I have to say, I think that fixture changes are something we must accept due to the fact we are now one of Europe’s ‘biggest’ clubs.
It could in fact be a blessing in disguise. If Manchester United have managed to pick up all three points in their particular fixture, the nature of our current crop of players would presumably mean that they would pull together and equal United’s result.
What I worry about is the opposite happening. Harking back to last season when we were still in with a shout of claiming the title, we were playing Bolton and United were up against Everton. When they went one-nil down, we appeared to switch off and ended up drawing, in contrast United pulled their socks up and went on to claim all three points.
I pray that if United lose or draw their particular encounter, we don’t switch off and let the chance of bringing the title home convincingly slip away.
Right now however, let’s all hope Arsenal do us a favour this weekend.
