Not that I think we’ll win it but I’ll be interested to know at what point they thought “we’re going to win the league”I might think end of October if we get 9 points from the next 3 games mind you!
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] At what point in the season did Leicester fans think allo we might win the whole thing?

Winning at the Etihad and WHL, from memory, were huge 6 pointers and gave real belief.

Show me some people are getting way too far ahead of themselves without telling me some people are getting way too far ahead of themselves

But we haven't played anyone who is any good yet.

Sadly that is a FACT
Didn’t Leicester play Hughtonball but with Vardy up front when they won the title?

Neither had they (excepting a draw with Tottenham). Their eighth game was ironically against Norwich, their seventh a 5-2 defeat against Arsenal.
They won the league with 81 points. Low by current trends. City only managed 66.
A strange season. But won't be repeated until the Chelsea, Liverpool, City and United group are all in flux.
The battle is really for sixth, as I would add Everton to the above group in a 'lite' way.
If we had a Vardy I would say we could upset the top five in a limited way. But a few other teams could say the same.

Lineker’s famous tweet about presenting in his underpants was in December, so obviously it wasn’t until the new year and even then from memory it was February / March before they seriously thought they were title contenders. The best we can hope for is 7th which would be insane, dreaming of being a top ten team is realistic. Already just by looking at goal difference, top four is nailed on City, Liverpool, Chelsea, United.

Burnley finished 7th in 2018. So it's more than possible.

At what point did Spurs realise they were stuck in the Euro Conference and which game should they have thrown to get of it?
Winning that cup is probably their easiest road to playing in the Europa League next season tbh. They shouldnt throw it away.

The more apt question. At what point in the season do we think we might be safe from relegation? Based on our start, sooner than normal.
Southampton probably thought they were safe by December last year... in the end they were not so safe (though they made it), being the second worst team in the second half of the PL. So its always quite difficult to say until its actually done. But somewhere around 30 points by christmas and you imagine it would take a lot to get relegated.

Maybe I am odd, but I have hopes of winning every competition we play in, it isn't a case of at what point do I think we can, it's a case of at which point do I realise we can't, and I am happy to report I am still currently hoping for a league and cup treble in 2022.
