    2018/19
    Newcastle (a) 3 pts
    Fulham (h) 3 pts
    Man Utd (a) 3 pts
    Watford (a) 0 pts
    Liverpool (h) 0 pts
    Brighton (a) 3 pts

    2017/18
    Newcastle (a) 3 pts
    Stoke (h) 3 pts
    Man Utd (a) 0 pts
    Watford (a) 1 pt
    Liverpool (h) 3 pts
    Brighton (a) 1 pt

    So far we have scored 12 and conceded 7.
    Last season we had scored 13 conceded 5.

    So like for like we are 1 point up but have scored 1 less and conceded 2 more (using Stoke as the comparison with Fulham ... if I had used Swansea or WBA we would be 2 points better off this season ...and the goals would be scored 8 conceded 5 if I used the Swansea game or scored 9 conceded 5 if I used the WBA game. )

    Think this kind of shows how there has been a bit of a over reaction to the past 3 weeks.

    I will try and keep this updated so we can have an accurate comparison with last season.

    Interesting that 6 games in, Spurs have played 3 of the PL
    current top 6, yet in spite of the alleged "crisis" are :

    - averaging 2 pts per game
    - 3 pts up like for like with 2017-18

    If that is "crisis" , I wonder what "business as normal" will look like ...

    PL (like for like with 2017-18 after 7 games) : Pts +3 GF +1, GA +1.

    The concern is not so much the points at the moment, but the GF/GA.
    The good news is that Spurs have already played 5 of their away games
    at this early stage.

    Fixtures for October :

    October 3 – CL : Barcelona (H)
    October 6 - PL : Cardiff (H)
    October 20 - PL : West Ham (A)
    October 24 – CL : PSV Eindhoven (A)
    October 27 - PL : Man City (H)
    October 30/31 - LC : West Ham (A)

    Poor old Citeh, and their cruel away fixtures if the PL games were reversed.

    The Cardiff game is at Wembley but still a valid point

    Looking at our matches compared to the same games last season makes interesting reading.

    2018/19
    Newcastle (a) 3 pts
    Fulham (h) 3 pts ...swap with stoke
    Man Utd (a) 3 pts
    Watford (a) 0 pts
    Liverpool (h) 0 pts
    Brighton (a) 3 pts
    Huddersfield (a) 3pts
    Cardiff (h) 3pts ... swap with West Brom
    West Ham (a) 3pts
    Man City (h) 0 pts
    Wolves (a) 3pts .... swap with Swansea

    TOTAL ... W8 D0 L3 ... 24 points plus 9 GD

    2017/18
    Newcastle (a) 3 pts
    Stoke (h) 3 pts
    Man Utd (a) 0 pts
    Watford (a) 1 pt
    Liverpool (h) 3 pts
    Brighton (a) 1 pt
    Huddersfield (a) 3 pts
    West Brom (h) 1 pt
    West Ham (a) 3 pts
    Man City (h) 0 pts
    Swansea (a) 3pts

    TOTAL... W6 D3 L2 ... 21 points plus 11 GD

    So far we have scored 19 and conceded 10...we failed to score in one game.
    Last season we had scored 22 conceded 11...we failed to score in 2 games.

    I could have made us be plus 6 points this season by swapping round the replacements so Wolves replacement was West Brom (where we lost last season).

    This season we have had serious injury problems to contend with too.

    Our CL form is much worse but we have done a little better in the League Cup so far.

    All in all we have given our selves a solid base to build on.

    edit ... correct cos I made a dumbass mistake <doh>

    And so we come to the first real assessment of the season to date.

    The PL campaign is +6 pts "like for like" . Verdict : <applause>

    The League Cup campaign has been workmanlike. Verdict : meh.

    The CL campaign to date has effectively been snatching defeat from the
    jaws of victory. Verdict : <grr> :(


    December is going to be brutal, and will IMHO determine the tone for
    the rest of the season. There are 9 games to play, and they effectively
    come in two blocks :

    Block 1 = 5 games in 14 days
    Block 2 = 4 games in 11 days


    In terms of the PL season compass, there are an extra 8 "like for like"
    points up for grabs (so plenty of motivation there for the squad) .

    The CL now comes down to matching the Inter result in the last tie.
    Sadly as PSV have nothing to play for, that probably means needing
    to win at Barca. A real Audere est facere moment needed there.

    The League Cup QF tie is another NLD, and I suspect the results of the
    Barca game + the preceding PL NLD will cast the team sheets +
    determination in that game for both sides.


    There is comfort in the fact that Pochettino Spurs squads have repeatedly
    ramped up during the Christmas fixture period, and then have a very good
    2nd half PL campaign. However the injury list has been worse IMHO than
    previous seasons, and there is the chance that the WC summer will finally
    take its toil on our Bel/Inger Spurs.

    Time will now tell ...

    Point of order. On GA, does -2 mean 2 less or 2 worse?
