The Palace and United games will tell us many things
Firstly the players, they will be under close scrutiny as the two games are easily winnable but also so easy to lose.
We have the better players but we will be up against a team in a small ground with a lot of noise against a team who are committed and a with a manager who hates us with a vengeance. The other game is against the luckiest team on this planet this season, enough said.
Will our players be up for it, or not. Moment of destiny for quite a few of them. True test of character, commitment and determination.
Secondly the manager, this could be make or break, he was lucky yesterday with Liverpool losing, but two straight defeats could change all that.
He has to finish fourth as a minimum, fifth is not acceptable. His team selection will be key, does he go to win or does he go to avoid defeat?
Even though Chelsea are 9 points ahead they are very catchable.
I know we are capable of winning both and if we do we will be favourites for second despite Arsenals good form or hopefully better.
Fingers crossed
the joys of being a blue.
