The Bear Posted 6 November 2020 Share Posted 6 November 2020 (edited) I seem to remember we were top of the table for a couple of days at the start of the 10/11 season (I think). It was after two or three games as we had a fairly easy start. Edit - Might have been joint top though. Edited 6 November 2020 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have been fantastic but it's bloody ridiculous that he hasn't predicted them to lose in that long. It's more than 4 whole seasons, so it goes some way back before they became the juggernaut that amassed circa 190 points over two seasons. Punditry these days really is shocking.

st albans fox Posted 6 November 2020 Share Posted 6 November 2020 no one should be recorded as 'topping the table' until 4 sets of games have been played and no table should be recorded as complete until after the game week is complete.

KingsX Posted 6 November 2020 Share Posted 6 November 2020 I worry a bit that the day United replace Ole, the competitive balance will tilt more against us. But I live in fear of the day the parasites finally take Woody’s hands off the football side. A billion pounds a year not pissed up the wall -- that is frightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 6 November 2020 Share Posted 6 November 2020 In this crazy season of high scoring games, Burnley have managed just 3 goals all season! (2 of those were against us). They haven’t scored a home goal yet this season and drain the life out of football. I hope they go down this season and don’t come back again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
