If you are going to finish 6th you may as well finish 8th, 9th, 10th.
Are we? How does on judge that.

There is no divine reason why we should be above City or United for example, they would regularly outspend us so one would maybe expect them to have better playing resources who in turn yield better performances and results.

Even on a good day how many of our side would get into the City 11? None?

I think what has been evident this year is the abject level of performance which has happened too many times, yet amazingly we still find ourselves in 6th place and kicking distance of the teams who are clearly better than us.

Last Thursday, **** me. Playing a bunch of Swedish no hopers (sorry BGS) who were still pre-season. Then yesterday with a vastly different personnel and one player out of the equation by being cup-tied. There has been others this season also, away from home as the home form is what is keeping us above the rest.

Any team can fúck up. We now expect to fúck up.
