[Football] Where's the next point(s) coming from?

[chaileyjem]

Last year we picked up points against Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea, Wolves, and Spurs and not sure anybody on here predicted it - certainly not in threads like this.
As for this season - well Villa beat Arsenal 3-0 (great result), but last week lost 3-0 home to Leeds who this weekend lost 4-1 to Palace who struggled to get a point against us.

Looking at how well Villa and Southampton are playing im beginning to think our next chance of a point is away to Fulham. Thats FIVE games away. Heaven forbid and really hope im wrong but that would mean we would be on six points from 12 games played - a THIRD of the season gone..December could well decide our season as after Fulham we play Sheff Utd at home and West Ham away. 6 points from them 3 games and it would be 12 from 15 and still give us hope. Any less than that by the end of the year and i suspect the Potter out camp will be shouting it from the rooftops.

Love to be proved wrong..Scrappy 1-0 win at home to southampton and again vs Arsenal on the last game of the year and it might look a lot different.

One things for certain - it aint boring being an albion fan.

We have taken at least a point this season from each team we have played outside the Big Six. There's your answer. The next game against a team outside the Big Six.

the trouble is this season - the big six are no longer six!. Apart from Leeds who have nose dived after a great start (but are right above us 4 points clear) virtually all the teams above us are taking points from eachother. i mean really after 8 games when was the last time man city and utd were at or below bottom half? Likewise when do u ever remember seeing Palace, Southampton , Villa, Everton, Wolves and `Leicester in the top 9? So in reality unless we too can join in the fun and start getting unexpected results we will be in the doo doos pretty quickly.

Absolutely.I reckon the 4 gained against Villa & Liverpool make up for the 4 lost to WBA & Burnley. Just need the 3 back that were stolen by Man U and we shall be about right.

Next point will be the draw against Stains.
