Do you have any evidence for your first statement. Most of the time the best team will be leading the league half way through. When due to luck or a run of good results. the best team is behind, it remains the case that the best team is likely to catch up. I didn't think we had a prayer for third at the beginning of the season and I still think we've only got the fourth or fifth best squad so I don't really see how we can be accused of under-performing. The turning point for me was Defoe missing what would have been the winner in injury time against City, followed a few seconds later by Ballotelli (who Webb sent off retrospectively) winning a penalty and scoring from it. Up until that point we were playing as if we could beat anyone. Since then we've looked a bit tired. The Arsenal match was odd - after 30 mins, we were 2-0 up and could have had two more, but we were playing very badly and I thought we would lose even then. But I agree about the away form.
And no we are in the CL defending our CL TROPHY and your tin pot club are in Europa When FFP comes in your tin pot club will be screwed as you don't generate near the revenue we do especially in that **** hole lego ground of yours
