Topic: Premier League Fixtures 11th - 12th November

Lovely to see
Can't quite believe that Man Utd are only 7 points off the top given how tragically shite they've been this season

7 points right now is pretty big a gap at this stage of the season and all things considered (the fans optimism, money spent etc.).

[Rush 82]

12 games is still a small sample size though. Extrapolate that across a full season and it’s 21-22 points off the top. They still haven’t won a single league game convincingly. The highest team in the League they’ve beaten is Brentford I think. The rest are the three newly promoted teams, Forest and Wolves at home and one other…Fulham away maybe? They’ve done nothing to suggest they can trouble the better teams and that gap will surely grow between now and May.

True
They've really been so shite that it's still a surprise to see them this high up.
On the upside, it means that fraud ETH will stay in the job - long may it continue. 
Chelsea game shows how much City miss KdB - he'll probably return just in time to propel them on in their traditional Jan/Feb/March run

Haven't united had a really easy run to start the season too? Every big game they've played they've lost, and they're mostly up against top half teams until the end of the season now.

Yeah, they're on about being the most in-form team over the past 5 games, with 4 wins from 5. Those wins being Luton, Sheffield United, Burnley and Brentford.

Goal difference of +1 for those 5 too!

Just seen that espn posted that in the last 5 games they have more points than Us, Arsenal, Abu Dhabi and Saudi

 The best team they've beaten so far is Brentford in 11th. They've played 4 Top-10 teams, lost against all of them scoring 2 goals and conceding 11. They'll be miles behind when the fixtures get a bit tougher.

Sign of champions. Keep ETH at Old Trafford. 

But what's going to happen with that goal difference of -3 when they have to play 7iverpool again?  :'(

[Slippers]

Goal difference of +1 for those 5 too!

Give them all the trophies now.

[markedasred]

Lots of goal getting conceded across the top 6.  There isn't really a defensively outstanding team in there right now.

I made this point last week, and it got even better this week, from our viewpoint.

Carragher mentioning TV deals

If the wankers from Sky keep saying the Premier League is the best League in the world do they get cheaper rights

I found it a bit odd that he mentioned rights. The elephant in the corner with football in this country is that millions are priced out. Thought it a tad gauche to be engaging in such an issue.
