I have to keep reminding myself that it's a marathon, not a sprint.

1st - 25 points - 50.6% to win the league
2nd - 24 points - 19.9% to win the league

Surprising that 1 point makes that much difference % wise, but i guess it's all ties in with our unreal xg and xga stats too, which are the best in the league.

Out of their 7 wins 6 of them were by a single goal. Out of our 7 wins only 1 of them was by a single goal and that was last game where they got their late goal.

They've also only scored 15 goals in 11 games. We've scored 17 in just 3 games. I could be kind to them and swap a 5-0 for a 4-0 for only 16 goals

I'm pretty sure last year during the FA Cup run we were described as 'potless Coventry' (i.e. penniless) - does anyone else remember that? This is the same team...

Boro are only around 6th in the expected table while we’re top by some margin.

No club has scored more goals across Europe's top five leagues and they currently boast the best goals-per-game ratio in the second tier for more than 100 years.

Wow

Soton are still ones to watch imo. Based on stats they should be second I think

Absolutely...Southampton and Ipswich are underperforming by 8 and 7 points, respectively - should be 2nd and 3rd respectively).
Poor old Blackburn are underperforming by 9 points.

Impossible to know.
I've found some sites which will list down total club, and individual salaries, but surely they can only be guesswork.
For what it's worth, we were in the bottom third though.
Leicester were miles ahead at the top with multiple players on £75k pw.

The opposite for me.

My parents are mid 70’s so I want them to do a lap of the premier league grounds before they potentially struggle to go any longer

A ¼ of a century ago it could be. I never imagined as a 29 year old in 2001 leaving Villa Park that we wouldn't be promoted any time soon
