Anybody else concerned at their goal difference?

I suppose I should be, but the bottom line for me is always points. They can have a plus 30 goal difference, it will mean nowt if we finish one point above them.
At last the voice of reason, out of the supposed top five teams we are the only one that does not punish teams, we can have 80% possesion and still only score one goal, its something we have to improve, scoring five goals does wonders for the moral no matter what circumstances.
You dont agree with Billy Nic then?

Yes. That 8-0 victory over Villa really helped their morale as did that 5-2 victory over us for Le Arse.
Or it just made them overconfident..
I am being pedantic, when we boss games it would nice if we could finish teams off sometimes.

What, did Sir Bill say he'd rather have a massive goal difference even if it meant ending he season with a point less?!!
I still say as long as we finish ahead of them by a point or more, their goal difference doesn't bother me mate...

brick, how come they have such easy fixtures coming up compared to us? I can barely see them dropping any points there where as we easily can. Surely we both still need to play most of the teams at least one more time??
For some reason our run looks much harder than Evertons and Arsenals...this is worrying.

Would not be surprised if we came 6th this year.

I suppose anywhere from 3rd to 9th is possible, but I'd surprised if it was lower than 5th.

Did the BBC predictor yesterday and it didn't make for good reading. Granted there are some tough games ahead for all, but ours looks horrible compared to all three of Arsenal, Everton and even Liverpool.

Love the positivity flowing through you mate, top stuff
Arsenal have been very inconsistent in terms of goalscoring. They have scored 5 or more goals something like 5 times in the league, which accounts for all of their goal difference and then some. They are great at killing off teams because they can move the ball about quickly and confuse poor defences who are trying to win the ball back quickly to get back in the game, while Walcott especially thrives against brick teams who are trying to attack after falling behind. Whenever they come up against a disciplined team, they struggle to score more than 1 goal.

Everton's is by far the hardest. Arsenal's the easiest, us and Liverpool about the same.
I'm not bothered about goal difference. It's points that count. 4th place is far more likely to be decided on points than GD.
It may be it's close enough at the end to be settled by GD, then so be it. Our aim in each game though has to be to win it, by how many is secondary.
ATM it does look incredibly tight between us and Arsenal, but beating them 2-1 will be worth a whole lot more than beating Norwich 2-0 rather than 1-0.
Re Billy Nick, one of his great regrets was not winning the title more than once. We were never prevented by GD or goal average as it was in those days. It woz points that robbed us.

we had the best GA, but no title.
I think Bill would have rather had the title and not the best GA.
