    Not really, they have been almost as **** as us.
    No wonder Chelsea have walked the league, just like Leicester last season there has been no pressure on them.

    2013-14: 1st compared to 7th
    2014-15: 2nd compared to 4th
    2015-16: 4th compared to 5th
    2016-17: 3rd or 4th compared to 5th or 6th

    I believe the phrase they might want to start using is "Mind the gap"

    Not at all, if you want to gauge your success by the way we have played the last 4 seasons then by all means feel happy <ok> :emoticon-0100-smile

    I had hopes that glazerfodder would be a new addition to the list.
    But his bitterness seems to have boiled over now. Perhaps next season eh. :)

    IMHO he will have a tough job next year forcing Diego out of a top 4 slot.

    I agree with a number of others that if there were one thing I would have done differently this year, it would have been the FA semifinal. I wish we would have put out our strongest team in the hopes we could have kept playing our best football. Tbf, Chelsea started with Hazard and Costa on the bench, I believe. Away to Liverpool and West Ham were also strangely poor efforts. But, all things considered, I'm very pleased with what Spurs did this year, especially the quality of play and the way we gave WHL a magnificent send-off.

    Everton have previewed next season's kit, which is launched properly tomorrow:


    That's not the right colour, is it?

    The last time their kit wasn't royal blue, back in 1997-8, they stayed up on goal difference.

    Not really a precedent you want to follow, is it?

    The adulterer, racist , has put the Chavs ahead.

    Edit: Capone equalises.

    I've just seen that if Chelsea win tonight and Sunday (they will), they will be the first team to record 30 wins in a 38 game season.

    However, we bottled it. Don't forget that.

    Quite an honest, humble assessment from a man we've taken much pleasure in deriding. Certainly not as embedded up his own backside as his nemesis across the city.

    Deep down, I do worry about a resurgent City next season. True, Pep has made some horrendously bad misjudgments this season, but they probably have the best array of attackers in the league and have limitless resources. If he has truly learned the harsh lessons of the PL, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Arsenal and Liverpool don't scare me, the two Manc clubs do.
