Title: Best side in Europe
Post by: Mellin on October 10, 2020, 03:49:14 PM: Statistically, for now at least. Worth shouting about whilst it lasts I think.

Still going strong.

It works on averages. Villa win our game in hand and we're top, which combined with performances so far gives us the lead.

Whoscored is taken seriously, and whilst we're (possibly) not the best team in Europe, I'm going to enjoy this whilst it lasts.
