Beef Bagel

I think a win yesterday really would have been jam on the bagel after the previous two wins against Arsenal and Chelsea. If we’d been offered 6 points from the 3 games before we had played them I think we’d have taken them – I reckoned on about 4.

It has been a rollercoaster season. Some real highs and some stupid lows – some games against strugglers and defeats in the Carling Cup and FA Cup semi-final that needn’t have happened. We’re still 4^th with 3 games to go which is not what we had expected at the start, but a Carling Cup or FA Cup would have been nice.

What depresses me is that after a few good performances there’s talk of stalkers for good players but we have to break out of that cycle.

Where have we been – we’ve been around. The Bagel moved into new premises early in the year, nearer the ground, but managed to miss the Chelsea game? I was at the Portsmouth home game – good for 15 minutes – the first time at WHL in a long time. I tried to wave to the Bagel. Have I gone deaf or don’t they play McNamara’s Band when the team runs out these days – that might help bring back the glory days? No peanuts anymore?

Now our expectations are raised – can we finish in the top 4, although winning the Champions League might be a bit of a stretch? Can Harry take us on from here and strengthen the squad even more?

Yes, it’s been a good season, but at the moment I think only the Europa Cup is guaranteed.

COYS.
