Morning all

Happy Sunday

Hope everyone is well. How are we feeling about the start we've had? I must say I'm not too disheartened about the fact we have dropped lately, having played Man City, Spurs, Everton and Chelsea things could be so much worse.

We've already had some brilliant moments to savour, of course Man City at home will never be forgotten and I was lucky enough to have been at Craven Cottage to see THAT strike by Mutch. Speaking of Mutch, I'm glad to see him performing the way he is, he's such a talent and could well be our star performer this campaign. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Kim play in tandom, which is what I believe Malkay is ultmately working towards.

I do believe we will survive this season, but we are carrying a couple of players at the moment, namely Gunnarsson and Cowie, two players who I respect and admire, but don't think they quite have it for this level. Aron's touch and composure lets him down and whilst Cowie has an engine and is a fighter, he doesn't posess Premier Lague qualities.

As an aside I'm absoutely loving Ramsey's form for club and coutry, it finally looks as though he's coming of age and although I always knew he had it in him, there have been times when I have doubted whether he would ever show his true potential. His touches and skill at the moment is reminding me of Zidane, not to say that he's anywhere near the great one...yet :)

Weyhey, Welcome bk caldi,.... That is all!!!

As you say, we've had two moments already this season to cherish. I expect us to be in the bottom three by the end of the month, but still massively confident we can survive with a fair few points to spare.

As for Ramsey, I think it's too soon to compare him to Messi - Messi needs to improve on certain aspects of his game before being compared to the Welsh maestro

Welcome back on caldi, we've missed my friend.  

Welcome back Mr Caldi!

I'm developing quite the man-crush for Ramsey at the moment  His goal (and assist) yesterday was sublime and he made it all look so effortless too.

You could be right with the first comment......however, although we have an "easier" run in towards the end of the season, losing is not a good habit to get into.  I am not sure how robust Malky's team ethic and team morale will be if we don't pick up a couple of wins very soon.

There are certainly no easy games but the Fulham victory gives me hope that City can compete with the lesser lights of the Premier League.
Need to pick up wins against relegation rivals (especially at home), anything else is a bonus.
