I remember last season when we were crowned as the champions after 21 games and having an 8pt gap...turned out a lot closer than that didn't it! And we were only 3pts ahead after 19 games, so the gap swung and then closed in the blink of an eye.
I can't see them getting more than 40pts from the second half of the season. But can we pull ourselves together and get 90+?
Out of interest I had a look at the form of the previous highest points tally's across the first and second halves of the season. Expecting Arsenal to only get 40pts from the second half of the season seems crazy but when you reflect on the below, it's quite likely. No team has ever hit 50pts or more in both halves. But records are there to be broken of course! We need to really step it up if we're going to get 90pts though, but we do have the benefit of two games against the Arse to reel them in.
Chelsea 05/06 - 91pts (52/39)
Rags 99/00 - 91pts (45/46)
Dippers 21/22 - 92pts (44/48)
Chelsea 16/17 - 93pts (49/44)
City 21/22 - 93pts (47/46)
Chelsea 04/05 - 95pts (46/49)
Dippers 18/19 - 97pts (51/46)
City 18/19 - 98pts (44/54)
Dippers 19/20 - 99pts (55/44)
City 17/18 - 100pts (55/45)
