There's something quite fascinating arising out of Hubble's reminder of our last finish as top London club. I went to check on the size of the points gap between us and others but got sidetracked by the number of Clubs in the top flight then that have fallen from grace. (Not including Villa and Norwich who IMO are going down this year) the list of teams that finished below us that season included:
Blackburn, Wednesday, Wimbledon, Sheff U, Coventry, Ipswich, Leeds, Oldham, Middlesboro and Forest.
Now, ask yourself this, how many of those teams are in the EPL now, and how many times since they were relegated from it have they spent even a single year in it? The answer to both of course is a big fat zero.
I'm not suggesting that it makes us lucky to have had two brief returns since relegation but perhaps it puts some perspective on our relative success compared to these even less fortunate souls?#standuptocancer
