10 away wins in a row. If the EPL season started on January 1 2013 we'd be top of the league. Can't put it down to a fluke anymore. We are showing a sustained period of form for the first time in a long time. And with more players due to return in the coming weeks we are in a seriously good position this season.

On current form there are only two teams on earth I wouldn't expect to beat if we played them today. Bayern and Barcelona. I think we can match anyone else and I think we'll finish 1st in our group.

And we'll put at least 3 past Stoke.

I don't think that is an unreasonable comment. Over the last 9 months we have outperformed United and City and Chelsea. I expect us to outperform Dortmund and Napoli in this group stage. Napoli are as good as anyone in Italy right now and after Bayern there is noone in Germany worth considering besides Dortmund.

The only other team is Madrid and based on current form I'd be confident.

I stand by it. I'd be confident of our chances against anyone other than the two best teams in the world.

Ramsey is in god-mode ATM. If he can keep it up through the winter period then I'll start fapping.

The best thing is we're getting results with a skeleton crew. Arteta looks to be returning to the squad for this weekend. If we keep winning until our reinforcements return and give us a real bench we'll be in a very goo position.

Key is to not drop many points between now and the window.

If the results keep going our way until the injured reinforcements come we will be in a position to cement ourselves at the top of the league and win our group which ensures us a much easier path through the round of 16.

The worst of the injury crisis looks to be over. Cazorla is due in 10 days.

If we're at the top of our group on January 1 and close to the top of the league there is no reason we can't go deep in Europe and all the way in the league.

Dude relax, we're going ok but it's a marathon not a sprint

I know it's not a sprint, that's why I was talking about what needs to happen over a number of months and not just the short term.

We're already hammered by injuries and a striker short of where we need to be. BUT if we keep winning with those difficult circumstances we'll be in prime position to go far when we the injuries stop and the window opens.

This is almost the perfect season for me so far, both my teams are at the top of the table and separated only by goal difference!

We've no had relatively easy starts. The only decent team either of us have played is each other.

I'll start getting excited if we get a result against one of the big three. Well, one of the big two and manchester united.

Oh for sure, still, it is amusing to say the least to see my heritage clubs on top of the league after five games.

The thing is, Spurs tend to drop most of their points against the kinds of teams we have played so far. We aren't relying on Bale to get us a goal, we are actually making lots of excellent chances and we have more than two or three players who can score goals regularly. Exciting stuff.

I really think United is an also ran this season. The big question will be to see if Arsenal and Tottenham can take points off Chelsea and City. If we can it's genuinely anyones season.

Another day another win. Something like 17 wins and 2 draws in our last 20 games. Most importantly we won with a team that included a bunch of kids and even the return of Bendtner who didn't f**k up his penalty.

Last season we were losing points to everybody at the corresponding time of the year. We haven't had an opening month this consistent in years. The fact that we've got to the end of September and still are well in contention is a massive improvement.

And being in 1st place and beating the team in 2nd is a win against somebody of "importance".
