How many points will be needed to win the league?

It's still too early to tell - but we're looking like the prime candidate to win the league.

Credit to Arsenal, too. They haven't clicked yet (they played quite poorly in all 4 games), but they've got 10 points on the board. I'm interested to see how their Champions League games interfere (or not).

They’ve beaten Burnley Bournemouth and a totally misfiring rags team. They’ve lost Kane’s 30 goals a season and his talismanic presence in the dressing room. They’ll be lucky to finish top 6.
 
I'd caveat our (Arsenal) good start with the fact that 3 of our 4 games have been at the Emirates. All 4 games (Forest, Fulham, Man Utd at home, Palace away) I'd have expected us to win so I see us as 2 points below 'par' as it stands.

Next 3 league matches are away at Everton, home to Sp*rs, away at Bournemouth and 'par' is 9 points from those games as well.

After that it is home to Man City and I guess 'par' is a draw but we need to win that realistically as we'll get bukkake'd in the reverse fixture at the Etihad. After City is away at Chelsea and Newcastle with a home game against Sheffield United so a very tough 3 games out of 4 (assuming Chelsea stop being shit at some point in the near future).

Fuck me that's some big assumption right there given Chelsea seem to have found Ed woodwards manual on how to run a football club and are copying it.

Par is a draw ? We beat you home and away in the league last year and knocked you out of a cup
Oh yes you’ve won the Charity shield with a deflected equaliser in what 109 minutes then won on penalties
Ok I’ll take a draw
Just make sure you have a 15 point lead come February we only start playing properly in March
Good luck
 
I saw an article where Walker mentioned he'd spoken to the players about the fact they're always chasing and that they should go out and take the league by the scruff and run away with it.

Mentally the lads all seem well up for it. Rather than fatigue and a lack of interest after the treble I've seen plenty mention the only way to feel as good is to do it again, or better it.

They're bang up for it, we've started well and whilst we've had favourable fixtures we're looking in much better shape physically and tactically than we usually do at this stage of the season. Probably because we've had a proper pre-season this year.

Yes so we need to improve on that and I would doubt the bookies would have City as favourite to win at the Emirates, most likely 7/4 or something like that, probably Arsenal 5/4 and the draw similar
