Might as well hand the title to Southampton now. 

I just hope that the players don't have anything close to the same attitude. Of course Jose is hardly one to let a lead slip for any reason. 

Have this thread in any other month plz not November!!!

Daft thread, dangerous question.

 

Never mind November, we've had some disastrous Christmas/New Year periods over the years. We're currently undefeated, four points clear of Southampton. Ok you can turn round and say it's "only Southampton", they haven't got the squad depth or whatever. But stranger things have happened. The Southampton collapse hasn't happened yet.

Taking nothing for granted, a four point lead means we can afford to slip up once, that's all. Assume that Southampton keep winning, one defeat and the lead is down to a single point. A couple of draws and Southampton are level.

 

We're also eight points clear of Man City. Where were they at this stage last season? Down in eighth or ninth, I think. Looking well off the pace, well out of contention. Man City DO have the squad depth, and may well strenghen in January. As may any number of other teams. If Man City go on a run, and we lose a couple of games, suddenly the gap is down to two points. The pressure is on.

 

A bit of fun? Seriously, the title of this thread should be changed to: "Tempting fate" or "Putting the Mockers on".

Because just when you think you've got it sussed, football, as does life in general, has a nasty habit of turning round and biting you in the arse.

 

Take nothing for granted!

I denounced nasty November, I will now be addressing dodgy December.

As if this thread is going to have any affect on how 20 teams/220 players play football for the rest of the season...grow up.

 

Superstitious bar stewards.

It's not about superstition, more about being so arrogant as to think that the league has been won in November.

If I thought you were telling me to grow up, I'd call you an arrogant, humourless prick.

Arsenal away would be hilarious

 

wonder if they'd do a guard of honor for us like United did

If we don't win the title this year I'm blaming it on you Uno!

They'd only do one if we won it before.

Sense of humour bypass?

Wow.

 

No words.

Going for the jugular as usual, Lofty. You haven't changed.

The obvious answer to restoring Karmic balance and humility, is to start a thread speculating what would be the worst game to concede that we've blown the title this season...

Plus Uno should make a big money donation to a charity, picked by concensus. :-)

Welcome to sport, where grown men will wear the same boxers every Saturday because they're lucky and don't tempt fate by making proclamations ELEVEN games into a season.

I'll take that as a compliment, even though I did say "if"

He did say IF he thought you were referring to him...

 

..and to be fair, if I thought someone was telling me to grow up, I reckon I'd go for the jugular too, Blueblur!

 

Oops, snap, BF!

I thought wearing lucky knickers was a female thing.  Glad to hear men do it too!

Like the Shed End Piss-Up Fund?

In that case everyone who doubted us winning the title should buy me a beer to celebrate us being 2014/15 champions!

It's alright Uno, you didn't jinx us - you can come out of hiding now.

Well done Uno!

You better not jinx us!!
