The Top of the League Thread

[Craig_H]

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.

To quote someone...

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.

I'm not talking about being top in December, i'm on about winning the league.

And teams who win only just over half their home games, dont win the league.

No I was judging it on your post prior to the Chelsea - West Ham game.

In 2 hours time, we wont be top anymore, so that chestnut will be out the window.

So hang on you are using a stat that is only relevant at present to say it is not good enough to win the league despite the fact that we are at present, top of the league.

So where is you point exactly?

Is that equivalent to 'giving up on the league' ?

You still dont get my point?

Our current ratio at home equates to winning 10.64 home league games by the end of the season. Let's call it 11. And it equates to drawing 8.36. Let's call it 8.

Do you think 41 home points is likely to result in a title win?

It gave that aire. (and I did say "all but", which does make a difference).

[Craig_H]

I most certainly havent given up.

Ironically enough, if i had, i probably wouldnt be so upset at drawing home games against Hull, Stoke, West Ham and Fulham.

Try enjoying looking down on every other team instead.

[Craig_H]

I do enjoy that Matt. It doesnt mean much yet though.

God forbid if anyone in Shanks team was celebrating being top before halfway.

Not celebrating, but it is the best we have done in 18 years. Keep a positive frame of mind.

[Craig_H]

No doubting it's the best we've had for a while. I'd have liked it to be better though.

Yeah but all the chasing teams will be thinking the same only they are not top to cheer them up.

Yes, and then we're back to the argument about them making up the lost points when they play the ****e sides at home, whilst we're away at United, Pompey, Boro etc.
