Very cool. And my point still stands.
You were saying? Chelsea, Arsenal, Forest, and BHA all tied and only 1 point up on Fulham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa. Arsenal were one of the title favorites and even in the game today they repeatedly mentioned their "title challenge".

I get you say that because we’ve said it in the past. It’s way too early. City have shown they can run down teams even if they’re 8-10 points out.

City will always be the favorite as long as it’s within range.

Didn’t watch a single second of the game, because I’m visiting friends in upstate NY and the spectre of a torrentially rainy afternoon meant we moved our 30 mile bike ride into the morning.

Was certain we’d lose this, glad we didn’t.

That was the last game of the toughest stretch of the campaign. 6 points from 5 is not ideal, but definitely could’ve been worse.

Here to the halfway mark, we play the teams in:

15th (A)
9th (H)
20th (A)
10th (A)
11th (H)
16th (A)
7th (H)
17th (A)

The season is shaping up relatively solidly. I continue to be happy with where things are.

It’s still early. No team ahead at 11 matches losing it chokes. But if they’re ahead at the halfway point with 5 points? As long as it’s not matches in hand?

Sure, choke job

I mean, they’ve actually won a league since then but who knows. Keep singing about it.

I’ve no problem in being the favorite. I don’t think they are but I would rather where Liverpool are than others. But not sure it’s favorites yet. But the Club’s position is solid on all fronts. But will need a lot of luck.

They're favourites with betting houses, ahead of City and Arsenal.

They are doing a bit because I said Arsenal choked when they did the following



I still stand by it. People can say what they want to say but there is still a long way to go. Need to see where we are at after the holiday period. And we are going to need to make signings in January to make up for the summer.

Either way really hard to complain about how the table looks now. Arsenal being behind by 9 looks bad, but they are probably about to start their run now. They aren’t done yet. And City is still City until they prove they aren’t.
