We should definitely enjoy this, but there'll come a time when we'll need a sense of perspective again, so to intrude on the festive mood a little:
Following GW17 last season, Liverpool had 49 points, Leicester in second place had 39. United, in fifth, had 25. City, interestingly, had 35 points in third - which is the exact same amount they'll have this season, if they win both of their games in hand.
So, our 36 points represents real progress, and makes great inroads on the gap between Liverpool/City and us. But if we were facing the Liverpool of last season, we'd still be 13 points behind them at this stage. That's where we are, no more, no less.
Now, back to fun of being top of the league again, and enjoying the wonderful possibility of opening up a 6-point gap to Liverpool on Sunday.
