Don't be fooled by the Southamptons and West Hams of this world. They're both having decent to good seasons, because everything has clicked for them, like a dream. Especially Southampton. A few major parts of Southampton's success:

- Low expectations.
- Unknown quantity.
- Very good manager (who will now be on the radar of many richer clubs in Europe), especially as he was well known as a player.
- No European football.

We can possibly relate to most of that. Next season will be much harder for them, for multiple reasons.

Lets not forget too that in the past 10 years, we've finished in the top 7 in 8 of those years. That is CONSISTENCY.

*WE* are still the model that a lot of these non-mega rich teams aspire to.

Don't be fooled or downhearted by a bad few months for us.

I'm not convinced your right mate but that's a great pitch - well in!! COYB

Very happy kid in '63; ecstatic kid in 66; absolutely top of the world in 70. Was convinced winning stuff was something that just happened.

Apparently I was wrong!

Being born a few months after our last trophy, I've long since given up hope of winning something in my lifetime lol

Imagine being in a raucous Goodison (still terraces in those days) after a victory against QPR, two or three games to spare, and every single Blue - including yourself, of course - singing "Hand it over! Hand it over! Hand it over, Liverpool!"

Imagine that.

That's how great it is.

Ah Aldo him an Houghton used to drink in the same pub as me and my mates in Woolton Village he was actually not a bad guy we abused him ruthlessly for a long time after the Wayne Clarke derby,he took it well but then he had no choice

The Gardners by any chance? Always thought he was a bit of an idiot from experience.

It's a wonderful feeling.

I feel like the last of a dying breed here, actually having seen us win stuff. Like the old soldiers of WW1, of whom there are now none, one by one there'll be none of us left one day........

...aye, aye we're not that old Grouch.
