Fuck knows .. but 12 points clear after 21 games feels enourmous

It isn't just the 12 point gap to me. We have played away at all the sides in the top 8 except for Hull. W3 D2 L1. The more difficult games played and at nearly 2 points a game.

Agree...however come the back end of the season and the teams down the bottom end will be needing vital 3 point wins for survival, those games will just be as tough.

Proper banana skins.

Although it'll be the same for whoever is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc..

I agree with everything you say. Once a siege mentality sets into a side the become a different animal. Just look at Sheffield Wednesday. We're the only side to give them a big defeat. They came very close to beating Watford yesterday. Middlesbrough could only score once against them. Their problem is too many draws but they're already relegated after two points deductions.

My point was we've gone to who so far are our rivals and got results. They now have to come to us. We haven't had an easy run of games to put us 12 points or more and plenty of goals above the sides in 3rd or below. Our biggest rivals for the title are Middlesbrough and we won at their place 2-4.
