For where Fulham are, 1 point above us feels criminal now to have let them walk all over us as they did.
We are currently at 1ppg. We are on the same wins same draws and same loses as after 20 games last year. We are only -9 GD compared to -20 this time last year
In a strange twist, game 21 this year and last are on the same weekend, both pauses in games came at the right time for both managers.
Next up Brentford 1 pt below us, with a game in hand though that’s against Man City which hasn’t been rearranged just yet.
Bottom 3 at the start of the year were Southampton Everton and West Ham.

Watching the Bournemouth v spurs game and it's not just our keeper who makes a dodgy pass which leads to a goal.

From the current Premier League top 10 clubs, looking at last season and this, we have already recorded wins against:
Liverpool
Villa
Arsenal
West Ham
Man Utd
Brighton
Newcastle
Chelsea
We got a draw vs Man City last season.
Only Tottenham (strangely) we have yet to take a point off.
Think that’s pretty impressive overall? Shows we can beat absolutely anyone on our day.

Fulham beating Arsenal was annoying. Bournemouth lost though.

Hopefully that’s a spanner in the works for Bournemouths form but we won’t know for weeks, Everton’s spry come back has hit the buffers too

On flip side and not meaning to sound too disrespectful Bournemouth (2 pts in 3 games), Fulham (1 in 3) Everton (2 in 3) Wolves (2 in 3) and Brentford (2 in 3) all proving to be tough nuts to crack though off top of my head. Not exactly a list of top teams and we've not beaten any of them.....yet. At least we have 5 from 3 against promoted teams so far.

Its been an unusual transfer window for the Premier League as a whole, Tottenham only team to sign a Player Permanently.
I reckon most clubs are waiting to see if they are clear of any breaches and then the Transfer Window might burst into life.

Very interesting game tonight Burnley v Luton. Guess Burnley win is the best result keeping us 5 points (for the time being) away from third spot.

Wolves Brentford having to go to extra time can only be good for us you’d assume
