The last time we were not involved in either a relegation or title fight.....

2011. Pearson's first season back at the club. And even then that's about the only season since the mid table days of O'Neill (up to 2001) that we've had mid table mediocrity.

 

What a ride.

And yet, still something to be playing for!

 

Any news about likely starting line-up tomorrow?

Think Silva and Diabete will start.

That would be ace…. Looking forward to seeing Diabete getting a full run out…

I guess we were still in the shit until relatively later in the year, plus we had the excitement of the CL. 

It was a case of being perfectly fine but a month/month and a half of being utterly useless got people excited.

 

I didn't think we were ever going down.

I don't know, after Middlesborough NYD I was genuinely concerned.  

It was what followed Middlesboro that was truly awful.  At least we got a point there.  We had the worst record in all four divisions for the first 7 games of 2017 - one point.

 

We were in freefall and in the bottom three.  It looked very bleak indeed and yet when Ranieri got the inevitable boot, the football world went beserk.  

 

Still rankles with me.  I don't remember Chelsea getting the same abuse for sacking Champions League winner Di Matteo or title winner Mourinho after much fewer games.
