How very bizarre. Do you think The Godfather III is better than the previous 2?
The comparison is so pointless it defies belief we're talking about it. Saunders wasn't good enough. Jackett isn't good enough. End of.
You can make an argument that we were unlucky to go down under Saunders considering our points total and that it was a really high total to go down with.
I still wouldn't compare Jackett's tenure to the loon that was Deano though.
Points are relative to that year though. Our points total this year is good enough for us to finish mid table. To argue that we are very very lucky to be in the division in nonsensical. The table doesn't lie.
This season I would. Game for game in incredibly deano was better I believe. Sad, horrible fucked up truth
9 flukey points at Xmas saved us. Add to that a flukey hone win against Charlton and Dave Edwards handball winner against Blackburn and IMHO we are fucking lucky to be mid table. We barely deserve it.
Not really, Saunders averaged exactly one point per game. How many points do we have this season? Clue: it's more than 45.
Taking a random 20 game snapshot is worthless especially as we've had nothing to play for this year. Worth remembering that when we actually needed points at the back end of 2012/13, we lost four of our last five games. But of course Saunders was better.
quite galling that Burnley has been promoted after losing 3 of their top players, and still having some of our 'castoffs' !!
