we already have a +29 GD, anyone remember the days we were happy to finish the season with a +GD
I think that's where this season the head to head against teams in the top six is so important. If we get 3 points against city, we will have done well so far. It's going to be tough though, but this team seams to relish in playing against top six sides.
At home maybe. We lost to Chelsea and Man U away.I think that's where this season the head to head against teams in the top six is so important.

We'd need a notable drop in form in the second half of the season not to break our record points total now. Obviously we've seen that happen more times than we'd like but I'd be pretty confident of getting at least the required 27 points from the final 17 games to break AVB's record.
The problem is - everyone has picked up their game this year. After 21 games last season Arsenal were top of the league with only 43 points, they're on more than that this year but are only in 4th. Even Man Utd who are in 6th are on 40 points, which would have them finishing on 72 points if averaged over a season - Arsenal came 2nd last year with less than that.
The gulf between the top 6 and the rest is huge this year and there are some fucking dreadful teams at the bottom that everyone is going to clean up against. It would not surprise me if somebody misses out on CL qualification with 80 points this season.

Priorities need urgently sorting here.
