"Compared to last season, after 20 games, we have scored the same number of goals (42) let in 1 more (30 vs 29) but have 15 less points "
**************************
And what would a football genius conclude from that?
Absolutely nothing.......
League standing depends only on the scores at the end of the games you play..........
You could score 100 goals in one game and win it, but lose all your other games 0-1.
You would be the highest scoring team in the premiership, and sit exactly at the .............
BOTTOM.

Good point Ted. In season 1937/38 Manchester City were top scorers with 80 goals, and were relegated. Always good to know a bit about football history.

The point was that its a bit of a quirk.
Its odd that our defence isnt that bad and our strike force is hot, so you'd think it would = success.
As someone posted above, when we win we win very very well, by 3 or 4 goals almost every time. The rest of the time we lose.
To me it shows 2 things. 1. we are capable of great football. Our wins have not been confined to crap teams. 2. The approach requires we have to play well or we lose.
1. Gives us hope. 2. Needs to be addressed or the manager will pay with his job.

You're not as big a club as you think you are and it shows,
You've (the spurs fans) have chased multiple winners because you're impatient, the instant gratification generation encapsulated in a fan base.

This is true. Been telling posters on here to stat humble for yonks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Except we are based on value and earnings which is why we deserve better than cheapskate Levy.
