Because we didn't maintain that level of performance throughout the season. What I am saying is that this is a completely new set up and the previous season has no relevance to how this one will pan out particularly when we have a very different squad.
It was also 36 points in 2010/11 and 31 the 1st 6 months last season but I take your point

For the points tally though, I went on the Barclays Premier League site and noted the points tally after 19 and 38 games. Don't understand the difference between your resuld and mine. But the argument holds. Regarding new squads, I would suppose the manager changes for improvement (unless he has to sell to finance losses which was not our case last summer). Sunday is going to be his 11th official game, granted Allen missed a couple at the beginning, but, it's about time we get off the bottom 4 to mid-table at least in the next couple of games.

because its a completely new set up. The team that played last year to this year has 5 changes - Kelly, Lucas/Shelvey, Allen, Borini and Sterling. That is why looking at last year is ridiculous
The 6 months to finish the 2010/11 season had us in the top 2 of the league but that didn't matter one bit the next season What do you mean it didn't matter one bit the next season? Let me get your facts right. In the 2nd half of 2010/11 our points tally was 33, 1st half of last season it was 34 (pretty close), however, in the 2nd half it was 18. My opinion is that this happened because our arguably best player (Suarez) was banned for the first 8 games, we had to play Jay Spearing as our defensive midfielders were out injured, Stevie was not very fit and we were competing in both Cups. We did not have the depth to be competitive in both Cup competitions and the league and as soon as we lost the Arsenal game at home (we more than dominated that particular game if you watched), it became clear that we would not qualify for champions league. The focus changed to the cups. I don't think we had/have a bad team as some feel, in that 2nd half of the season we did beat both Manchester Teams in the Cup and Chelsea (agree that Chealsea played a weaker team as they were concentrating on champions league) in the league. Suarez was only missing four League games and the two victories you mention against both Manchester Clubs where both without Suarez, this proves him missing had no bearing on how poor we were last season.

Another day another argument with Ged. or we could just tow the party line and follow like sheep like you seem to do, that means no forum topics to talk about, debate or discuss because everyone agrees, at least I pick topics which can be discussed, disagreed with and debated, you tipped us to finish top four which shows the speed your knowldege is up to...

I take your point and agree with you about differing opinions. For the record I did say we had a chance (not the same as thinking we would) of 4th place this season. However that was conditional on us getting the strikers we needed. We failed on that. So I stand by my views of fourth place which I think were reasonable.

So I stand by my views of fourth place which I think were reasonable. fourth place was never ever on, striker or no striker, we recently played the fourth best team in the League Arsenal and we were light years behind, they gave us a total footballing lesson so if you think having a quality striker on the pitch would of made a difference you are diluded my friend, the outcombe would of been exactly the same.
