Roy Hodgson has this unique knack of deflating you!
After our splendid win up at the Reebok I was hoping that we`d keep things ticking over by really having a go against Manchester United.
I don`t give a flying-fig about our result affecting the title race I just want to see three more points on our total.
But, after the Bolton game, Roy seems a little wary of our chances of beating United, espeically after those two heavy defeats, remarking,
‘I can’t stand here and say at the moment that our team is on a par with Manchester United because everyone knows it isn’t but we’ll give it our best shot.”
‘We’ll work very hard, but the Liverpool`s and the Chelsea`s who are chasing Manchester United can’t really expect that much of Fulham and think we’ll beat Manchester United for them.”
‘Those teams chasing must be realistic.”
‘The lead is still four points and Manchester United have a game in hand, which could stretch the lead to seven points, and seven points is a massive gap. I think everyone will realise the chance is slim.’
Stuff the rest Roy, do it for ourselves!
