A very, very strange season. If i'm being totally honest, we've never looked that good (save for a brief period mid December when we smashed everton and bournemouth). At the start of the season I noted that we were getting tight results without playing that well, and that just kind of continued the entire season. Our record against the big six is W2, D1, L7, yet we're third and could wrap up champions league qualification today.
I guess the irony is that we usually get accused of playing great football, but not having the grit to grind out results when it matters. This season it's been the complete inverse. We've done nothing but grind out tight results, in both the league and Europe.
