That’s 1 criteria Pete, surely you don’t think that’s how we should only judge the season?I care much more about us winning the league than anything, but when people talk shoit on here, my wick gets tickled.
I've explained it a few times, some know what I'm on about, some just dont get it. Overall the "challengers" in 2nd and 3rd place are on a similar points tally to normal 2nd and 3rd place challengers after 25 games. Its just that the number 1 has been unbelievable by getting 73 points which is unprecedented. I cant phrase it any simpler than that.
I’ll propose another angle as to why I believe it is poorer (excluding LPool) than previous years.
Everton(let’s be honest) currently and for the past 5 years a mid table team, I would worry about playing the big 6 home and away and hoping to get the odd win or point here and there, this season, genuinely, apart from yourselves I believe we can get a result against any of the other 5 regardless of home or away, that’s not because we’ve improved it’s because they’ve dropped a peg or 2 and are inconsistent.
Look at the teams the others in the top 6 have dropped points against, it’s hit and miss.
Now I accept you may say that them dropping points against lesser teams is a sign the lesser teams are closing the gap, but I don’t believe it is.
I can only say we may not be able to judge the other 19 teams in the PL until next season and if we see if the other big 5 up their game and the sad “status quo” is returned
None of what I’ve put is intended to detract from what yous have and are achieving.
