I love how people are extrapolating our ppg and coming up with us being fourth. That's exactly how a league works.

Interesting that we actually made up a bigger gap on Arsenal that year than we have between us at the same point this year.We were in a worse position 21/22 season on 39 points after 24 games and made it to fourth with 71 points , all teams around us will drop points somewhere between now and the end of the season including us . A similar finish over the last fourteen games and top four should be attainable.

I don’t think we can. Arsenal have really started to see form, obviously injuries will play a part for both teams but they are a better side than us currently. They control games way better than we do.Most of the current top 8 have to play one another still
City has now won their last 5, Arse last 4 and Man U last 3 while we are unbeaten in 5, putting us 4th in the form league
i still believe we can finish above arsenal though
That's the spiritI don’t think we can. Arsenal have really started to see form, obviously injuries will play a part for both teams but they are a better side than us currently. They control games way better than we do.

Or is it just realistic?And we will as well when the guys who have just returned get up to speed.
You interpetation of things is always negative.
So we can improve then! That's a positive.I don’t think we can. Arsenal have really started to see form, obviously injuries will play a part for both teams but they are a better side than us currently. They control games way better than we do.

Arsenal have fallen off a cliff in spring two years in a row. I wouldn't bet against them doing it again. If we can build a momentum like at the start of the season, I think we can finish above Arsenal.I don’t think we can.

I might be wrong, but I thought the point being made was that if everybody's played the same number of games and you extrapolate the current ppg then by definition you'll end up predicting everybody to finish in the place they're currently in. That's just how the maths works. If you look at the top half of the table, the only team that hasn't played 24 games is City with 23...It’s at an indicator though, especially when taken with form, our present league position, and a points comparison with the same matches last season.
Or what would you prefer people base their predictions on? Their mood when they got out of bed this morning?
You said last season at certain points that Arsenal would win the league, and how great they were.Or is it just realistic?
