Does our season seem much worse because.....

[Letters]

Spurs doing so well - looking like such a good side and good to watch - is certainly not helping.
I don't think they will overhaul Chelsea, they have a much harder run-in so it's still Chelsea's to lose.
But actually, they were dangerously close to winning the title last year too so that's not different from last year.
Interestingly we're actually only one point worse off than we were at this stage last year, but it does feel a lot worse.
Maybe it's because it just looks like the players have given up, maybe it's just a cumulative thing and every disappointing season feels worse than the last disappointing season.

Oh also, because all the big sides failed last year we were never a million miles away from Leicester or Spurs, this year they're back so I think that's partly why it feels worse.
Right now we're in 6th, 18 points off the top. This time last year with only one more point we were 3rd, 8 points off the top.

Comparing points accumulation from one season to another is a mug's game, last season we finished 2nd with just over 70 points which is the first time that's happened in about 15-16 years.

This season in terms of performances is far, far worse than last season. 7 points from our last nine away games in the league.......that's relegation form.

My one last hope for the season is that it would be hilarious if in the year they finally finished above us, we went on to beat them in the cup final. That would sting.

That was the point of my 2nd post. We have more-or-less the same points but last year we were poor but it was masked by everyone else being even poorer. This year it hasn't been.

Not interested in us winning any more games this season, I think Wenger needs to be humbled if at all possible. If he signs a new contract he should have nothing to cling to, nothing he can spin it with.

Needs to be exposed for the selfish old man that he is

Two outrageously dodgy pens in the last minute to beat them 3-2 in the final, just as they are celebrating the win. Then Alli and Kane announcing they are off to Madrid and Poch packing it in to go to Barca. And their new stadium turns out to have 59,999 seats because somebody miscounted.

This would be worth all of the pain that we have been through!

Our season seems worse because other teams have done better & mainly because it is worse - for us anyway.

Good luck to the scum if they win it - they have played better and more consistently than us, and more importantly, they seem to be more interested in the 'goals for' stat than the 'possession' stat.

Tbh, if Spurs do win it with their run in then fair play to them. They are looking like a properly good team right now and, much as we might not want to admit it, they're far better than us to watch.
