This exactly. The last few seasons in the Championship, for us to drop below halfway was unthinkable as we had fought so hard to build a team that could compete for the holy grail of promotion to the promised land. How many seasons do you think it will take for us to establish ourselves as a top...
This, sort of. I don't agree with the last line though. My perspective is that we get to play the 'uber' teams in the PL and an exceptional season sees us looking at Europe ( maybe not this season!). If we are always looking to compete against the top six when we play them, then our quality of...
