"Back to normality"

If being a big embarrassment to the Sky 4 is "normality" for your lot, who are we to question that.
 
"Agree at 2nd place and fighting for the league, we are an embarrassment."

Indeed.
How can a "big" club like the Poool with annual revenues 70m Euros odd more than
a "small" club like Spurs, finish below them in the PL for 4 seasons running.

And AFTER "transition mode" , ONLY be 9 pts ahead in the PL having played a game more.

And they wonder why there is an article dedicated solely to their club. :D

Its a 10 point gap with the superior goal difference.

Dont know why Im arguing with a set of fans that are competing with the likes of Newcastle and Everton for 5th place anyway.

Support a club who have embarrassed my "big" club in the PL 4 seasons running ??
It just doesn't make sense for you to do so, does it.

<transition mode> :D

We like to think it's the best league in the world, the CL says otherwise.

Suarez signed a contract did he? That's funny, so did Bale you know - he still went, and so will Suarez if Real come knocking!...

Anybody with a brain can see it isn't the best in the world and has declined rapidly over the last 3/4 years.

Anyone with a brain can see that the PL must by definition be in "transition mode" . ;)

regardless of whether we beat Arsenal, I don't think we'll finish in the top 4. To be honest, we don't deserve it and we haven't been good enough this season.

We don't deserve to be top but are for the time being. At the end of the day all the league is about is just getting points on the board. I think top four was gone for you guys after Norwich but if Chelsea and City are able to beat Arsenal which is likely than a win for you guys would only put you a few points behind them in theory.

I wondered how long it'd be till you reacted to that comment about which is the best league! it's your favourite topic of discussion isn't it, DL?! <laugh> <ok>
 
"We don't deserve to be top but are for the time being."

You played the games. You got the points.
What is in your favour over Citeh is that Jose knows how to do what it takes to see a
title out on a game by game basis. Citeh at their very best should be miles gone.
The fact that they ain't (periods of inconsistency) this season is very telling.

It'll change from week to week/game to game, IMO, as I mentioned yesterday.
Liverpool's stunning form won't continue in the way it currently is. They don't seem to have had a bad spell yet this season; something that every teams gets at some point. I'm not saying they'll fall apart, but a few games which they might have expected to win, might result in draws, and potentially the odd defeat.
 
"Wow Spurs must be really crap then"

In such a league, imagine being a team who finishes 10+ points below Spurs.
There ought to be a name for such a club X (X is complete and utter <name> ) ...

If Mourinho had City's squad and Pellegrini had ours City would have won the league by early April (mathematically).
 
"If Mourinho had City's squad and Pellegrini had ours City would have won the league by early April (mathematically)."

He wouldn't have tolerated the early season performances from those players.
It will be interesting. Will Citeh get back on the rails to their best, and make the efforts of their
rivals irrelevant ?? Or will Jose just do all his rivals in the coming "six pointers" a game at a time ??
