Amusingly, on praise and grumble the other night one of them, looking for a reaction perhaps, commented that while we have been exceptionally good recently, they have only been average and because they are only 5 points behind shows how much better than us they are. Maybe he thinks that teams who are really good get bonus points when they win instead of only three?
