After we play Arsenal away, there is only one more London game left in the league.

It's not much consolation that it's against Tottingham but there you go.

Out of five London games last season we picked up ZERO points.

Out of four so far this season we have picked up TWO points.

I have to say that is a VAST improvement.

It's an improvement, though i fear visits at Leeds and Manchester well as much. We did take 3 points at Elland road last year, but i'm far from convinced that the same will happen again. As for Man U i think they will strike back in some fashion, if not in the same old fashion.

Dunno. Leeds seem to be maddeningly inconsistent as ManU, so I'm not as convinced we'll lose at either place this season. If either or both are 'on' when we play, we really don't stand much chance other than dumb luck(it could happen!). Otherwise, we tend to raise our game for them so we could well squeak a point or 3 from each one. I'm far less optimistic about any of our remaining London matches and the sooner they're out of the way (and Soton away!), the happier I'll be. ;-)

I thought we'd already played Soton away, but I could, very easily, have been dreaming?

Manure? Middle of the league team with a leaky defense. Nay bother!

Bud, nah - last game of the season. What better way to end it than visiting the All New Worst Ground In The Land :-)
