consistency was never our strong point

1986/87 - 5th
1987/88 - 14th [23 pts worse]
1988/89 - 4th
1989/90 - 10th [9 pts worse]
1990/91 - 15th [8 pts worse]
1991/92 - 18th [same points]
1992/93 - 3rd [27 pts better]

We have only ever once improved our league position year-on-year in the top flight.
