Well that wasn’t in the script was it? by Shenel
These are the kind of weekends that I love; good results for our men and women’s teams and Spurs dropping points.
So now we can have an even bigger smile on our faces but we must not get too far ahead of ourselves..
Well, after what happened with our three losses in a row and when things were looking bleak, who would have thought scoring seven goals in two games, conceding just three and claiming a maximum six points out of six, away to Chelsea and at home to Manchester United in the space of four days is how our results would have gone?
I for one wasn’t too positive going into last week’s fixtures after three defeats to teams we should be beating. And I know I am repeating myself, but it becomes frustrating when you see what we can do and have done and what could have been, had we won those three games and got nine points. Because we wouldn’t be sitting in fourth would we.
But we cannot dwell on what could have been, so back to the latest results.
And what a lovely shock.
I will admit I was as surprised as anyone after the result at Stamford Bridge, happy but surprised. And I didn’t even have time to recover before we beat Manchester United, but then we should be winning games like that, because if we want to be top then that’s what we should be expecting and delivering.
But given how things have gone recently and how we “fail against the big teams”, it is nice that we brushed aside two of the big teams within the space of three days.
Although I have to admit it is still hard to be positive despite beating Chelsea and United, just because of how inconsistent we can be, and plus we don’t know if these wins will have been a waste especially if we drop points in our remaining games with things now slightly in our hands.
Although a negative attitude won’t get us anywhere we have to be positive and hope for the best and believe these wins will push us to have a strong end of season that will see us end up back in the Champions League.
So it couldn’t have gone any better this weekend, but we remain grounded and onwards and upwards we go until the next one!

Westham is so crucial,if we win it and Spurs win Leicester,then it will be Liverpool vs spurs and Arsenal vs leeds which look very optimistic,although we have to be aware of Newcastle.
Watching the Tottenham fan sites they are absolutely gutted they have thrown away their advantage. They believe we were extremely lucky against Chelsea and Utd but acknowledge we are findng a way to win ugly whereas they have not had a shot on target in two games. Ehe only way they can be sure of top 4 is winning all ther games including v Liverpool at Anfield but they do not believe they will win at Anfield. They are therefor counting on winning the NLD and hoping one or more of Westham + Newcastle Leeds and Everton taking some points off us. I believe if we beat Westham and Spurs lose at Liverpool we can afford to lose the NLD and still get top 4. But we must beat Magpies + the Hammers away and Leeds and Everton home. The way both clubs are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory who knows what will happen. Its riveting stuff. COYG
It’s in our hands and that’s why we are in the driving seat – let’s just be consistent and top four is ours.
But if we had won 2 of the previous 3 games, we might have love against Chelshit and Manure. A bad spell was just waiting to happen and it happened within those 2 weeks. We can now try to have a good run. A run of 5 wins is possible, 3 to go.
Yes JL and that’s why I keep saying that “consistency” is the key – can MA produce this?
Just have that strong feeling we are going to qualify for that top four with a minimum of three clear points.
Without a doubt Arsenal is going to be one of the most interesting football club in the summer finishing in the fourth spot.
This young manager seems to have a drive and hunger i have not seen often.
It is for these reasons, inspite mistakes he has made, I would like to see how he intends to propel the club forward
