    The next 6 games to define the season?

    Ok we have been wank so far, shit draw at Toon, home loss to Scummerpool, battered like Fakeyanks rim, at Old Trafford and just about a win at home to Swansea

    The next 6 league games..

    Blackburn away
    Bolton home
    Spurs away
    Sunderland home
    Stoke Home
    Chelsea away

    Not good reading really, bogey team away next and although they are shite, they are adept to beat us at our weak spot, set pieces. Bolton home should win. Sunderland have been a thorn to us the last few seasons, Spurs and Chelsea away will be real tests of character and I don't need to tell you about 4th placed Stoke.

    Could be very good times, could be very bad times but certainly a test of character, also mixed in are the CC and the Chumps league.

    Thoughts?

    Blackeye a bogey team? Not really. We win quite often win there - not that I am saying we neccesarily will this time but just that the trepidation might be a little bit misplaced on this occasion.

    Part of the problem has been that the players have the same mentality as lots of the fans.

    A bit of positivity, a bit of character, a bit of desire, and we'll do ok. We're still a good team, it's just a team that needs to pick itself up and show some bollocks.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I still think their strengths are our fundamental weaknesses bud. Can see it being a long and painful 90 minutes on Saturday dinner time.

    I do hope however that Chelsea beat manyoo on Sunday, not because i think we will challenge for title just because i dont want them to go unbeaten

    They may be a very good team. But there are plenty of other good teams around. They'll lose a few this year....

    I think it's vica-versa. Theo or Gervinho against Salgado? That's not going to be pretty. Anyway, our weaknesses this season have not been set-piece based.

    Weirdly he has been their best player so far this season, i know that's not much of an achievement. They played well against fulham and i dont like the thought of Hoilett up against Gibbs. Dann will have a point to prove as well and word is the Venkys are coming to watch as well so it could be an odd day.

    As Arseblog says this morning we need to approach every game like we did the dortmund one and not revert to our usual arrogant belief we will win at a canter.

    Won't Hoilett be out? Schwarzer gave him a fair whack on Sunday.

    Oh shit yeah i forgot about that. proper puke moment that.

    Oh well we might well win this then, the other problem they have is the only decent striker they have is about 2 stone overweight, and hard as Formica and Rochina are trying they aren't ready yet.

    Happier now
