Huddersfield -great start and still easy fixtures to come!

[giveusfalmerplease]

Boy they have had the easiest start in terms of opposition ever i think..OK games still need to be won but they West Ham next- could see them drawing that then home to Leicester and away to Burnley - first difficult game against Spurs on 30th. We're currently trailing them by 3 points from a game more and i think the best we can hope come 30th is to still be trailing them by 3 points...

Good luck to them, just not quite good enough

Couldn't say I'm that interested

I bet you think that if Man City beat us 2-0 and we beat WBA 3-1 then Man City must beat WBA 5-1

 

[clarkey]

I reckon by the end of the season, we'll have had the same fixtures as them. Just in a different order probably

Man City would beat Arsenal 9-0

Who loses 9-0?

Yeah but think about what happened to them last year we were permanently within touching distance of them overtaking us in Feb-April before they finally hit a bad patch. I would hate it to be the reverse this year where they are the team we need to finish above to stay up and start relying on them playing their harder fixtures later in the season....On the other hand with a but of luck Palarce and Bournemouth will be cut adrift by then and I think Newcastle's lack of purchases in preseason will come back to bite them hard...Time as they say will tell..

Probably every chance we would have played everyone twice and lost, drawn and won some of them too.

Why randomly pick Huddersfield as the team to finish above? Just because we were in the same division last year, which now has no relevance!

I would be more inclined (if I was to do such a thing after JUST 4 games) to look at the teams currently below us. With the exception of Everton I think there is every chance we could finish above all of them! Which would be good enough for me - wouldn't care what position Huddersfield finished in!

Exactly this.

Huddersfield doing well is okay for me, good on them - they may have had the easier fixtures than us but they still had an opening game away from home. I am dead pleased they tonked the bast***s 3-0, because it puts them in a worse position than us.

My main concentration is on us and the teams below us. If there's teams below us, then we need to be keeping an eye on those below us at all times. Teams above us is irrelevant unless there's only 2/3 teams below us.

Obviously. Along with, "We've scored after 10 minutes - therefore we will win 9-0"....

When they start to get tougher fixtures things will start to even themselves out and before you know it they'll be near the relegation zone.

 

[Seasider78]

They have had a good run of fixtures for sure which has given them momentum for when they face the bigger clubs but not bitter about it and I have a lot of respect for their chairman who like Tony is a fan and has worked wonders to get them where they are

I don't see home to Leicester being easy and didn't Burnley have something like the 4th best home record season, so definitely not an easy game.

 

[Justice]

Can't see them winning today if that helps.

Interesting theory. Let me go back to my workings and get back to you.

 

[Blackadder]

Southampton aren't exactly on top form at the moment but I thought they were unlucky not to take all 3 points last week.

As others have said the season will even out. I think there is a good chance that we both might stay up (despite Crooks and Merson).

 

[DavidRyder]

I'd like Huddersfield to win tonight, to maintain the 4 points gap from the drop (yes early days I know!) - and I reckon they will win, even at odds of 14/5 last time I looked.

Man City would beat Arsenal 9-0

Who loses 9-0?

year ago today the US women's team beat Thailand 9-0
