The fact that we were 13 points behind them at the turn of the year adds a certain a comic element to it.
KING KENNY LIDS
Can we not just be happy?
We are above them ffs - not saying we had a good season or that we are going to be boss next time but we did better than them.
Enjoy the little things in life you bunch of miserable buggers
Yeah you can be happy about finishing above the RS, but remembering "certain things" isn't being miserable - just a more complete picture - can't see whats wrong in that.
Like any of us have forgot those certain things. What's wrong is that we have one thread about finishing above them and it's 90% people arguing about why we shouldn't actually care. We have about 9000 about us losing the derbies.

This is only the second time in my lifetime were we've finished above them. (Okay so third but second since I could actually speak and walk.)
Does it make up for us bottling the semi? Of course not. Does it make it a good season? Of course not. Does the fact they beat us three time and won a cup take the shine of it? Of course it does.
But it's still nice. It still gives you something to throw at the RS fans. If you can't enjoy this then you're going to be fecking miserable. We've got bugger all else to celebrate.
Basically it's like we lost our jobs three weeks ago and this week I found a fiver in a gutter, I would like to celebrate my good fortune without having people just shout me down with facts and figures about how if I still had my job I'd make that in an hour, anyway. It's true but it's also mean spirited to bring it up. I feel bad enough about losing the job already without it overshadowing everything else.
RAWK is a brilliant read at the moment lads.
I will supply
Are you serious, Kenny has to review the season. It's nothing short of a ****ing disaster of a season, we all know it, we've all got to much love for Kenny to say that just maybe he isn't the man for the job
I certainly believe we have a better squad than at least 2 if not 3 of the teams that finished above us in the PL this season.
For me, we were not mentally tough enough in the league, mainly because for a long time we have had nothing to play for.
The cups were different winning one and getting to the final of the other - beating Man U; Chelsea; City; the Bitters...
We certainly wont win the league next year but we are well capable of finishing top 4 and building from there. (BaLLOCKS)
and the 8th place prize goes to "TheGhost" with this beautiful statistical monologue of crapness
First ever wins for wigan in the PL and fulham at Anfield against liverpool
Lowest league points total (52) since 1953/54 season (37)
Lowest total league goals scored (47) since 1970/71 season (42)
Lowest number of league wins (14) since 1953/54 season (9)
Lowest number of league home wins since 1948/49 season (5)
Lowest number of league home goals scored (24) in our entire history
Lowest number of league home points total (27) since 1948/49 season (25)

That's not progress.
Laugh along with those loveable reds who are we???
