Every team plays against the others twice, but the sequence of the fixtures plays a huge part in shaping the season, especially when the sequence of fixtures in the second half of the season by and large mirrors that of the first half of the season. If you have to face the big guns 3 games in succession between August and December, you'll probably have to do the same at some point between January and May. It's a much tougher ask than if those fixtures are much more spread out. What makes things worse is that league games are not played simultaneously. You always get one title contender playing before their rivals for weeks on end so the rivals are always being forced to play catch-up. It can be managed for a few games but over a longer period, it takes its toll.

Hopefully City will stop them.

 

Can't see anybody else finishing above the cunts sadly.

 

They have a really strong spine, a superb goalkeeper and now a striker to bully the masses of shite this league is made of.

 

Regardless of their dead easy start they have dealt with it very impressively banging in goals at will - basically hammering the shite (something we of course routinely fail to do)....that shithouse shitcoat will make them difficult to beat in the hard games and the returning fear factor and bullying of the shite will see them go really close.

 

It was draws last season that cost them...they hardly lost - those draws are being turned into wins this season.

Its all that old "identifying the glaring weaknesses, and addressing them with a bit of quality" trick isn't it?

Revolutionary thinking, i like it.

It perhaps ought to catch on elsewhere..

It's sickening to think we were ahead of them last season, but once again stood still and let them overtake us.

 

We never learn.

How dare you call spunking 100 million pounds on salah, chamberlain and Robertson, standing still.

 

They are top notch players and exactly what we needed in weak areas.
