Top Of The League…… In January!
January 21, 2010I couldn’t let it pass without comment, but it seems that the team who were written off as no hopers after suffering a defeat to Chelsea in November which left them 11 points off of the league, are now league leaders.
OK, a bold statement which is subject to a deal of criticism – and justifiably so.
1) In order to achieve our lofty perch we have beaten Bolton twice (and they are currently the Premier League equivalent of whipping boys) without looking as though we really had any potency.
2) Chelsea have a game in hand over us.
3) Our next four home games are against Villa, Fergies Flappers, Chlesea and Rafas Bane – so we are going to be tested slightly more than we have been against Sunderland, Everton and Bolton X2 (with respect to a very good Everton side that is).
4) It is Arsenal we are looking at here – and I’ve been here so many times in the last 5 years as far as the title goes.
All that said, I’m loving the league right at the moment, and the sight of Fergie getting a slap from Tevez on Tuesday and moon faced Alladyce having to stand up and sit down more often than a toddler at a party game in the League Cup has just added to the delight.
Bring on May!
