    City and Liverpool have had two of the best starts to a season in the history of English football and we are only 7 and 8 points back so the league is still very much on. Under Wenger we were usually out of it by now. And we're one of three teams within 2 points of each other battling for 3rd. And we're on a pace for 81 points, last year we finished with 63. That with a new manager, new style of play and relatively little net investment.

    Hard to understand how anyone can't see this as a huge step forward at this point.

    It is a huge step forward and you're starting to convince me

    You did say the league was very much still on though! 😂

    Well, we completely outplayed the current league leaders at our place, pasted Spurs and lost a close game to the team that just beat City. The days of getting hammered and looking out of our depth against the league leaders seem to be over so why not?

    Beacuse we still have to play the top 3 away from home, and until we show we can win big games away from home i can't see us getting close enough to be actual title contenders.... saying that, I am happy the way we have progressed and seem to put more effort in even when not playing well

    Comparative positions for this date over the past five seasons
    2017/18 5th 17 points from the leaders but only one point off 4th and 2 off third
    2016/17 1st (level on points)
    2015/16 1st (1 point clear)
    2014/15 6th 13 from leaders 2 from fourth and third
    2013/14 1st (five points clear)

    Only two of those seasons back up your claim and three tell a very different story at this stage

    You sad c*nt...

    And had one of those seasons been different it would have been 3 of 5 so that would have qualified for 'usually' - small margins

    You said usually "out of it" - since you believe that being within 8 points still gives a chance this season, they would have to be quite different. I was actually quite surprised we were top so late in the season when Chelsea won quite comfortably

    I am quite surprised we were top at this stage in any of the seasons you have listed never mind 60% of them.
