Enthusiasm - it feels different

If we play the likes of Osman, Naismith, Jelavic we are asking for draws.

erm... what?

Ur spot on mate, i'm actually enjoying games against better opposition this season compared to last season when it was horrible

 

[bignev23]

I'm feelin it

Hence why they were all on the bench

Martinez is a great manager but don't get ahead of yourselves, you wont finish top 4! or above Swans even

erm... what?

With easier games coming up, I hope he doesn't start using the squad too much. What we have is a first 11 with a perfect blend. The players I mention will only reduce the cutting edge upfront.

I bet Bill Kenwright is loving this positivity as he never gets mentioned in these parts now.

You are deluded.

Don't think he will change it too much, only if he has too, but we have too remember the games come thick and fast during the christmas period.

It IS different, mate...
There's a weight of expectation. We actually thrive on pressure rather than fear it. It comes because we play football in line with Robertos vision of how it should be played, and trust that the results will follow accordingly.

These things come around every now and again. I was there in 63, 69 and the 80's and it just feels the same now. I don't know what it is, but we have a great defence that can attack, probably the best midfield in the country ( I know Arsenal are good but we just battered the) and an attack that consists of 10 players. I really believe we are on the verge of something great. Roberto you are the man.........

In one of Martinez first games (forget which), the players took a short free kick rather than lump it in the box, the groans and indignation were audible.

I think we've had % football rammed down our throats as our only way of competing for decades.

It's like dutifully striding away on the missus in the missionary but now you've got your mojo back, dusted down the kama sutra and she's getting flipped and bound and contorted every-which way that she doesn't know which end it's going in next, and sure let the neighbours complain about the noise, their dickheads anyway, WHAT'S OUR NAME? SAY IT!

Quality post mate, great final paragraph!!! It was against Chelski regarding the free kick not getting launched in the box and a bit if unrest about it.
