Be a good point if it was right. Subjectively it feels like it should be but here are the facts 12 games into the last 3 seasons (and don't forget this year would be even better if they hadn't met us and got battered):
1011 W9 D2 L1 F29 A12 PTS29
0910 W6 D6 L0 F24 A13 PTS24
0809 W8 D1 L3 F23 A12 PTS25
Just read that. Means nothing. The opposition at OT has been mainly in disarray apart from us. They have been very very very lucky to face Spurs, Arse & Chelski all at home, early doors, when they were missing players/in a mess. The away games have been mainly v shite apart from scousers & Stoke (who are also struggling) where they drew. They were shite vc Sunderland, outplayed by Norwich who but for terrible finishing would have beaten them. Everton have been struggling badly at home & they are probably lucky to have played them early too as they usually get better. Add to that their favourable Chump's Lg draw, compared to ours & yet they've struggled there too.
The have had a really helpful fixture list so far but if some of those teams get their shit together, they may not find the away games so easy.
