Very impressive United comeback. I would say it surprised me, but it's not like they haven't done it plenty of times before!

Something pretty extraordinary eh. What a comeback! I totally called it at half-time though

Now, if only the latics could finish a season's double over Spurs as well...I think we're the only team who've won at White Hart Lane this season in any competition, which gives me hope, but I'll be happy with a point from this game and the next (Cheslki away). The last stretch of games after that look slightly more winnable on paper, and I think another 10 points is what's gonna beat the drop this time round.

Hehe I saw the odds come up at half time, 11-1 for a United win, and I was very tempted by the thought I have to say.

I think two points from those two games would be good results for your lot. Who do you have for the remainder of the run in? Any winnable fixtures, excluding us at the SOL?

)

^ A few pretty vital 6-pointers there then, and I fancy the chances of getting something from Everton and Stoke too. It's never that simple though eh.

Goalless at half-time, Wigan playing pretty well in defence and midfield...not bad then. Wouldn't have minded it Rodallega didn't handball like a moron when he was clean through on goal about 5 minutes ago.

All it takes is one stupid mistake from any one of the lads though...

Mojo · 04-02-2011, 10:07 AM

West Ham is your second to last fixture? Damn, that could be good.

Last home game of the season as well. There's a good chance I'll be grabbing tickets to see that too. It's almost been 5 years now since I last saw the latics at their own ground, so it's about time I did really.
