Arsenal were very beatable... United were very beatable... Liverpool were very beatable....

I hope Mancini realizes that he actually REALLY has to play for a win in both these games now or he will look like a right moron if he plays for the draw again.

I believe he is saying to the players that this is showtime--let's go for it. Nothing else would make sense (at least to me).

We HAVE to win these two - anything less and we'd hand it to Spuds or Villa!

And I allways suffer from blind optimism unless we're 1-0 up ...

It depends whether or not the team is sent out to win the games.

They havnt been sent out with that brief for the last 2, thats for sure.

And villa and spurs are probably currently in better form than scum/gunners.

Ill go for 2 points and hope management prove that im the negative one, not them.

Mancini to learn from his past mistakes. A cagey win against Villa before we truly and comprehensively payback Spurs for 81.

If we drop French Pat for these games and go a little bit more attacking minded in midfield then I see no other reason as to why we cannot get all 6 points. I think Nielson will give us a shock and play two blinding games, If ever was a time to prove your worth this is it.

Yup all 6 points and go into the last game secured fourth spot.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

I'm sure Mancini will go for this (well, no I'm not but I BELIEVE he will).

I've gone for 6 points & provided there's no goalkeeping comedy, I'm not just being blindly optimistic, I genuinely recon we'll win both.

watching Villa, they were on the verge of crumbling when they got the non-penalty.. in fact they had actually started crumbling.. heads were going down and the frustration was really showing.

We need to go at them and stick one in the back of the net, then we can sit back and try and control the game as much as you like Mr Mancini. please note.

4 points for me...I'm the opposite of a lot of you

I personally think we will comfortably beat spurs and draw with Villa

As has been "ridiculously" and "pointlessly" mentioned several times in this thread, we can beat both these teams if we let the players play to their strengths and attack the shit out of them.

If we set out as we did against Arsenal and United then we can expect another one point for our troubles.

So I'll vote for 6 in the hope that we go for it.

If we play like we did against Arse and Rags in other words bottle it we wont get a point.

If we throw the shackles off and go for it,we have the ability to get all 6.

I fear we won't get the six points needed. I no longer trust Bobby to send out a team to do the correct job. Why oh why did we play so negatively at The Arse. A free go at them, when half their team was out, and we play for a fucking useless point. It has left us with no room for the slightest error.
