Are you seriously, like really, arguing for a 4th place trophy for that season?
I don't even know if you are joking.
Performances are relative to our competitors. If TS wins last two his and AVB's points last year will be equally futile, since others scored even more points than us.
I am pretty sure that is how it works in the other end of the table too. You can still get relegated with 40+ pts, if 18 other cunty teams scored more than that...
