How were we doing at this stage 2 years ago? I'm worried my mid-term memory is shot to bits, I honestly can't remember if there was similar talk to now.
We had already shot our bolt.
The Sheffield United draw made us uneasy. The defeat at Old Trafford knocked the stuffing out of us. We brought kids on that night, as injuries piled up. And that was before the turn of the year. We were about to be turfed out of the cup by Chelsea, then embarrassed at home by the Jaudis. We spent the rest of the year with our foot on Spurs’ neck, trying to make sure they drowned.
