I have just been looking over our last four Premier League games. Obviously, we have drawn four from four and have therefore dropped a possible 8 points. We may sit 4th in the table but that is only because results have gone our way. Although the Fulham and Birmingham games were extremely frustrating, the other two games were pretty decent results. Aston Villa & Wigan: I was pleased with the draw...
