All of the 'big four' had three games in six days, but isn't it funny how nicely the fixtures fell for Chelsea and Man Utd

Man Utd

26/10 Bitters (a)
28/10 West Ham (h)
01/11 Hull (h)

7/9 points, TWO games at home and the away trip just along the road to near neighbours

Chelsea

26/10 Liverpool (h)
28/10 Hull (a)
01/11 Sunderland (h)

6/9 points, TWO games at home

Arsenal

26/10 West Ham (a)
28/10 Tottenham (h)
01/11 Stoke (a)

4/9 points, two games away

Liverpool

26/10 Chelsea (a)
28/10 Portsmouth (h)
01/11 Tottenham (a)

6/9 points, two games away

But still we went to two tough grounds in six days and won at the leaders while picking up as many points in six days as they did. We lost more ground in terms of goals, but only the mancs picked up more points - not surprising given two home games and playing away to the bitters who hadn't won at home at that point

Even though we went 14 league games before losing last season, we picked up only four more points then than we have now - with THREE games to play before reaching the same stage. We thought we might lose at SB so in a sense we're no worse off than we may well have thought we would be now before last Sunday's game.

LIVERPOOL score always first

2008/9 2007/8
SUNDERLAND 1-0 2-0
MIDDLESBRO' 2-1 3-2
ASTON VILLA 0-0 2-1
MAN UTD 2-1 0-1
STOKE 0-0 0-0 Used Birmingham for comparison as no corresponding fixture
EVERTON 2-0 2-1
MAN CITY 3-2 0-0
WIGAN 3-2 1-1
CHELSEA 1-0 0-0
PORTSMOUTH 1-0 4-1
TOTTENHAM 1-2 2-0

POINTS 26 22

So even with the loss at Spurs where we won last season, we are still 4 points better off than last season, with the added bonus that we have taken more points off our rivals Mancs and Chelsea. Admittedly that would be reduced to 2 if I had used Derby as the comparison for Stoke.

Always seems to go for the rich - We did well, so not all doom and gloom
