strong and stable with me, or...
Looks a lot better. Confident we'll get more than 4 points from the next 8 games.

We are 1 point above the draw everything, safe on 38 points tracker, which I know a few people do like using as it usually means we aren't so far behind!

We could win the next 4 , nothing to be scared of there

Agreed, Villa's win against Norwich is nothing to be concerned about. Same goalkeeper that conceded 5 when he last played against us. Villa will be tough, but I don't think a win is completely off the cards. Maybe their big win will lead them into a false sense of security which Potter and the boys will exploit.
They could be saying similar to us. Replace the dodgy keeper at norwich, with underperforming spurs. Lets hope we don't get carried away with our big win...

Having beaten Spurs, who we lost to last year, we are now plus 3 points compared to last season's results against the same teams.

Have you seen the Norwich highlights? It isn’t a case of getting carried away, go watch the highlights of that game. Watch how absolutely woeful McGovern is at goalkeeping..

I really fancy us to get something at Villa. They played a lot of their first team regulars against our kids the other week and they didn’t look overly convincing to me compared to what I was expecting when looking at the difference in the 2 line ups.

Wasn't it a draw in the home game last season?

No. We drew with them in the 2017/18 season.
Does one of those matches get abandoned or something then?
I'm off,down the bookies of you know something they don't
Six points from the next 8 games, not out of the next 8 points......................

He made a brilliant penalty save, in this game, as it goes.
So we’re a point ahead of where we’ve ever been in the PL after 8 games, whether judged on simply number of games or by opponent.........

Exactly! This is in fact our best start so far, Villa next who obviously are new entrants as far as our PL history is concerned. In theory, the standard model anticipates we get 4 points off them this season. Based on ‘expected goals’, Villa are about where their performances suggest they should be. So it could be a tight game if we have luck / poor finishing in line with our games prior to Spurs.
It’s actually pretty damn good given GP has only had 8 games trying to implement a completely different style of play, and with several key players injured. We could easily be a few points better off with a bit of luck too.
Oddschecker have us around 7th favourites to go down at the moment (around 4/1). A couple more performances like Saturday and those odds will drift pretty rapidly.
