It took us until January to win our first away game in the prem in our first season, its surprisingly more difficult to get any sort of result away than it is at home Like you guys, we too have a ridiculously difficult start - Manu, Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal in the first 6! - so any points will be a welcome bonus as im sure it is for you guys.
I think 5 points is realistic but I would be happy just to get 3 on the board after these difficult games. Home games are where we will get our points, unfortunately our first 3 home games are against man city, everton and spurs. So anything we get from these 6 games is a bonus IMO.
I'd take that! We'll get an early season hammering (probably off City) to soon knock that optimism out of you.....
I reckon we can get 11 points from those 6 games, and shock a few people in the process. you just gotta Keep The Faith. We are going to win 2 of them Shirley!!!!!!! But I'll tell you which 2 in the prediction league.
Anyway i got us down for 16 pts from the first 6 games, reckon Man City will hold on for a draw against us
Now we have completed the first six games and we have secured 8 points on the table. Who was over-optimistic and who were just being silly. Make your own mind up, I just wish I did as well in the prediction league!

Originally I was going to stick with the guys who had predicted the scores but then I though "fug it" I'll put them all inbut you beat me to it.
I much prefer an overview rather than get bogged down with specifics. Lol! Must be all my managerial training. How's the weather at home guys? Been on Algarve since Friday and not seen the bloody sun yet. I want a refund. Back for Newcastle though.
