Once again a cup competitions has set us up for a no-win situation and how the media love it. It’s obviously Friday and the kick-off time is 19:55. When was the last time we ever had a fixture like that? Oh well… I suppose it’s churlish to complain because we’d … Continue reading
Whilst we have been generally improved in recent weeks, there was a feeling that the element of luck that accompanied our unbeaten run finally ran out last weekend as we put in a largely toothless display against Southampton. Not one shot on target was the damning statistic and for a … Continue reading
Once again we face an opponent that we met in December which, once again, was a somewhat fortunate victory for us and it was the brilliance of De Gea at one end and a timely return to form of Van Persie at the other end that proved the difference between … Continue reading
