by any side according to the paper this morning. Puts it into context and also shows how high the bar has been raised by Chelsea. This is a tough old league now.

And it'll be tough all the way through to May

 

While I am delighted about the start, celebrating it, and our position in it before the end of October, sort of shows how far we have fallen. :( No longer do we expect that, but are pleased and somewhat surprised by it.

It'w wonderful just to be in contension. You can see why we drop so many points each season, it's because we've nothing to play for other than 4th. If we'd been 7 or 8 points off the top going into last night I think we would have drawn.

We have the bit between our teeth now and it's great to watch. Beating ManU and Chelsea has really reall given us a boost and it's those teams we need to keep the reins on

Best start by any team in 15 years !!!!!! We are right to be surprised by it, Chelsea got 95pts one year and started worse than this. There are currently 6 teams averaging 2pts a game at the moment as well. Incredible.

doesn't necessarily mean that the league is any stronger than it used to be does it? just that we've improved our consistency. it's always been difficult to win the league.

IMO the top sides are definitely stronger. All 4 of them look capable of winning the title. Arsenal have slipped up but good results in the games against the other 3 and they would be right back in it.

 

We've beaten United and home and Chelsea away in the same season. When was the last time we did that ? That's not just consistency it's also being better than the other top sides on matchday.

Not according to the stat man at the BBC. Maybe we have equalled their start.

 

Chelsea won their first 9 games in 2005-2006, drew the 10th. So somebody somewhere has got something wrong.

how does that follow?

Because we had to end their 4 year unbeaten record to stay ahead of them. We have a phenomenal start beaten both our title rivals, come back from the dead several times to nick wins and only had one game where we didn't get what we deserved and we are still only 3pts ahead of them.

We won 10 league games in a row leading to the games in Japan back in 2005. It's great but lets not get carried away.

Could you point me to any point where anyone in this thread is getting carried away.

 

I'm merely pointing out that it's taken a phenomenal start to get ahead of Chelsea.

For every sunny sky there is a cloud looming in the distance - I actually thought of that when watching the highlights on FootyFirst - didnt know score when watching

Iwas watching MOTD highlight and knew none of the scores, was praying we wouldn't be first up because that would mean a dodgy result. When Arsenal didn't get beat I knew the worst to expect was a draw however with no clock it's frightening watching chance after chance missed in second half highlights. Fecking relieved when Stevie scored !!!!

 

Wont be doing that again, listen or watch match, no unseen highlights unless they are proper 1/2hr highlights.

It's a strange feeling being top of the league. People finally recognize we exist and are starting to talk about us. On the other hand there seemed a lttle nervousness amongst the players and fans last night knowing that we have to keep winning just to keep the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea at bay. They still seem to be able to steam roller over teams and it will be hard to keep looking over our shoulder. With all that said it still feels great to be TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

These Premier league stats get on my wick,

 

They fail to mention the 100 odd years before it.

 

 

Including the year the mancs won their first ten.

 

The Peter Barnes era.

United didn't exactly steamroller Newcastle or Everton among others.
