    It's obvious we're scared of no-one now ...

    ... quite a change from being scared of everyone.

    Obviously the winning streak cannot go on forever, although hopefully for 13 more league games would be good.

    Why? Why can we not do a Man C albeit in a lower league? Last night we extracted the urine out of a promotion challenger without getting out of 2nd gear.
    Bayern Munich will be asking for the video of that last night to see how they can improve :emoticon-0111-blush

    Portsmouth were put forward as our bogey team, a wounded animal, a dangerous rival, etc etc etc ...

    ... and, by the end, our players were laughing at them.

    Great to see.

    I know I keep saying it but there are no outstanding teams.

    The Sky pundits keep saying how Portsmouth were top at Christmas but are totally shyte.

    At least I think that's what they said.

    You've said 'no outstanding teams' a few times now . . . . after the last few games I'm happy to say that I beg to differ :emoticon-0105-wink:

    That's fair enough but we were dreadful for 45 minutes at Crewe.

    What's needed at the moment is bloody mindedness and determination rather than anything else.

    I honestly hope this is our year, but unlike previous years the bigger picture looks positive regardless. I will say this, we're absolute juggernauts at the minute and long may it continue.

    Good point mate, we can all sense there's a change in our attitude ...

    ... Sunderland look like we can beat anyone.

    exactly that, and for me putting Sunderland on the right footing with the focus on the long term is more important than the short term. Promotion would be an absolute bonus and it's now in our hands but that wasn't always the case.
