Cardiff and Hull next up.
Hopefully we can build up a another winning run and stay on top with this cushion.
Not the best performance we've seen but we got the 3 points against a very good side. Mertesacker and Kos were both the rocks we've come to love in the heart of our defense, and Chesney was confident and assured.
I hope Giroud thanked Boruc for the early Christmas present![]()
The last time we lost an unbeaten run against United at OT, we had Southampton at home and were dire and looked dead until the dutch skunk scored an injury time goal to salvage a draw. We looked shot of confidence and bereft of belief.
Today it was a different result. One of belief and keeping going and maturity. We kept Southampton at Arms length all game and thought we did very well.
We are winning games on the strength of our defence and Giroud who is after Mertesacker and Kos our most important player. Hassling, harrying and always an outlet when we play the long ball. Brilliant.
