No please. Immediately being 2nd after they won the league - we will be trampled on by the scum for eternity till the end of time. Below them in any other positions are fine for me. If they won it, I rather we take 3rd. Actually being 2nd for me is the worse feeling ever in a league standing.
Coming second to arsenal and winning the cup in a season that they won the title would completely diminish what we had achieved.
To clarify we actually play Monday (Fulham) and then Friday (Palace) then Monday again (Chelsea) then Saturday 12.30pm (Wolves) this time around.
Honest opinion - yeah, I would take that.
I would instinctively have thought it would be typical us except that we have never had this many points before at this stage since three points for a win. I'm leaning towards Leicester being one of them if not both, they dropped off horribly twice after being in the top four all season.who were the 2?
I agree, because we would still be able to say this was only Ange's first season at the helm and who knows how well we could do in the following season.
Coming off the back of an international break, I actually see this as a good thing. We get two extra days preparation, and the likes of Son, Romero etc who are travelling halfway across the world get that extra recovery time. I’m sure we can cope with a Monday - Friday schedule too.
Arsenal Winning the league in 1991 did nothing to spoil the enjoyment of winning the FA cup.
It was even sweeter in fact as we stopped them doing the double.
We're in an EVEN BETTER position than those others in that being out of league Cup in round 2 means we have no mid-week games ALL YEAR (other than re-arranged league game if we go deep in FA Cup) so if we can keep our 'core' 15 players fit we could finish really strongly. ACN and Asian Cup are probably the only caveats to us having better fitness levels than all of our rivals in the New Year.
We still need two quality additions in Jan if we're well placed. A CB with similar characteristics to our starters and either another 6 or a LW.
I'll put it down to the inexperience of youth... but you might be interested to learn that there was top flight football before the Premier League.This table is excellent in giving a points breakdown for all our PL seasons. Can easily see we only need 1 point to equal our best ever start after 9 games, and 3 points in two to equal after 10 games.
One season that is a bit forgotten for me, is the 11/12 season (the year were 4th wasn't enough for CL). We've started brilliantly this season, but still would need 3 wins and 2 draws in our next five to equal the first 13 games of that season.
