It looks like we're going to have a repeat of the 2005/6 season as we try and desperately cling on to the "wonderful success" that is fourth place - Yipeee!!

At least this time round any feelings of desperation regarding losing the place in the Champions League won't be exacerbated by the chance of us losing out to our near neighbours this time around. As much as it hurts to say but the Villa side on Saturday thoroughly deserved the three points, could have won by more and I'm at a loss to provide rational explanations as to this inconsistency. For all the talk of central midfield or defenders and lack of leadership that prevails in the media and on the blogs (with some justification it would seem) that doesn't identify the reason why the same team can play with such a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde nature.

Does Sami Nasri & co have an aversion to try against teams that are not in the "Big Four" or do we have a big, great f##k off switch that says, "switch here to completely change the attitude from can do to can't be arsed". Because for all the weaknesses that the team has when they put the effort in then 9 out of 10 times they will win and if we put the effort in and lose then no one will mind.

Anyway here's the official photograph of the season, when it will end nobody knows...

Try to keep the faith
