Who can say this isn't a big improvement on pissing around in 5th trying to scrape a CL spot. Certainly it could all still go tits up, but at least wait to see if that happens before killing the manager. It's like that fat bag of shit Martin Samuel, demanding Wenger give his excuses for losing to Utd before the game was even played.
The bookies think we're out of it and anyone who's watched use capitulate regularly in the last 8 years isn't going to be convinced we're in it. We've started the 1st part of our hard run by dropping 5 points out of 6, second part is in March and I have no confidence we can come out of it unscathed as time and time again we're unable to beat the best sides, this hasn't changed.

It's an improvement, but as I said we did the same a few years back and collapsed, I don't see how that's any different to that thus far.

How can you genuinely believe in a side who everything they are faced with adversity or come up against top sides fall? Until that changes noone is going to believe and it's not unreasonable to understand why.
