Hull, Villa, Stoke, Swansea, West Brom, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland,

have all scored more goals than us (only Palace and Cardiff haven't).

They just *aren't* in exactly the same situation as us. (Some may have different or even bigger problems, but hardly anyone is as stifled, conservative and unambitious as we are. Which is what underlies a lot of people's worries and angst, I think.)
