2025/26 Season

When was the last time someone had a 5 point lead after only 5 games? Can't happen often. Normally there's an unexpected team that gets off to a flyer.

Everyone else looks a bit crap again this season, it really is there for the taking. Still a tricky run of league games coming up and it can change quickly if we get complacent.

I have painful memories of the season with Houllier where we got off to a flyer - think we had a 5pt lead at the end of October. Pretty sure that season everyone was saying we were winning games without being at our best, the sign of champions etc

We then went on a two month winless run. 2002-03?

Will be tough but that's what champs do.

A point will be good but expect us to get the 3.

Palace are the only other unbeaten team in the League. Will be a battle.

They're unbeaten in 17 games or something like that - that's some record to knock over this weekend

Palace away is more than tricky, that's a genuine challenge. Glasner is clearly a top coach. We have our work cut out for us with this game. I think this will be our first dropped points of the season.

That's a quirky stat alright.

[Buzzo]

We were the only team from the 6 CL teams to get a win this weekend.

Imagine when we start playing well

[RedReet]

I agree. May as well save time and hand us the title now.

Looking at the table it’s hard to see anyone apart from Arsenal who could challenge and they have their issues with how they approach games. City could get their game back on track but currently don’t look like it. There will always be a team or two that surprise everyone and go on a run for a while like Forest last season then drop off.

If the team can keep improving and keep building momentum and building that winning mentality no matter how they play while picking up points it’s hard not to think they can win it like last season. We’ve already seen a steady improvement from game to game and it feels like it’s a matter of time until it all clicks together.

[Kenneth]

You love to see it.

[danperkins]

Yeah good manager, very well setup & they have quality.. it'll be a really tough game.

[BigChief]

Yet another tough game with Palace away next. They are doing really well. Another last minute winner then.

[peterbread]

Played some tough games too. Arsenal, Newcastle away, Bournemouth and Burnley.

Oh and Everton
