Really? My bad. Sky Sports must have lied to me then or it must have been a similar stat? Maybe it was no one has been top at this stage of the season and finished outside of the top 4?

Yeah your christmas day stat is right but the other one isn't so it must be top.
Leicester had 36 points at christmas and the most anyone's had then and not finished top 4 is villa's 34 the year we finished 5th and played in the fa cup final.
Leicester have 47 points now and the most anyone's had now and not finished top 4 is villa's 48 the same year.
So leicester have 1 point less than the last team to drop out of the top 4 from that position. And the last team to not qualify for the cl was spurs who had 35 at christmas and 49 at this point so 2 points more than leicester (but they did finish 4th and only missed out cos chelsea won the cl).
The last team to be top at christmas and not finish top 4 was villa again in 1998-99 but they were 2nd at this point so I guess no team has been top at the end of january and not finished top 4.
I would burn goodison to the ground before I saw that happen.

the way this is going they're going to have to have a Fire Engine on permanent stand-by at Goodison when they announce Bobby's replacement as no matter who we get, there's going to be a bonfire.
No mention of Conte? Pretty clearly looking to move to england after the euros.
It'd cause a Kopite mass extinction, our Rafael.. but it's der bloo poop.. that one cell would be so over taxed they'd forget to breathe.

I'm guessing you didn't see much of the previous 3-4 years prior to RM arriving. Admittedly, results have been less than acceptable, but our play in general has been much better to watch. The squad everyone is saying is our best in 30 years is a squad that RM has built relatively quickly in football terms, and some of the key figures have very little experience in the toughest league in the World. Like it or not they need to learn, and most things are learnt through mistakes.
Anyway, it's only my opinion....you don't need to share it.

There's a good reason why they're out of work. It's not because they're ripping leagues up.
