Back when I were a lad, they never bothered publishing the table until after 10 games had been played.
I saw a comment in one report this morning that mentioned the leadership of the table had changed hands three times over the weekend, which is nothing more than a preposterous side-effect of the games being spread out from Saturday morning to Monday evening. The table is meaningless until
all the extended weekend's fixtures have been played.
It would be rather jolly if they were still there at the end of the season...
Go and place a bet on it - you'll make a bookmaker very happy.
They're looking like a decent side now, and Moyes is doing a sterling job, but it would be a minor miracle if they were to pull off a top four place, never mind winning the league.
