Good write up.

Yes we can do exciting losses when we are pushing for Top 6 finishes. Hoepfully, sooner rather than later.

Good article as usual, but don't forget we beat Arsenal away last season! Home record is pretty poor against them, so I guess that's what you were meaning.

Great piece Dave,it really shows how we appreciate the team's successes and how much more it means to us than the plastic fans.

You're very so pessimistic, Dave: of course we're going to stay there!

Another good read Dave I was saying to my friend in the pub that it must be the Roy Keane factor for our good run at the moment.

Like the Clough analogy.

I think it's a good analogy, too.  Times are different now and I doubt it's an approach that will ever again reap the rewards of domestic and European championships.  However, if we no longer succumb to defeats to the teams we should beat and have the occasional result against the more fancied clubs, then it will have been a very decent season.

To take the Clough comparison a step further, Peter Taylor was the greatest assistant manager of all, yet failed as a manager. Maybe that's Roy Keane's best role as well.
