This time last season.

[glorydaze]

Compared to last season we are not in a too bad position, others obviously better but some a lot worse.

Chelsea + 8
Southampton +3
City +2
Utd -2
Newcastle -1
West Ham +8
Swansea +3
Arsenal -11
Us - 4
Spurs - 3
RS - 10

Onwards and upwards for us.

 

[Chang Elephant]

We've played the top teams and been decimated by injuries. It's ours to win.

I think the main disappointment is that we haven't been able to capitalise on the slow starts for our major competitors for fourth ie, RS, Spurs, Man U

We'll still be there or thereabouts 4th 5th 6th I reckon and hopefully a good cup run in there somewhere since Europa has seen some of our best form this season

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

We've had a bad start and are only 2 points behind 4th. That's a gift that we need to be capitalising on.

 

[Dymak]

The game against Spurs is far more important than the game against Wolfsburg, for me.

 

[marty mcfly]

I think the big difference is the in the performances plus we didn't get going till we signed Lukaku, Barry and McCarthy.

Th difference in points is over simplifying it but thankfully the form of Arsenal and Liverpool in particular is a god send because ultimately I think it will be between those two, Us, Spurs and Utd for the final two positions come the end of the season.

Its mad to think that after the start saints have had,which has been brilliant,i didnt even realise they had 22 from 11 and were in 3rd place this time last year,hardy any different,

we had 21 from from 12 games last season,and were 5th,3 points from 2nd,now this season as we know and not been brilliant a lot of the season with tons of injures,we are 2points away from 4th,unreal by us i think you could say with our injures and even with the points we have threw away

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

All good saying that we are only so many points from the top four, but so are all of the clubs ahead of us.

It isn't as easy as winning the next game and we are there.

That goes to show that we definitely have a squad that can seriously compete for a top 4 position. We don't even need to be lucky with injuries, results etc.

Although it would help not to be absolutely screwed by injuries which is happening again.

Maybe that's the biggest positive from playing in the EL. We needed a larger squad which ultimately helps to protect against injuries.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

This time last season we were grinding out results without actually playing very well.

....interesting. All to play for.
