Good post Billy as always.
Yes it's by far the worst. I mean Spurs have the same amount of clean sheets and have conceded four less goals in six months.
FOUR! Amazing stuff

Hard to tell at this stage. Pool doing well atm, so are Spurs. Man Utd and Chelsea are wobbling a bit. It is going to be tight. Arsenal seems vounerable, especially if Sánchez left this month. See what happens
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure if the stats would back it up, but I get the impression L'pool have more of a habit of going on silly runs where they drop points to lesser rivals.
I know every team does, I just get the feeling L'pool are more prone to them.
In his car crash seasons, Mourinho's already lost the dressing room by this point. Hard to see him losing it from here on in, and he'll continue to grind out results whilst driving more and more fans to the hobby of sticking needles in their eyes.
Chelsea are the unknown quantity, imo. You ought to cruise to 2nd if you got your sh·it together, but the rumours have been circulating for too long for everything to be rosy with Conte. And Hazard could be a volatile element if Madrid are really flitting around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For sure Jose knows how to grind out results, he’s well known for it. Hazard won’t leave CFC this Jan neither is Conte for that matte. It will depend on what the club does next summer, if they show ambition and buy some quality players then I can’t see Conte wanting out tbh. It will be a struggle to keep Hazard, tho the club are doing what they can to convince him to stay. But If he left it will be for a record transfer fee.
Nah, I wasn't thinking about Haz going now.
The question is, will he be all that bothered with the league if his head gets turned and his heart becomes set on a move?
Potential bonuses aside, he wouldn't have anything great to gain in helping Chelsea to CL qualification. He already has a bigger stage to shine on in the CL, not to mention the fact he has a World Cup to look forward to in the summer.

I think it’s close between Liverpool and Utd but wouldn’t like to call it either way.

True. Which is why he is not in a rush to extend. If he doesn’t extend by the start of next season he will be sold. I won’t blame him though, our recent signings does not inspire him to stay, and he won’t achieve greater things in his career, if he is surrounded by mediocre players, is he ?
Liverpool due to being below the other 2 teams, the fact that they've just sold a big player, and their general vulnerability under Klopp, which may or may not be improved by VVD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We also have conceded the least amount of goals at home this season and are also joint top with City for clean sheets but hey lets not wash over us shipping a load of goals at the start of the season.
We have also just signed the best defender in the world
Ok, you might need 3 or 4 signings including someone to share the creative load with EH, but all in all I think you're being a bit harsh on your current squad.
Last off season was maybe not so good a window for you, even though you do seem to have added fair depth, but Kante the season before was a top-drawer addition.

We're only one win away from potentially being above those two teams. Plus we have narrowed the gap on those teams considerably. If we keep up our current form we've got a great chance of finishing higher.
I don't understand how Liverpool are more vulnerable when we have lost less games.
I have only seen Liverpool once this season. they looked very vulnerable when we walloped you 4-1
Still banging on about a singular game months ago.
How very spurs. Did you get the DVD for Christmas?
A lot will depend on refereeing favouritism as always, many more gifted penalty`s like the one we saw against Everton and the Mousers are certainties for 4th place
