from Citeh, Wigan and United, plus a bona fide left back and this will be the best January ever?
Discuss!

A good January yes, but we've had better.
Who knows, we might have a decent March for a change this year too.
-
We always win at Old Trafford. Stick your poxy seven points I expect nine.

Plunging from the depths of despair after Man Citeh and Tottenham in December to 'the best January ever!' sounds a bit schizophrenic to me.
Jan 1992/93 was pretty sweet. Beating the Scousers at their place with Deano scoring the winner, then following that up by hammering Boro 5-1.
1989/90 was special too, 3-0 at Stamford Bridge with Daley running the length of the field to score one of his usual efforts, think we won all our matches that month to put us in with a decent shout of the title. A few weeks later towards the end of Feb we beat Tottenham away and went 5 points clear at the top IIRC. We lost the next game to Wimbledon 0-3.
-
We are 5 points off 7th place right now and a ron at Wigan will mean 2 points away from 7th- we have only 2 out of our last 15 games against teams in the top 6 so although I do not expect anything at old Trafford, we are in the mix and a win at Wigan will put us closer to a European place than relegation- let's hope arsenal win the league cup and it frees an extra league place to qualify for Europe.
Similar to dols 1st season where we went from bottom 6 at this time to finish in the top 6 - let's go and get them!
-
We need to win against Wigan then beat Blackburn in the cup and i think it would've been a very good start to the year.
-
A win at Wigan and a win against Blackburn would really put us on a roll.
-
The players seem to be working for Houllier now, so a win at Wigan and against Blackburn the confidence will be sky high.
-
Even if we win against Wigan and Blackburn, it'll still be a long way off being the best January ever. Remember Sunderland?
The most important match of the next seven days is on Tuesday. After that, I think the next "must win" is the Fulham. Progress in the Cup would be great; getting anything at Old Trafford would be an unexpected bonus.
-
The Sunderland game was unlucky. If Heskey had a scored or b put the ball out, we would have gone on to win the game IMO. Right now it looks a big 3 points at the top end to have lost as much as the bottom. Shame.
-
If Bent had played for us all season then we'd have beat Slumberland twice.
I think we'll finish above them. They look poor everytime I see them.
-
i think collectivelly it will be a great january if we win those games, because of the signings and the new found confidence and teamwork/solid defence.
-
Just did the BBC 'Predictor' for Monday-Wednesday's games: Chelski, Ure, Aston Villa and the dippers to all win by more than one goal (except the dippers who win 2-1) and we are up to 13th spot.
You read it here.

I know it sounds delusional, but still think we can make europe. Seriously need a young pacy left back ..........

I feel like I'm back at school and it's exam time!
-
I'm loving the optimism on here, what a difference a new signing makes and a hard fought victory, come on Villa
-
Too right. Fickle as fuck me! Can't wait until Bent has a barren patch so I can have a snipe at Houllier again.
