    You tell me
    Neither, it's not as black and white as you like to think it is.

    Based on the sh*tfest he's laid on this season, I don't think he deserves it, I don't think the points total always paints an accurate picture of how good a team is personally, sometimes circumstances intervene.

    Unless we finished lower down of course in which case you'd say it does accurately reflect things. Goalposts...

    There is some truth in what you say of course, we were lucky to finish 2nd last year but top 4 was never seriously in doubt last year or the year before and you don't finish in the top few for a million years in a row by luck as you well know.

    I never said it was just luck, what I did say is that he fortune does seem to favour him somewhat when there's a dogfight for top 4, even if we have been awful for almost all of the season, we do seem to get results despite performing pretty poorly, this season being an example. Liverpool on the other hand are great one minute and poor the next, we don't ever seem to be great at the moment.

    Well teams that become champions get the kind of results when not playing well

    Makes you wonder how we might do if the pressure to win the title was as intense as the pressure to win top four....i think you notice that when top four is in danger we tend not to concede as many goals, if we play a top side we will draw or fluke a win.

    Lester in talks with Woy Hodgson
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Not most of the season, they might go through spells, but not prolonged ones like we do.

    Champions on the whole have spells when they play great stuff and win well.
