stoke's a hard nut to crack. i'm glad we got this one out of the way early on. we are going to have some real tough home games in the second half of the season. Stoke, United, Citeh, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton.
We also have an interesting home game with the Hammers after Arsenal so this is probably the worst possible fixture list in recent time.
You could say that, but then again, should we do well with these away fixtures to the top sides, we’ll be set up nicely for the second half of the season, when we traditionally do well. Personally I’d rather have the top sides at home in the second half and preferably in the run in, as you know what you have to do, and it limits complacency. The fact that we did our business early in the transfer window, is advantage to us, and therefore best to get the tough away games sorted sooner rather than later.
