Easy, dude. How quickly we forget. Letting 'expectations' ruin your enjoyment of football is about the dumbest most immature thing you can do
After the last two seasons, anyone judging the club based on expectations could only be happy with clearly winning the league. It's the issue with coming second. We have to remember that when the margins are so fine, it does not take much to feel like we've fallen far even if it's not true or there are legitimate reasons. We have had the misfortune of suffering injuries to some of our most important players this year and to assume we can get away with that is just naive.
I mean, fair. It's just also annoying cuz we've definitely sacrificed a bit of the entertainment factor for results — so when those results aren't coming... just gets annoying.
