March on to 3 points in the game
That stat was always so stupid, and yet touted everywhere.. Failed to beat any of the clubs above them yet… Well when you're in fourth, not many clubs are above you, and we played them all away from home where combined they've lost what, 2 games at home all season? And one of those losses was against another in the top 3…
Anyway, great game. We are hard to beat at home. It's always the lesser games we struggle, like home to Villa and away to WBA. Those were rough points to lose, but we can beat anybody on our day, and when we play home to big clubs, we usually make sure it's our day. I could actually see us finishing above Arsenal now. I was worried we had so many home games against top clubs, which is an advantage for a title contending club, but for one going for fourth it can be bad to have all your home games hard when you need points there. Now, if we beat the likes if City and Chelsea at home, get at least a point at OT, we may well be fighting for third with our sites at least within distance of the title. We won't win the title, but we could be close.
I ramble when I'm extremely happy.
