We also took a point at Wolves so equalled Newcastle and bettered Spurs with their results at Molineux. Honestly I think our away form is overblown by the pessimists. You don't have to win 12-13 away to finish top 4 so we're still on track as something like 8 wins might be enough. We've also got Newcastle and Liverpool out of the way already while someone like Man. United has both of them away in the next month. Right up to the new year is a huge period for us now. Not just to stay 4th but actually establish decent point gaps over a few rivals. Today's win also means we can withstand dropped points at home. Getting 40 points by halfway stage would be a huge statement and I think it's very realistic. Beat Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Burnley and we only need another win from the other games so actually could do better than that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Newcastle and Liverpool away in their next four games so that will balance out us playing Man. City and Arsenal. I also fancy us to get a similar result today when we go to Old Trafford. Very confident on that one this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 We would have been five points clear of fifth place with 28 points at this stage last season. Interestingly Newcastle have just one point less now than they had this time last season, but are four places further down the league, and Man Utd who are seen as having a bad season actually have one point more than they did after thirteen games last season, Spurs have the same amount of points as at this stage last season. We were on twelve points, joint eighteenth with Southampton, we actually had the same goal difference as them too, so we were only outside the relegation zone by goals scored 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Is that 77vpoibts from 38 games for us? Since Unai took over? We are on course for something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Unless i am being thick the title is still in our own hands. If we win the next 3 we will be top of the league. Long time since we could say that eh..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I’d love it if we can get top at least once this season. Top 5 is a very realistic possibility now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 is a very realistic possibility now. Yeah I’d take just once, ideally after the 38th game In all seriousness, I think in order for us to be top even just briefly, we’d need to beat Bournemouth, and pick up four points from Citeh and Arsenal. Just doing that wouldn’t be enough, but it would keep the possibility alive. Should Citeh beat us I would imagine that’s that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
