How beautiful is this not?

It's a very beautiful thang indeed.. even more so now we stay there for at least two weeks.

[ManOfSteel]

It's quite beautiful. I think the magnitude of it's beauty will be significantly increased if we can keep it up for the rest of the season.

[mercury]

haha, beat me to it!

 

Beautiful, isn't it? What's more, we beat the Mancs and Gooners (and actually everyone else ) on goal difference, and all three of Gooners are home wins.

 

Shame we have two weeks of international now, notwithstanding Carra's injury.

[Guest Sabre]

Should be 12 points. Then I think it would be sublime.

[spacemonkey]

Arsenal have an easy start. Suspect they'll fall away in December if not before, looking at their fixtures.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

yes it is nice - but the table on Monday 12th May is the significant one.

Let's not get too carried away - remember Man City where top two weeks ago.

[JohnnyH]

Lets just get to 42 points first, and then we'll start looking up.

"How beautiful is this not?"

 

Is that meant to say that it's ugly

[crisps]

...and scored 8 more than the mancs with a game in hand

I actually think (and don't shoot me in May if we are in second place by one point) that the draw we had against Chelsea may have done yourselfs a favour...

 

The less hype around the team by those outside the holy trinity of manager/players/fans the better as far as I am concerned. The more they talk about others allows us to get on with our business quietly and consistently. A start of 12 from 12 and beating Chelsea may have impinged upon this...

we should try and lose against Pompey - just to end the title speculation

We laughed at the blues**** for doing this after one game, doing it after 4 is not that much better.

I beg to disagree.

 

It's 4 times better.

[Guest Johnie82]

Sorry but this is so Newcastle/Everton-esque doing it after 4 games.

And also, we've only conceded two goals and they were both pennos. Well, really only one of them was, but that's water under the bridge now.

I can almost guarantee you we will stay there for nearly two weeks

'Ground Running,' well and truly HIT!

'Ground Running,' well and truly HIT!

 

[growler]

we are four games in! don't gloat about the table. most of us laughed at everton when they gloated after 2 games and man city after 3, so stop it. wait until at least 12-15 games.

[David Hodgson]

Ah, but had we not been robbed in the Chelsea game, and beaten West Ham in our game in hand we'd now be 5 points clear at the top. That kinda lead would easily see us stay top as we get towards the 10 game mark.

 

So you see.....

[amokop]

Also we are not everton or citeh, we have a far stronger squad to continue our good start where as the other two were always going to be more flash in the pans.... Rafa and the whole of the squad all wanted to 'hit the ground running' and it was the most overused phrase in the build up to our season... that is the case with the first 4 games out of the way we have indeed had a good solid start... i don't think anyone on here is gloating or under any illusions that we are going to win the league, i think we are just happy to still be in with a shout after August!!!!

It's not gloating mate, it's mostly relief that for once we've hit the ground running and are doing it better and more coonvincingly than the others.

 

Everyone knew Everton would fall back - City too...no such guarantee applies to us.
