Over the course of a season you pretty much end up where you deserve. The season we finished 2nd was because of Spurs' amusing capitulation. So fine, let's say we really should have finished 3rd. That still isn't average.
We had a poor season that year Letters, you can dress it up anyway you like but we capitulated after Christmas. The fact that all of our traditional rivals were all in crisis made it even worse, we had little to no pressure that season and the league was there for the taking. We stuffed it big time, we were top going into the New Year too.

What made it worse was we were a distant 2nd, it was digusting.
