Well, Graeme Souness is reported to have told friends that he has six games to demonstrate that he's turned the team around:

Two REALLY tough games early.

Souey should know his fate after the Fulham match.

interesting...chelsea last home game again...

He might do well at the beginning, then start to fizzle out in the end. Remember when he had a run of 7 non-defeats when he first started? Look where we ended. Hopefully he'll have figured out how our players react to match results, in order to say the right things and keep them going.

Well if they can do halfway decent after taht first 6 or 7 game strtch they should be in for a good run when they hit the middle/bottom of the table teams. Hopefully I can get over to St James when there is actually a game this year :)

Who the hell gives a crap you have to play all the teams at some point does it really matter what order they come in?
