So Ure will go out to 2 games in hand after the Arsenal game. I´d rather have the points TBH.
April fixtures
Liverpool (2) : Arsenal (h) 21/04, Hull (a) 25/04
Arsenal (4) : Villareal (h) 15/04, Chelsea (n) 18/04, Liverpool (a) 21/04, Middlesboro (h) 26/04
Man Utd (4) : Porto (a) 15/04, bitters (n), Portsmouth (h) 22/04, Tottenham (h) 25/04
Extra rest for us over our next opponents and the mancs, in fact the mancs have to play four games in 11 days while we have only two. Hopefully they will find tonight demanding if not unrewarding, extra time against the bitters would be nice and maybe they'll suffer an injury or two. The one thing they could suffer from is complacency, trying to rest key players while challenging on all fronts could cost them as it nearly has in recent weeks. Even though they have won a couple of league games, they were far from convincing and desperate to win as the games went on.
Arsenal are a good side, but without some key players they are as vulnerable as we can be sometimes. They're nine points behind us, but still in with a shout at TWO trophies that we're out of. I hope they stay in both cups and ease up in the league with a reasonable cushion to fifth and no great gain from pushing for third. Arsenal play all the teams above them between now and the end of the season, home games against Stoke and Boro will hopefully see them see off villa and confirm their fourth place.
