So if we lose then The Mancs ,The Arse and Chelsea win are we then out of the title race, or doesn't it work both ways? I agree that these are games we need to get something from (preferably a win) if we are to challenge for the title but to suggest a win in the middle of September is going to win the league for you is daft,whether it is against Portsmouth or Man U for that matter.
The league is a marathon not a sprint and if this season we can avoid a Paula Radcliffe, no not stopping by the side of the road for a crap!
but falling away before the finish then yes this game will have been important, but what would be the point of winning tomorrow then losing our next one? A win Saturday for me means we are improving our consistency, Sunderland Villa and hopefully Pompey are all nice wins that will tally up for next May(or April hopefully
) and not title decider's in early Autumn.
