Super Sunday brings maximum Irons interest
How long is it since we have been able to talk Europe, Europe and more Europe rather than looking over our shoulders at the relegation places at this time of the year?
Yesterday’s win was brilliant with some of the second half football as good as anything we have seen from our fab team this season.
It was notable for me when Dimi Payet, for the first time in a while, really ran at defenders, beat his man and laid on a wonderful pass which allowed Andy Carroll to supply Noble’s goal assist.
That ensured we lifted ourselves into fifth place and today we become Swansea supporters at lunchtime and cheer on Leicester City.
Swansea can do us a favour by beating Liverpool which would ensure that Liverpool remain four points behind us whilst the Foxes can become champions and ensure we remain ahead of Manchester United on goal difference.
These are very special times – this time last season we had been in freefall for weeks and weeks so our position this year is beyond remarkable.
To be in this position is something I never imagined I would see in my lifetime and today’s feast of football is very special because it all has a direct effect on the mighty Irons.
