We'll beat Hull, Leeds and Coventry and splutter over the line with a few more points elsewhere, leaving it all to the last games of the season v Leeds and Coventry.
It's what we do! Always bank on the ones we have no real right to win.
I like Dykes and the fact that he played the end of last season after having severe pneumonia. That showed guts and commitment. I like that he continues to play through things but for god sake fella put the ball in the net on a day that isn't your birthday or against Reading.
He tends to dive around a bit but he is a very good player. He has Wegerle moments but not that often. As a human being he always seems very cultured and down to earth. For all the abuse he seems to get as a footballer for his occasional antics I really like him as a person. The podcasts are very amusing and well thought out.
Blimey BOS summoning the spirit of young Mike Tyson there. That's one hell of a right hook. Knocks the guys about 6 feet back on his ar*e. Fair play BOS. They are mental out there.
Cook for me and if we keep Hayden next season then he'd be the vice captain. Both give us so much more on the pitch. Cook is a revelation. Richard Dunne mk2.
One way traffic. We looked like a frustrated side trying to get into the play off and Sunderland looked like they'd been relegated. Willock's miss is well saved, just couldn't get the angle. Anderson, who really looks class really should have leathered the first half chance into the corner. Armstrong working hard and so fast that half the time he was miles ahead of the support. A useful point in the kind of game we usually lose and a dominant display without any real ruthlessness.
Two things of note.
1. Who has turned Jimmy Dunne into Johan Cruyff on the ball? It's a quite remarkable turnaround in his all round ability and play.
2. What a lovely touch from Armstrong to give the Sunderland kid his jersey at the end and shake hands with their fans, who obviously appreciated his performance.
Nike must be the most unimaginative kit designers on the planet. Almost every kit feels like the design department gets in at about 10.30am, has a coffee, does about 15 minutes work (yeah that'll do) and then spends the next 8 hours having a silent disco party and lots of sex.
