    Okay, will take 'flak' for this but think we can beat Man Utd. Am going for 9 points.

    Oh there's no doubt we can it just depends on whether we play well or not.

    Historically over the past couple of years we raise our game against Utd et al - hence why l think we can beat them.

    It's a good time to play United, Chelsea and Liverpool now as they're still finding their feet. Teams like Newcastle, Swansea, Palace, WHU and others find ways to stop them, so it shouldn't be above us. But we are not much successful against top teams. We take a point or three now and then against Arsenal and United, but when was the last time we saw a win against any of Chelsea, City, Liverpool or Totteham? I don't think we had beaten Liverpool or Tottenham since our return to Premierleague.

    Man U (h) - Win
    Swansea (h) - Loose
    Chelsea (a) - Draw
    Leicester (h) - Win
    Liverpool (a) - Win
    Bournemouth (h) - Loose

    I'd be happy with 10 pts

    No easy matches in the first five (and the sixth isn't a gimme, either). I'd be pretty pleased with more than seven points, as it's a tougher slate than the five previous.

    Although we only lost one out of five, I had hoped to get more points from that first tranche of games before things get more difficult.

    We beat City in Poch's first season...I know we had several surprising results then. Just checked Player and we took 4 points off Chelsea that season: draw with Nigel and 2-1 win with Poch. And we beat Liverpool in March and September 2013 under Poch.

    I wouldn't say they are much more difficult. You can balance the more difficult teams against more home games.

    I'd argue the only massive disappointment in the first 5 games was the 3-0 loss at home to Everton, and they've gone on to beat Chelsea. Other than that we got draws from some tricky away fixtures and a comprehensive win in our only other home fixture.

    I know my glass is half full at the moment, must not be drinking fast enough.

    Man U (h) - Win (This could kick start our season)
    Swansea (h) - Draw
    Chelsea (a) - Draw
    Leicester (h) - Win
    Liverpool (a) - Loss (always bloody happens)
    Bournemouth (h) - Win

    So 11 points. Easy!

    Well yeah,the fact you had to go a couple of years back to find those wins proves my point that it doesn't happen very often.

    Very disappointed with 6pts from our first 5 games against Newcastle, Everton, Watford, Norwich and WBA.

    These next 6 of course look tougher but the signs are there and with a bit of luck we can get a good return here. I think we can be unbeaten in the home games, it's just away, whilst unbeaten, need more conviction.
