Our season arguably started at home to Fulham (or maybe away at Sunderland), I'd like to see the stats since then.

The next two games could be an indicator if we're serious title contenders or just in the hunt for Top 5.

At some point, we've got to break out of the 'just thankful to be here' mentality, and upgrade to 'We're as good as this lot, lets try and win it'. Neither team above us has taken a point off us this season, so on that fact alone, we HAVE to be in the race. If we win at Chelsea, we're TEN points clear of them. If we keep it going and do Arsenal next week...... HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!

That was a massive point that Onuoha was missing the other day when he was like "Villa have done a great run but are still third". We gave Plop a 12 point lead, Arse, Spurs and Bournemouth 7 points on us, and Chelsea and Citeh 5 and 4 respectively. We are now 3 behind Arse, 1 behind Citeh and currently staring at a 7 point gap down to Chelsea/Plop.

It was also a shit take from him when the table since Emery started was shown and we were fourth with the host stating "considering our resources" and he just pointed at the three teams who have done better not even acknowledging the expenditure they have done just this season compared to us, let alone the other seasons previously.

We won't win the league but will have a very good season. It'll be another top 5 season for the champions league and we'll finish either 3rd or 4th.

Well also win the Europa League too so all good fun.

Comparing results so far this year with equivalent games last season (swapped the relegated and promoted teams).

So far we're three points to the good.

I last saw that stat after 5 games and it was about -10. I honestly thought we'd completely fucked it, as where were those points, plus the extra we needed to improve on sixth, going to come from?

Turns out the answer was "just win every game, mate".
