ok, I take your point, but turning up in the prem week in week out to lose made us a

laughing stock last year

Games like Liverpool away, Blackburn away, games we were 2-0 down after 20 mins, early game like portsmough where we were 2-0 down, yeah we pulled it back to 2-2, so what, we allowed team after team to score first before trying to act on it

The only time last year we looked good was Bolton home, Liverpool home but it was a couple of serious errors that screwed us up (see flem, and I suppose charlton) and the run from Man utd onwards, followed by the disgrace that was Fulham

So last season tinged on 6 good games, which were wins, 18 points, and 32 disgraceful management gimmies for any team playing us, with the exceptions of us coming back after going a goal down, or games where we took the lead, then surrendered possession until a team scored and went for us

A mess all round
