    We currently sit in SEVENTH position in the EPL.

    There are THIR**** teams below us and only SIX in front.

    Where the fcuk does that place us other than in the top half of the division?

    We have not finished there yet and certainly not an established PL club- we must not get ahead of ourselves- or we end up like a deadwood fan who says he still thinks of them as a PL club

    and separated by 4 points to 10th position - and only 10 points from 18th place relegation.

    No one gives a phuck about anyone else- until we have remained in the PL for a number of seasons- we are not yet an established PL club and so no talk of breaking into the top 6 is required at this stage.

    Apart from the top 6 who are virtually immune from relegation, there is no such thing as an established PL club, Everton would no doubt claim they are, but even they had to bring in Fireman Sam to rescue them this season.

    I can remember last season some fans saying we should aim to establish ourselves in mid table in this division, and the two clubs given as examples we should be trying to emulate, the epitomy of established PL clubs were Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion, who are currently 19th and 20th in this season's league table.
