    Of course the problem was actually City and we didnt solve it- they did.
    Yes, that's league football. That's how it works!

    To misquote Chico Marx, "We only won because we finished first."

    That'll do.

    Yes, he does. Standard forty medals for the club to hand out at their discretion with more available on request.

    That's our task. Same as always- to do better next season.

    Anyway, nobody is assuming that! Except perhaps you and Bunnell.
    I'm going to say it for the rest of my life. It is the focus of every competitive sport.

    Oh ****, we are so good it is going to be very difficult to find ways to improve. We had better get started straight away.
