Will we win the Premier League

We can dream while we're up there but right now the gap we're putting between us and the teams below is hopefully helping towards CL qualification.

I hope for the sake of mankind I hope we consign this xG bollocks to history by continuing to undermine the numbers with victories while playing well below the respected level.

This to me is the biggest benefit to the current run.  A title challenge is lovely while we can continue to dream about it, but realistically, our form isn't going to continue indefinitely with significant runs of consecutive wins - so from a club-building perspective, I want us to win a trophy, and qualify for the Champions League.  It looks like 5th will be good enough again, and we're currently 9 points clear of 6th - which is a great buffer to have.  Had we lost to Man Utd, that buffer would have been down to 4 points - that's how significant that result was for us.

I'll continue to enjoy our run for as long as possible, and revel in our unlikely title challenge, but I'll do it while keeping one eye on the gap to 6th...

We simply do not have the depth to win the league - we are a couple injuries away from having to draft in relatively inexperienced players (see the bench this weekend), whereas Arsenal / City / Chelsea have that strength.

But top 4 would be an amazing achievement, and continue the climb/momentum under UE.   

I’m not sure you can state something with such certainty then use something that might not happen as evidence.

We can loan/sign a couple more players in 8 days time.

A win at Chelsea would put us miles clear of them, and also put fuel on the fire of what is going on with Maresca and those above him. People talking about us being disruptors/agitators of the top four haven't been following the league much, as we have been amongst it for a while now. Liverpool losing Isak and Salah playing up/looking off it is also a bonus. For me Man City signing Cherki is a bit of a gamechanger for them, and I would expect them to go clear in the new year. The only way we could win the league is if we had another mad January window and bring in 2 real quality players, and be lucky with injuries. No reason we can't be top 3.

Re revenue, match tickets for Forest seem to be from £71 (North Stand) and up... that's surely higher than the last two seasons for the same game? Has it gone up by a Category level or are match-day tickets this season just generally higher?

It was seventy odd for Bournemouth, too.
