I don't doubt it. But tomorrow is huge. Win that, and put the pressure squarely back on Arsenal. And let's see how they respond. Yes; they had a good result during the week. But let's remember; it was Chelsea, who couldn't win an argument at the moment. We need to go out with the right attitude tomorrow afternoon. Respect the opponent, but don't fear them. As should be the case in every game. And which I'm confident will be the case against L***s.I'm sure Rags were celebrating when Arsenal beat us 1-0 and when we were 8 points behind with 6 games to go. Didn't a bookie pay out on them that year?
There's still trips and spills to come lads. One game at a time.
Just posted something similar on the Leeds pre match thread.This could be a huge weekend for us, if we win and go 4 points clear then there is immense pressure on Arsenal to get a win at Newcastle, let's assume that they get a draw and the lead will be down to 3 points although we have a game in hand. If we then won next Sunday at Everton we would be 6 points clear and Arsenal would only have 9 left to play for.
All if's and buts, however if things go in our favour the league could be all but wrapped up next weekend.
Personally, I don't hold with analysing what fixtures are left and where each side may or may not drop points. For me, the first principle is to focus on looking after what we can control, which means winning our own games. The second is to take the games one at a time. Hardly ground-breaking stuff, I know, but reading through this thread I see plenty who don't seem able to stick to these principles.
15th June, 09:00 BST.When does next seasons fixture list come out? If we win our first 6 fixtures we'll get 6 green W's in the form bit of the table. That'll make it tough for the chasing pack.
Yes, I hope you are wrong too, I don't fancy having to go to Brentford needing a win. I know we have required victories on the last day of the season before but even so, think my nerves couldn't stand it again!Going to the last day I reckon. Hope I’m wrong!
