As much as today was frustrating the results seen to go our way just now with Arsenal drawing which makes dropping points more annoying. The next 3 games are vital and key to our euro hopes. We tend to do well against the top teams so let's hope. With Felli , Kev and Gibbo likely available I see know reason why we can't get a few points. Such a long way to go.

There are way more 'small' teams than 'big' teams. I'm far more concerned about us not being able to beat Norwich at home than i am about Arsenal Spurs and City. It's games like the one today which get you in Europe, because there are simply more of them.
I disagree, I think the last 3 games have pointed the way, GLARINGLY.

We're more likely to win these than we were the last 3 games.
Which ain't that bad a thing, its better to beat the teams around you and lose to those at the bottom than vice versa. Obviosuly you wanna win them all but if its one or the other than its better to beat Arsenal and draw with Norwich and lose to Reading that beat Reading, draw with Norwich and lose to Arsenal.
If we'd have beat West Brom but lost to Southampton we'd be on the same points but only 2 points behind them rather than 5.

That's what I mean. Would make these drop points more harder to take. To be 5th after 12 games is still a great effort .... I know it could be way better but still in with a chance

Anyone can turn up and play their best against a good team, it's the reason why you get so many upsets in cup competitions, but it's when you can play to that level when you play teams lesser than you that you do well in the league. For a few years now we've done well against good sides but bottled it against lesser teams and that seems to be the case this season yet again, at least in past seasons we could moan about us not having the quality to unlock teams but that is blatantly untrue with this squad even with so many out injured.

Well, Moyes said to judge us after we were further in to the season...I'd say we're there. Or does that not count now because of injuries? FFS, confusing...

will be refreshing to go into arsenal not as overwhelming favourites, it's been a while this season. Will probably good for us. Hoping we'll win and it will give us a fresh injection of confidence like the man utd game did. sadly, as brennan said there's more teams worse than us than better than us in this league and it's these you need to beat. as we showed when we finished 4th
I really thought we'd got over not being able to beat the crap teams when we beat villa, Swansea away and soton, but it's back again.
The issue is, if we don't get much from the bigger games coming up, we'll be mid-table by Christmas and the great start won't count for shat
