I hear that often from West Ham fans...’only a few years ago we finished above Tottenham, now look at the difference’
Doesn’t quite paint the true story though. We had a poor league campaign and won a trophy that year as well as played European football. Plus one off seasons are just that usually. I mean, Leicester finished above everyone didn’t they!
We were mismanaged and underachieved for twenty odd years, which led to the likes of West Ham thinking they were on par with us. In reality they never have been, and now we’ve returned to our ‘normal’ standing, well, it’s only making their fans even more irate about the whole situation they find themselves in!
The last paragraph is right on the money.
