I’m not sure your point but I agree with the statement.

Interesting to see City have just mirrored our start.
We just lack consistency. Woolwich current GD is next level. Rather annoying.
Last 10 games
City. 26 + 13
Liverpool 25 +18
Woolwich 24 +26
Spurs. 20 +8
First 10 games
Spurs 26 +13
Woolwich. 24 +15
City. 24 +15
Liverpool 23 +14
Comparison chart of the final 10 games will be really interesting to see after MW38
We are the only team who have to play all the others………city and woolwich won’t be looking forward to coming to the lane.
Liverpool extremely strong at home are probably more confident of 3 points.
They only have us left to play of the big boys. (Also Villa but they play Thursdays and are fucking shite)
It'd obviously be a remarkable turn of events, but I don't think winning our next five is too big an ask, and if we do that we'll suddenly be in a position which doesn't look quite so far-fetched.
Again, all optimistic hypotheticals, but if we get into that tough run in April 5 points off top, with games against City, Woolwich, and Liverpool in our hands, I think most of us will be thinking why not. At the very least it looks like we'll have a part to play in the title race, whatever that is, which is more than we could have asked for at the start of the season.
History also says woolwich fall away and we finish above them.If we were 5 points off top in even joint second place then you give yourselves a small chance.
Bit if you still have 3 times between you and top spot the statistics and history tells you it’s too much of a gap.
I would be interested to see what the biggest comeback to win the league is with ten games remaining.
In terms of points caught up and position.
I have a strong feeling you are not a scholar young man. You may be shocked by what you find in the history books if you ever picked one up.History also says woolwich fall away and we finish above them.
Personally not interested in their history, or any other history, I'm interested in this team winning every game from now and seeing where it gets me.
I'm generally optimistic, but they have a secret weapon:I'm hopeful that our reduced minutes over the season starts paying dividends over the coming weeks.
Hopefully the bigger teams are flagging by April with their cup commitments (Liverpool and Woolwich in particular have depth issues). Whereas we should have a fully fit squad raring to go with plenty of rest days.
I fancy us to break the Anfield hoodoo this season. I think they are really outperforming their level when you see some of the sides Klopp puts out. We have the quality to take advantage.
I smell a draw in the Woolwich game. For me it's a must not lose rather than must win. Have to slow down these cunts title charge and a draw will do that.
City, as ever, will be a bit of a free hit and we do have a great home record against them.
Navigate the rest of March and this is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining run ins in a long time.
It’s the points dropped to lower / mid table teams that will come back to haunt us this season.
That Chelsea game will be a real bell weather for how we’ve evolved since the last chelsea game

It's hard to compete with cheats.
“You have to dream Eddie … you’ve got to hold on to the dream”. A quote from Richard Richard Esquire……Win our next 5 and why not? With the other fixtures in that time it's likely a run of 5 wins from now would put us within 5 points of top at least. It's a tough ask, but not impossible.
If, by that point, we can't win the league (yeah yeah) but are looking good for CL places and Arse are still sniffing at it, then I'll accept the loss with good grace.I would love for you to be correct, but realistically, there is no way we will be allowed to get anything out of that game. I just hope we come out the other side of it with no suspensions.

I’ve always said if we’re within 6 points of top when we play those 3 big games in a row, we have a chance
That’s the key thing this season. We only need to be within 2 points (or 3 points and GD ) on the last day of the season. And we play all three of the clubs we’re competing with before then. Woolwich or City or both drop points in their head to head too. So we are in the title race still. Barely, but with Ange it could just about happen still.I’ve always said if we’re within 6 points of top when we play those 3 big games in a row, we have a chance
