8 points clear

I genuinely believe without sounding arrogant that we could win it by April and win it overall by about 15 to 20 points.

I'm also feeling quietly smug and happy at the moment... however, there's a long way to go.

Thought that last season. Then we finished 15 points behind Chelsea. Still ages to go, but it's looking good, providing Delph isn't out for too long (we're wafer thin at the back).

Feels good :)

Don't think the Delph situation is serious.
He walked off on his own accord after the hand shakes. I think he got a dead leg but the fact he didn't get stretchered off is positive.

Text a rag mate of mine this, he called me a ****, was still in work and had taped it, I tried to calm the situation telling him at least they'd got into the chavs half once or twice, this seemed to enrage him even more, shame ;-)

Me too. It was invented by a woman, I think she was called Jenny Cann. It's a really good visual representation of the reality of relative league positions

Absolutely pal. Good to show where teams are bunched up around a particular point (or not!)

didn't the rags win by 18 points once? That would be a good target to p!ss them off even more!

Chelsea & Spurs now our biggest challengers, United will put themselves out of the race before our derby IMO.

Spurs have a NLD which they might fuck up, otherwise they'll probbably only drop a few points between now and our game with them in December.

Chelsea are incredibly reliant on Kanté, if he stays fit they'll be someone we need to keep an eye on, but if he goes, so will they. The Liverpool game is going to be a really hard one for them with Mané back Liverpool are a completely different side.


Our biggest challenge now is just to keep things going. Every passing game that we're 8 points ahead, the gap gets more imposing. We may drop points, but unless we seriously lose form, the opposition will drop more and the gap will grow.

Remembering we also have a massive GD advantage, United and Tottenham are closer to Brighton, Watford and Huddersfield than us.

If we win the next 4 - 43 points.

Its probably been said, but win the next 4 and we're safe.
