A reality check would indeed be a good thing. I went to the match. Couldn't believe my ears..........some of our fans were actually chanting Houllier's name. Unbelievable. Yes, a great result, and we were due a bit of luck. We did well to hold on.
However, the basics don't change. Our track record against the teams who finished above us last year, with games played last season and this season (United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle) reads as follows;
Played 13
Won 2 (both against Chelsea)
Drawn 4
Lost 7.
10 points out of 39.
Don't intend to be a killjoy. Just let's keep a sense of perspective. Great result. Doesn't change the fact that we've got the wrong manager. Don't believe for a minute that we have turned a corner!!
