With a 7 point gap plus GD now in our favour I'm going to say this is all but done now. It would take an unprecedented dip in form to miss out from here.
All but done? Not even half way through the season. Nowhere near all but done.
Take your point, but if you look at the gaps - we could be 13-odd points ahead of Spudz and the Jaudis, 8 ahead of Yernited, if results go our way next weekend - you’d think that those sides would not be able to make up gaps like that over the second half of the season.
Bar catastrophe, of course. But we’re too well managed for that, surely?
I suppose that saying that at this juncture in the season could look like overconfidence, tempting fate, counting chickens, etc.
Alternatively, it might just be that that’s how it feels to genuinely
be one of the “big four” (or five, or whatever), rather than the perrenial outsider?
