I wonder what Mariners fans would think about us angsting about possible failure against them. Their team hasn't won a game since Adam was a boy, their striker has run away from home, their star defender has gone loco, the players are dissing the coach, the club is in general turmoil and they are off to play away against a team that's on a 7 game unbeaten streak which beat them convincingly less than a month ago. Don't think they will be expecting much.
I don't think it will be a walk in the park either, just putting some context into things, ie, it's much nicer being a slightly angsty Nix fan than a desolate CCM fan. Mariners have big, big problems and will be struggling mentally to lift for this one.
