Good info, Slaphead. Like you, I do like to look at stats and history. If nothing else, your summary should remind us of the many barren years we endured and perhaps refocus our appreciation for what we’ve experienced in the last couple of years.
That said, I think the comparison falters a little when you consider that we started the season as Champions, led from the front early on and were top at Christmas (very easy to forget that) . We had most of the best players in their positions in the league and, by many people’s estimations, the best manager in the world. In all of those previous years, we were either in complete decline or trying to re-establish ourselves so there were limited expectations. I think that’s why we’re all so frustrated and bemused this season.
