Liverpool and the spuds have been horribly inconsistent, Utd have their problems and the chavs aren't exactly dominant, but we are still languishing in 6th. Highest ticket prices, third highest wage bill and hundreds of millions splashed in the transfer windows. But we are worse than ever. It's inexcusable.
Spot on, the only reason we're anywhere near top 4 is because those other teams have blown hot and cold, the fact we're 6th despite this just shows how awful we are, but then we know that when fans start celebrating 0-0 draws and 3-3 at home as if it's some sort of victory.

We thought last season was bad, we've somehow managed to get even worse this season, quite some achievement, but with that man in charge nothing is inconceivable. Watching him complain about a penalty decision and fixtures at the weekend was cringeworthy, somehow he never notices just how poor we are or how many errors we make, always someone elses fault.
