I wonder if the sports finance rules are making a difference? The middle clubs seem to be catching up with the traditional Champions League sides which makes the gap between sides like us even bigger.

Or could just be us that are shit and making it look worse.

PSR/FFP. Ipswich haven’t had that issue yet having come up two divisions and hence more headroom than Saints or Leicester had to invest last summer. Made some good signings - Delap especially - but some that haven’t worked in midfield and central defence which isn’t surprising over so many transactions. Hopefully Saints can finally sign some of the spine this time that might make the transition in future as well as some players purely to go up. Hoping Charles and Edwards mature into two players who can make it.

We haven't been in many winning positions have we? Leicester, Ipswich at home and Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool away come to mind. Any others?

I will always maintain that being a goal or two ahead in a game is in no way a “winning position”.

Why do we have to suffer these Americanisms in our beautiful game?

If you are leading in a match, you are in a 'winning position', surely?
The game isnt won by all means, but you've been in a winning position and then lost that lead.

Not even if a team is 2 up with 1 minute to go?

There are obviously different degrees of winningness.

As long as we don't beat Derby's record it can't get any worse than it already is - unless if we somehow bank another 0-9.
