Not being funny Rev, but i don't want to finish 2nd, i would rather go out and be saved the embarrassment of having our arses handed to us by Real Madrid or Barcelona.
many feared the worst when we drew real madrid in 05/06
after an abject performance losing 3-2 at home to west ham and a last minute goal from gilberto to rescue a point at home to bolton.
it turned into a famous night in the clubs history
the fact that these games would be in feb and a lot can happen in a week in football let alone 3 months
suggests that it is better to hang on in there always
i have seen this club win in too many adverse circumstances ever to feel the way that you do
stickability always
Not being funny but Real Madrid are a different beast now, managed by a man who knows us inside out.
I never feared the worst when facing them OR Juve.
