what a load of rubbish

we drew with Man City and beat Tottenham a few weeks before Hughton was sacked. He had a great record against the top teams for a club of our size.

Of course we also got hammered by them a few times - but that is inevitable for a team like us.

And why not reference Man City away? What did Arsenal or Man Utd have to play for at the end of the season we went down? It was exactly the same situation.
