I'm getting a bit worried about Bournemouth pipping us for the title. How have they got so good so quick?

it's okay: after we've taken Solanke and Kelly from them in January they'll return to their expected place in the hierarchy.

Just feels like tonight is a bit of a statement game in terms of aspirations of being in the very higher reaches of the league.  We go there tonight, put in a good performance and win then I think it will give us a real boost of confidence.

Problem is we've had a few games like this, especially away from home. It's only a matter of time before results start to match performance.

Change the thread title at least, the 'T' word in there has been a lightning rod to the wrath of the gods.

Opta are giving us a 2.2% chance of winning the title, which suits me fine, Man City 55.3%. Liverpool 26.7%, Arsenal 15.4% after last night and Spurs 0.3%, sadly I think they're gonna be proved right about Man City.

I think we've got as much chance as anyone that isn't Man City, ie none.

So another 30 points from 18 games should see us in 5th place at the very least (based on the last 6 seasons final tables).
Surely we should be able to manage that, having averaged over 2pts per game for over a year now?

Two points ahead of where Leicester were after 20 matches in 15/16.
