Relatively easy?!
Away to Newcastle United isn't usually easy.
Home to Crystal Palace - with Tony Pulis having them battling to avoid relegation - will be hard work.
I don't think we ever have any easy fixtures.

'I don't think we ever have any easy fixtures.'

We have still got to play Manchester United at home. You can't get easier than that mate.

I guess easy might have been the wrong word and I did forget about the newcastle game but I don't think crystal palace will be that hard a game and we won newcastle away last 2 times didn't we I know we won it last season not too sure about the time 2 seasons ago but onwards and upwards and cut a noobie poster some slack :)

And I was kind of stressing the word relatively because I knew we had some reasonably hard games coming up but I think we can definately win them and that they aren't anything we can't handle

MinatoEFC: Welcome to you as a new poster :-)
By rights, we should have trounced Cardiff City at home - and we had enough of the game and created the chances - but their keeper had a great game, we didn't have our shooting boots on, and we needed two "lucky" attempts (a deflection and a mis-hit - whatever other posters might have written) to get our goals and the last-gasp victory.
Defensively, we've ridden our luck on several occasions this season and we've been caught out badly and exposed in a couple or so matches. Offensively, we just don't hit the target enough given the number of chances we create.
The possession and passing is lovely to watch - most of the time!
We just don't seem to win as comfortably and convincingly as we perhaps should considering how we play. That's why I don't see us having even relatively easy matches - whoever we are playing against.

Gabriel you're again spot on. Their keeper pulled off at least 5 world class saves (and that from a Scottish goalkeeper)! We could have won more comfortably than we did and after those early draws to the likes of Norwich, Palace and Cardiff, we were due a little luck. OK so it seemed like we huffed and puffed a bit at times, but look at the table. Ahead of UTD by 3 points with a game in hand and only 2 points below Spurs with 2 games in hand and a significant goal difference against both. 5th spot is on. Let's push for it.

Tbh United have got one of the best records away from home all season, would rather it of been at old Trafford again. I reckon we could do better than the 1-0 from last time
