Yup -

Its fucking wild and it is getting seriously competitive - not sure why but I'm sure it has something to do with the physical demand on modern footballers in a season after the euros, Olympics and not that far away from a mid-season world cup.

Serie A is also very tight at the top. But the league is nowhere near as close as this PL is.

In the Uk you get the impression that overall the league has got much more competitive.
The traditional big 6 has not existed for a while. Newcastle, Brighton and Villa are all in the mix now.

The point you were making is daft.
We're only 3 points off 3rd because we have had one of the easiest run of fixtures we've ever had at this stage of the season. We have battered a few really poor teams that make our GD look impressive.
But because we have played all those poor teams, it means we now have to play the good teams. And if we're not taking full advantage of our run of easy games, then how the hell you think we're gonna do against teams that can actually play?

We win. Which adds to the frustration.....
 
The Table that really should matter most to supporters is the Europa Table where we are 7th only 2 points off top. We can actually win this trophy whilst we have a slim to non existent chance of winning the PL trophy. Only Levy should prefer a better league position over a trophy. Glory over Money.

This is a misconception.

What I want is for him to turn it around and get us into the top 4 and win a cup.

I don't want him to drag us down and get the sack, have Masons mates for a half a dozen games, watch us fail to get a useful coach in for 3 months and keep Mason on, and then end up with ET fucking H in the summer.

We should have done something weeks ago when Amorim and Tuchel were viable.

If we take a look at the league table we see us as top scores and goals against the same as City, Chelsea who sit 2nd and 3rd. Sure lost 5 and a painful 5 in as much how we lost Newcastle and Woolwich were we were the better side. Brighton. What the fuck happened there! Then to lose against 2 sides who had yet to win a league game was a massive blow. I would argue had those 2 loses been against City/Liverpool we wouldn't be screaming for Ange's head like some are. But I understand why they are because what on paper should have been a fairly assured 6 points putting us in 3rd comfortably, we are sitting in an uncomfortable 10th! I'm as frustrated by this as anyone but I'm trying to look at the bigger picture and the positive numbers in the table.
No doubt in my mind Ange-Ball needs some rethinking from the man himself and I can only hope those results against Palace, Brighton and Ipswich has him questioning his approach sometimes with the players he currently has at his disposal. I'll avoid waffling on any longer, but the point I'm trying to make is we have had 3 major fuck-ups in the league so far, we are in the last 8 of the Carabo cup, and currently 2nd/3rd? in the EL comp, looking very likely to automatically qualify for the last 16. Point! I know the Ipswich result is still raw, but it ain't all bad imo!

5 defeats already this season. After 11 games…. We are on course to finish 10-12th with a point tally of around 50. That ain’t gonna keep him in a job and is frankly shocking.

Last 8 of the league cup means nothing. Well just as likely lose to a new manager bounce than get to the final, never mind win it.

I am all for positivity but fuck me, some posts on here are cloud cuckoo land level stuff

The new stadium has made us competitive, we should thank all involved getting the club to that lofty level of a league position.

Serious for a moment - I worry that the New Stadium conspires against us. Teams like Ipswich turn up and it inspires them to play out of their skins. Fuck that New Stadium.
