Stats...

Interesting tweets from MOTD yesterday...

@BBCMOTD: Stoke?s total of four goals from eight games is only the 14th time a team has scored four or fewer in their opening eight PL games.

@BBCMOTD: Seven of the previous 13 Premier League teams that scored four or fewer in their opening eight PL games went down #MOTD

Then again...

@BBCMOTD: Thanks for your replies.Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton have both kept five clean sheets in the league this season #MOTD

So whilst we're in the bottom 3, I don't think things are anywhere near as concerning as some make out given the tough run of opening games we've had.
Stoke have only scored four goals and are a point above us.
We're one of only three teams to score against Southampton in the Prem so far... oddly Sunderland's solitary point came from a 1-1 draw against Southampton.
Goal difference has hurt us in the last two games. -4 worse off because of our final 10 minutes in the two games.
However, goal diff aside, we're as near to the bottom 2 as we are Manchester United in 8th.

Things could be better, and I think they will be through November and December. I will retain perspective whilst the normals and racists scream at the top of their voices. They are mostly the generation born in an instant society where they demand everything NOW!
