This type of talk reminds me of rantards saying "Dude don't overlook our opponent this week."

Eh, I'm just going by history. We've had 7 years of consistent bad luck with injuries. This year we've already been tremendously unlucky. We are also less than 10 games into the season. Again, we've had purple patches of form when we were terrible. In 2008 we didn't lose a league game from November of that year to May of 2009. Yet we were a shite team. We weren't particularly great last March when we started this run, but we've gotten results despite that. This year we actually look dynamic, but we need injury luck in order to compete. We have a little more leeway this year as City, Chelsea, and Man U have new coaches who need an adjustment period. If we can get through this October looking as good as we have in September, then I think we have a good chance of being in good shape after the winter, where we historically have struggled.

Just enjoy the ride is what I'm saying

Ha, I am. This team is tremendously fun to watch, especially in comparison to the beginning of last year. But's the first week of October.
