Comparison with last year - update

5 stars Light

totally agree with the article

However you look at it we are in a strong position with probably the strongest squad. Position now means very little but the fact we are near the top, points wise, does.

Keep within three points of top spot and see where 2025 takes us. I’m hoping by then we will have created a bit of a gap to third spot.

A game at a time I think.

Away form is poor, one win in six! We might be the best team in the league, but Sheffield have taken 8 points more than us minus head to head, and Burnley have only conceded 6 and are starting to gain momentum. For the first time this season, must admit I am a little concerned.

Steross, we’re not the best team in the league - we’re third best, based on points scored. To say any different is arrogant and delusional.

So four days ago, when we was top, you think we was best team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Over 17 games, yes we were the best team. How good a team is in comparison to others can only be judged by how many points (plus GD) it has accrued in comparison to others. That can’t be hard to comprehend, surely.

But I agree we have the strongest squad, which is why, like many on here, I think we’ll finish 1st.

Evening all🌞.

What a great debate … reminds me of the House of Commons last Friday👍. Many thanks to each of you for your contributions (but I hope nobody minds me singling out my confidante Spanish for special mention👍😁🍻).

In other news … in the 3rd round of the FA Cup we’ve been drawn at home v. Harrogate Town 😁👍

Great draw

Last year we did the double over Leicester and Ipswich, but got done over 3 times by a team below us. Chris Wilder said we were the best team they had faced all season, Sunderland were better than them on Friday night...yet the Blades have accrued 5 more points than us.

Hope they don't stick 5,000 Harrogate fans in the South Stand, South Stand should never be for away fans.
