Shit really? We never knew this.
We are playing in a temporary home. We are playing a season where the two Manc clubs have significantly strengthened, and have to face the same Chelsea squad as last year. We have a huge fixture list. Things are tougher this year and yet we have cumulatively more points from games now than this time last year. I fully agree with you on lost points and, not that you will, but if you look at last season's match threads I would often say after matches how crucial some seemingly "easy" points were. But people still have to manage expectations. We aren't winning the league this year. We may not even get top four due to the huge competition at the top of the table. So if we do get top four and/or a trophy, for me it will be a reasonable season and I can take some joy out of it. Acting like we're fucked five games in means you're going to spend the whole season angry and miserable.
