OK mate the table doesn't lie, thus Leicester should now really be classified amongst the elite in the premiership, also CVhelsea are now at best a lower half team or maybe even a relegation battler.
As for winning trophies, out of us and West Ham who do you think is the most likely to win a trophy this year mate? just out of interest?
Check out the league positions for more than a 18 month period mate before you start trying to cast things in stone, maybe be more fair to use over the past 4-5 years - I'm sure Byram could remember that long ago as he isn't that young after all is he?
Actually every man and his dog who has wrote or commented about us this season thinks we are a under performing team - besides Chelsea THE most under performing one, actually pretty sad to see that Evertonians seem to be the only ones who disagree with that lol
Question for you, currently sitting just 6 points away from 6th position as we are, do you think that this season we have been underperforming?
Yes, and massively under performing. Just going on games we have conceded silly goals in we could be minimum 10 points probably more, better off. We are a team that scores 3, then just goes and concedes 4 to make sure we aren't winning. We are the team that twice this year conceded a 3-2 with the last kick of the game. We are the team that limited leiscter to 2 goal scoring oppertunites all game, one they missed, and yet they scored 3 times?! We are the club who have a 19 goals striker so far and have only won 6 games? or a midfielder who is close to 10 assists now surely? So yeah, we are hugely under performing to the point that the norm under martinez is currently mid table rather than top 5. Throw anything at the team, we are stuggling to get 3 points, and we struggled to get 3 points last year as well, hardly a coincidence.
If leiscter get into the champions league then they would be there on performance alone by amassing enough points. Would that make them better than us? Yes it would, they could beat more teams, including us, to get them points. Chelsea have under performed as well, but if come the end of the season they are in the top 6-7 then they have had a indifferent season. Point is if they finished 18th then they would deservidly go down as one of the worst teams in the league, champions or not. The League doesn't lie.
And over the past 5 seasons, ok our last 5 league positions, from oldest to now, 7-7-6-5-11. So outside of europe 3 out of 5 times, pretty much means we didn't achieve anything in those seasons. What does that tell you?
