on my last season before an error put paid to my ipswich game, I was 5 points clear before facing Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal, and lost all three. Also newly promoted to serie A with Cagliari in 07, the first three games were fiorentina (champions), Juve and Milan, 2 of the games were away. I actually got at least most if not all of the points from that and found myself with a large (at least 7) point lead as late as late november before reality kicked in.
