Unfortunate to drop down to 9th. Was hoping we could beat Villa and get that 5th spot. Most of our upcoming games should be winnable as well. We could have been top 5 during Christmas.
Guess I shouldn’t have been so optimistic.

Just keeping half an eye on Sheffield United goals conceded. That is a record that I’d be happy for Swindon to get rid of…

Spurs’s start is impressive but I wouldn’t get carried away just yet. They’ve only played one game against top opposition (which they won under dubious circumstances) and their other wins have come against relegation fodder and bottom half teams.
Also -and the fact that they can focus fully on the league with no Europe is hiding this- but they’re one or two injuries away from disaster, as their squad is thin and the drop off in quality from starters to backups is drastic.
I do expect them to finish top 4 this season, but the best they can hope for is something similar to Arsenal last season: brilliant start; top of the league for most of the season; drop off towards the end to finish in second place behind City.
Work of art
So much for not winning a game all season like so many said we wouldn't
If we keep results up through to January…we couldn’t, could we mate?
"Top.. Topspurs, what's that?"
To think if ollie watkins didnt hit the post and scored against wolves we’d be second in the league is crazy man.
Everyone talking about Spurs but i really think unai has done an incredible job for us, with so many first team player injuries, its wild, Mings, moreno, ramsey, buendia, all potential starters.
Can’t believe Wolves managed to hold on for that draw.
Tell me about it. Fair play to them, we wasnt at our best tbh.
Funny how people are downvoting me, weird when its literally fact were playing well, 11 home wins on the bounce is no easy feat. Plus 4 home games 17 goals is crazy, its like a dream to us villa fans, were not used to it.
3rd since youd be behind on GD 🙂 But yes, Villa have looked really good, esp at home. The worrying part for you would be the big losses in your games against competition for top4 (1-5 Newcastle, 0-3 Liverpool) but some of that gets erased from memory with the battering of Brighton I suppose.
Ye didnt think of the GD. It is worrying but i suppose if we can beat the majority of teams below 5th and the odd few above that would be more than enough.
Our real worry is the tiredness after ECL games during the week. Especially if we get further into the competition.
Can’t see any team other than City or Liverpool winning this season, and it’ll probably be City again. Newcastle should be top 4 as well, they are scoring for fun. Spurs look fantastic, hope they can keep it up. Arsenal are polished and a genuine threat. Great season so far.

Does the table factor in the replay we're going to have to play with Liverpool?
It’s so beautiful
It's going to be spectacular when Spurs lose the league in the last matchday in a heart wrenching way isn't it?
You can make a genuine case that United has not deserved a single win this season. We are a few world class goals out of nowhere away from being in a relegation battle. It truly has been shockingly bad.
No Draws in Manchester
Spurs fans are eating good this season
For some reason I thought Everton were doing better. I guess not
Truly, a beautiful sight.
Why does it show Fulham as winning their most recent match
Fuuuuuuuuudge.
