The Top of the League Thread

Yes but we could also be in a much worse position.
Where not, be happy about it.

Your mentality is one of 'its the taking part that counts'.

Mine is one of the 'second is nothing' theory.

No it is not.
And we aren't second, we are first. So what is the problem?
91 other teams want to be in our position including Utd and Chelsea

The problem is that failing to win 44% of your home games will not win you the title.

No PL trophies are handed out in December.

Our position is brilliant, but with our inability to win enough at home, we wont maintain it long.

[Mattshark]

And don't be so arrogant to assume you know how I feel.

No does failing to win 66% of your away games, what is your point. We are top, their not.

And despite this, we have gone from being level on points to a point clear in that time.

I never made any reference to how you 'feel'.

You 'say', however, that there's no problem. I disagree.

Did I say there is not a problem? I am saying don't pessimistic or negative. Enjoy our best ever premiership start.

How many teams win the league by failing to win 44% of their home games?

Do you think our home form, as it is now, is good enough to win this title?

If you could answer the questions i'm asking, rather than addressing different points to the ones i've raised, i'd be grateful.

Why is it negative to say that we should've won those four games, and that we need to do so on a regular basis, to win the title?

As for your question, well...

No it is not.
And we aren't second, we are first. So what is the problem?

Apparently it is since we have produced a gap.

I think nearly everyone can acknowledge that there is a problem in our home games at the moment. Not everyone though chooses to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it.

I just am completely put off from posting in the football forum at the moment.

[Mattshark]

Erm...

That is not saying their is no problem (in terms of scoring goals). But you have all but given up on us winning the league while we are top. That is insane.

[Craig_H]

Apparently it is since we have produced a gap.

Failing to win 44% of home games is good enough to win the league, because we're top in December, less than halfway through?

Well at present yes. It clearly is. If it wasn't we wouldn't be top, we wouldn't have the second best home record.
Especially as you using a stat that only covers what we have played.
