Such a huge statement of intent that I could not have hoped to achieve beforehand. Marvellous scenes and well played Mr Skalak such a sublime crosser of a football both on the run and deadball. Fantastic.

Last season we were exceptional at dispatching lesser teams with ease - more so post January and the additions of Jiri and Knockaert - and then mainly not losing to the competitors - Burnley...
