the odds of all those scenarios happening are slight hence the odds. Bookmakers don't give anything away.

Would have been harsh if he of been sent off. Ref got it right! Bassong should have been booked as well for his part.

We have won more away games than Everton this season

Even when he's off his game he still makes those runs so he's invaluable to the team.
