Not many thought Fulham, who endure more ups and downs than a pogo stick, would be sixth top of the Premier League three points ahead of the so-called richest club in the world.
But there we are. It is true - the Cottagers are at No 6 compared to Newcastle at No 10 having three wins against one and 12 goals to eight for us. Can you believe it? Three victories and two draws from their opening seven games and unbeaten at home.
That is why football is such an unpredictable, exciting, crazy game adored by millions the world over. Except that United will want to redress the balance double quick this Saturday afternoon. I mean, we can't be having that!
