Well we don't know yet that we're finishing top, do we? It's only December and we've only lost twice.Originally Posted by Bergkamp Was Best
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?
God help us if we were West Ham or Ipswich Town.
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.
Money has ruined things, hasn't it.

People forget each season is different because one tends to blend into another. Last season was not about finishing 4th. by Xmas everyone outside Leicester thought the title was between us and Spurs.
Other way round, isn't it? Leicester City looked more likely champions than we did precisely because of our past few seasons; they were on a solid run, albeit for *them*, of course, whereas we were still .. well.. The Arsenal.

Practically no-one believed Leicester could win it until February or March.
I thought you did, at least? Surely the assumption was that at least one of the favourites would get their act together in time. Similarly, no-one will believe in us again until we do actually win it, despite the fact that at various points, we look as though we might.

I attended a game quite recently, I think. Bayern away it was. 2013.
Nice couple of days; chilly, but... the Schweinshaxe!
Games like last night are a good indication that we will not be finishing top.
Of course teams lose games but I thought we were pretty limp yesterday. And it would have been a excellent opportunity to get some valuable points before a big game against Manchester City.
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.
It has no bearing on the Manchester City match though. Different game and a' that.
