Re: I’m so sick of Kompany

As I posted on the match thread 6 points and 15 goals behind a team we finished about 20 points better last season is not really acceptable. It looks like we will finish bottom which is embarrasing.

What's galling is we're 6 points behind Luton and 15 goals worse. We were what . . 20.points better last season? That's fairly unforgiveable. Moneyball hasn't worked out.
