Hull will go top tomorrow if they win at Wolves.

Shut up, you!

 

[Hillian1]

Genuinely impressed with your start to this season.

Genuinely couldn't give a shit about yours

See my signature for my thoughts on this!!!!

We're well on the way

6 points in total and 2 points clear at the top after 2 games. Simple extrapolation has us winning the league by 46 points with a total haul of 138. Isn't maths wonderful?

I know you are posting that in jest, but I remember posting something similar (in jest) when we went top in our league one promotion season when we initially went top early in that season...

Maybe, but we didn't win our opening two (three) games that season, and we didn't go top until September

All this optimism will of course vanish immediately should we lose at Huddersfield on Tuesday

I'd rather have the points than games in hand.

This is a ridiculous post.

Your maths gives the second place team 92 points at the end of the season. The second placed team never gets that many, so realistically we're looking at a 50+ points lead.

Just to be pedantic, the title is "in their own hands" of every team except Fulham.

Fulham need Brighton to drop 3 points and win all their remaining games to be Champions.

Every other team is sure to win it with 44 victories.

. Good point. We are doomed

When will we have mathematically won the league?

I'm thinking of booking some winter sun holiday and i wouldn't want to miss the title game.
But I'm not that fussed about the games Chris will use to give the reserves a run around.

There is always one person to burst my bubble - thank you very much Easy 10.

 

[Spicy]

Can't we have the dream, even for one day? I love being top even if it doesn't last.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Better than the gloom we'd all be feeling if we'd played 2 lost 2.

 

[Perkino]

The first two games are harder than our next two. So we should have 4 wins from 4 next weekend.

Can we make it all the way through August and win every match, obviously by a single goal

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

And with a massive 4.35% of the league season completed, it's almost like we're in the home straight already.

Only 44 games to go. What's the problem?

 

[TSB]

Calm down.We have played two poor team.However if we win the next two I will start getting excited.

But we're now playing two poorer teams?

That final game v Middlesbrough is looking to be quite a big match up. Could decide the champions..
