Same applies when predicting what we'll do. We know. We can delude ourselves if we want but it won't change a thing.

How many seasons are you going to need before you can spot the blatant pattern?
It's the same rationale every season. "No one has started well except for so and so". Well 1 team is all it takes to start well and before we know it we're out of it. These average, bare minimum performances are all too familiar for us and should have everyone's alarm bells ringing.
