The way our recent seasons tend to unfold has become very predictable, floating around in the top 4 league places but never managing to eventually finish top.
Has this trend made us...well...a bit boring to follow? :rubchin:

Frustrating yes, boring no.
We still produce some of the most scintillating football on the planet when focused.
I doubt we will top the tree again with the current boss althought that said, I think this year is even more open than last.
If he doesn't do it this year, he should bow out gracefully.
I think so. The past 5 years especially when top 4 is the only priority.
It has been a bit better with the arrival of Ozil and Sanchez as they are exciting players.
You could have messi in this team and I don't think things would change much.
Well we don't know yet that we're finishing top, do we? It's only December and we've only lost twice.Quote:

I've certainly lost interest over the past 5-6 years.
I never go anymore and generally only have a passing interest in the game unless it's Chelsea or Spurs. Perhaps we're just getting old, BWB? Outwardly supporting a football club really is a young man's game, I think.
Unless you're some sort of anti-social deviant, of course.
"Boring" is a bit strong, I think. Certainly though, we've come down from the triple high of going unbeaten, reaching the Champions League final and moving to a new stadium all in a short space of time.Quote:

Games like last night are a good indication that we will not be finishing top.Quote:

If the Premier League is as competitive as we like to think it is, then it's only right and proper we should lose once in a while, imo. Same as everyone else.Quote:
