The trouble is, everybody else's started in August. And we have no points (depending on what you define as 'here').
In the real world, we have 20 points from 14 games, a less than impressive 1.43 PPG which would equate to 53 points over a season.
I suspect it won't require 80 points for us to take fourth this season; however, merely to equal last season's 69 points means we will need 2.04 PPG. This is something we've achieved precisely twice in our entire history.
But we have achieved it twice.
I would argue that Arsenal, Utd, Everton and Liverpool also failed to start in August. We are within a match of pretty much all our direct top 4 rivals. dont give a shit about PPGs required and historical statistics.
