Really solid win here to grab all 3 points, was a really boring but tough game especially after our early goal, Newcastle were 19th with 0 wins going into this but i always knew it would be hard to hold them off but we managed to do just that with a couple close calls throughout the game.

Another really hard match, Tottenham are the only team still unbeaten in the league so i went into this one rather excited to try and recreate another Liverpool type of result but it wasn't to happen, Tottenham will be kicking themselves as they probably should of won this to be fair but they just couldn't get past in form McCarthy who saved us a point.

Went into this one only 1 point ahead of West Ham and they had only lost one game all season, was the first game all season i started out with a rather attacking mentality as confidence was high and we had home advantage and it paid off great smashing in 4 goals with a great performance from both Mutch and Long but then this happend....

Up against West Ham again back to back and with a much weaker team they had the upper hand the full game but we some how defy the odds again and come from a goal down with Balanta scoring his first goal for the club to grab us the winner in a dramatic end to the game. Bolasie got taken off injured also near then end...

Cant complain really, only negative is the injuries which im sure we will see take effect over the next month or so but im hoping they dont effect us too much, for me a top 10 finish is great anything other than that isnt going through my mind at the moment.

Bournemouth were dead last going into this one and it was much tougher to brake them down, they played very defensive the whole game causing us very little problems when they went forward, very happy we managed to grab all 3 points here with Chung-Yong jumping off the bench to grab us the win and to keep the great form going. Puncheon took a knock though to add to the already massive pile of injuries.

Apart froma slow start we played really well and had more than enough solid chances to score 2-3 so its a little annoying we had to settle for 1 point, many positives from this one none the less although i feel our injury problem is finally taking effect on the team.

We have been pretty known this season for being in high scoring games which is good and bad and this game was no different against a Norwich team that arent very far behind us in the table and they showed why in this game, we fought back from 2-0 down to grab all 3 points which was amazing given our quality in the side and the awful start.

Sort of mixed emotions after this one, went 2-0 down like the last game and managed to slide our way back into the game but we just couldn't hold on. Did everything i could to hold on to the point but had a feeling no matter what i did they would somehow score and they did just that with Ledley forgetting which way he was shooting.

Swansea won fairly easy here, put very weak side out and knew our chances of winning were very slim, we have over passed expectations in the cup so wasnt too fussed to see us lose here, just made sure the lads didnt lose much morale over it and we will move on quickly.

YES! delighted with this result, ourselves and Everton went into this on level points so knew to come out on top would be very tough but we win it no other way than a late goal from one of our substitutes, really nice stat to see also we have won 5 out of last 5 away games, really solid 3 points, very chuffed especially with Arsenal and Chelsea coming up.

Chelsea are actually behind us in the table and have had a rather rocky season so far but magically had a stormer today and completely destroyed us for most parts of the game, funny that. This was also our first game we failed to score in 11 of our previous matches.

Some tough games still left, especially away from home. Its going to be a rather interesting second half to the season i think.

Great story so far! Unlucky with the injuries, Bolasie was doing really well for you.
Even with the injuries you are still in the top 4, fantastic!
Keep it up , hopefully see you in the champions league in the not too distant future

Went out with more of an attacking approach and it worked well dominating the first half, told the lads to stay focused for the second and they did the complete opposite! luckily we saved the blushes and grabbed all 3 points before it got messy! very tight game.

Was more annoyed we had to replay this one so when we lost after dominating them the first time around it was tough to take, slow start cost us and all we can do now is focus on getting results in the league, hopefully now our fixtures will be a little kinder with less competitions to participate in.

Was itching to smash Watford here but was rather surprised with how much we struggled, we did have an amazing chance in stoppage time but we couldn't grab the winner and settled for 1 point against a Watford side very low in the table, little worried this might be the start of some real poor form...

Still performing way above what i was expecting, top 6 is looking very doable if we get results this half of the season like we did the first half, Cabaye missed this whole month and it took effect in the midfield, he will be back for the next match which is really good as we need to get back to winning ways asap after a rocky end to the month. As for transfers this month nobody left or came in, tried to offload dead weight but nobody was interested and i was going to bring in some loanees and free contracts but our wage is in the red....oops!

Same story as the Watford game last month, Villa came out and played much better than expected and in the end we had to settle for a draw, its games like this one and Watford that we have managed to turn into 3 points rather than 1 and its probably why we find ourselves doing so well. Im not complaining though!
