    To be honest seeing Leicester top makes me angry. The reason for this is that if we had been able to keep our best players and added to them over the last couple of years we could be a real contender for the league title. I don't believe the quality gap between the usual suspects and the rest of the league is as big as it once was as every team in the premier league could now afford to buy top talent from around the world and if ambitious enough keep it.
    This season more than last proves that it's a lottery for the top four.

    Consistency (the drum Ron keeps banging) is the key. We were so close last season...just the odd draw turned into a win or loss turned to a draw. Luckily for us Arsenal won a cup which got us (briefly) into Europe.....we should have finished top 6. We had the same slump we are having now which blew it....though we could still have clawed it back. Saints were stronger last season (as we really miss Morgan and Clyne), but that could be overcome by toughening up. I too am annoyed by Leicester....not the team, but by an opportunity missed.
