If that isn't progress then I don't know what is
I don't know where it's going so badly wrong right now because we seemed to be making some good signings but the City game aside we've been awful so far.
We got 83 points in 07/08. Its not about the points in 07/08 or last year, because a club charging the highest ticket prices in world football should be challenging for the title till the end (at least once in two seasons).

We also got 4th place (could be 3rd place) trophy comfortably the season before last. So we regress and progress in getting 4th place trophy. Where is the progress?

The ONLY sign of progress footballistically was winning the FA Cup trophy and nothing else. Our football is dire as ever, our tactics are dire as ever, our manager does not address the crucial areas. No progress in my mind.
