Can we win the League?

[magicalbarnes]

It's more a case of having dropped TOO MANY home points, rather than selective games that i'm looking at. It just so happens that we dropped too many home points because of specific games, such as WHU, Fulham, Stoke, Hull etc.

I dont know the exact home record history, but i wouldn't be surprised i this is our highest points haul at Anfield since the Premiership began.

To be fair ManU have been on a phenomenal run, winning 16 of their last 18 league games.

But thats football, what you are basically saying is those out of those 7 draws lets say we turn them into 5 wins so we should be on nearer 90pts now?

i just dont believe this team is good enough this season to amass over 100pts in the premiership which you are saying we should have?

Be prepared to be very surprised:

92-93 - 43 points (from 21 home games) - champions got 47
93-94 - 40 points (from 21 home games) - champions got 48
94-95 - 44 points (from 21 home games) - champions got 53
95-96 - 46 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 49
96-97 - 36 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 41
97-98 - 41 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 47
98-99 - 35 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 46
99-00 - 37 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 49
00-01 - 43 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 47
01-02 - 41 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 40
02-03 - 35 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 50
03-04 - 34 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 49
04-05 - 40 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 47
05-06 - 48 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 55
06-07 - 46 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 47
07-08 - 42 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 52
08-09 - 40 points (from 19 home games) - champions got 46 (SO FAR)

So if you assume that we'll beat Spurs and end up on 43 home points for this season, it'll actually only be our 5th ever highest points haul from home games, in Premier League history.

It's plain to see that our home form is not good enough to win the league and during the 17 Premier League seasons there has been, we've only really amassed a title-winning amount of home points on 3 occasions.

How am i saying we should have amassed over 100 points?

I have no idea where you've got that from.

becuase if you turn 5 out of the 7 draws at home and we win our last few games which we probably will we would have ended up on 100pts, i think

96 surely?

But it was you who said turn 5 of the draws into wins, not me.

For the record, if we did that, we'd have 87 points now. Add 9 for winning the last 3 games, and it'd be 96.

Not EVEN 100, let alone 'over 100' points.

But i never said anything about 5 of the draws, nor 100 points.

96 surely?

Dont ruin it for him, Vorderman

friday lunchtime stella for you

[Craig_H]

In any other circumstances, there'd be no forgiving you. But Friday afternoon Stella is the only exception

Looking at those stats, Rafa deserves a lot of credit. He has a better home record for us than any other of our managers since 92.

Why assume that? they're 1 of only 2 teams to beat us in the league this season so it's hardly a foreskin conclusion!
