And you have to admit, finishing 3rd despite getting humped

7-1 at Blackburn, 5-1 at Tottenham, 4-1 at Liverpool, 3-0 at Southampton and 3-0 at Wimbledon was kinda cool. As was our negative (-4) goal difference: the only time in a hundred years a team had finished in the top 3 despite having one! It's like the year defending Champions Manchester City got relegated despite scoring more goals than anyone else: it just fitted us perfectly, basically.
