Perhaps it's true, we're just not good enough and this is *how* we're not good enough and you just have to accept it?
This is a huge part of the issue, no point in getting massively upset when we lose to lesser sides, it is where we currently are.

We are on a given day capable of beating a City or whoever but equally we are quite a distance behind them. Our days of being brilliant and even invincible are well behind us.
