Trying to find a bookies that will take me up on this – but I genuinely believe that we could see Avram Grant take the manager of the month award for October, and find ourselves sitting fairly pretty in the league.

Not to mention in the quarter-final of the Carling Cup. Stoke at home is certainly winnable.

Then take a look at our remaining fixtures in the month: Wolves away, Newcastle at home. If we win/draw those games & the Stoke game then we’ll be playing Arsenal away on the back of a 7-game unbeaten run….anything could happen. Take Arsenal v West Brom as an example.

Maybe I’m clutching at straws and I could be made to look very silly very quickly – but there’s been far too much negativity around the place this season

COYI!
