Get your league tables out for the lads

you imbecilic phallus, Gerrards 'goal' is dominating feck all - we're top of the league ffs (and that means top on points - not beating Derby 6-0)

It doesn't count, we have to beat a shit team 6-0 before the league will allow our status as the best team in the League to stand.

3 games had gone by and we were on two points, one ahead of Derby, placed 19th in the table and now TOP by boxing day.

Liverpool are now on 36 points so in that time they have gained 29 points

Whilst we are on 45 points and in the same time gained 43 points - more than Liverpool have got altogether.

Now I just hope I have got my maths right!

But don't worry Dumps, you still have a game in hand. ;)
 
they only need to score 6 goals against one of the relegation teams and they're right back in it, don't forget that folks!
 
Look how quickly the goal difference has opened up. That is down to our defensive stability, in no small part.

It also helps that the act of scoring 4 goals in a match has become a formality for us. :D
 
That's a good point.

Cahm down everyone, they've still got dat game in hand.

:lol:

Actually we're not in front at all because they also have games against Wigan and Sunderland at home coming up and that's 6 points.
 
Liverpool couldn't beat Bramble at Anfield.

so where are they now, behind city at fifth?

Right I think I may have used up my laughing smiley quota for the week, may have to save some for Luton.
 
You seem to enjoy the cosy feeling of being 4th...

They can hope for that at least, if only they can reach the heights of their start to the season

of course you can compare the two. and for a team with such a fantastic attack, why havent you been scoring goals? what is it now, 1 goal in your last 7 games in the premiership? last season we created chance after chance in the premeirship, but couldnt get the ball in the net. this season, in the 3 games you have played, you have done exactly that. your attack is not as good as it was last year, and a lot of your key players, Giggs, Scholes, VDS etc area year older and you cant expect them to perform to last years standards again. already this season, Scholes has looked well of the pace.

Silliness, Giggs has done well, and we are no longer reliant on them, though VDS is important and would be great to have Scholes back.

What about the Aston Villa game where Gerrard got a freekick for basically feck all..

Get em' in while you can..

It's funny because we are sure to shoot up the league soon, no doubt this thread will be bumped in the future...
we should dig this thread out again when we overtake them soon

As was forseen
