If we look more organised that's a big step forward because we were all over the place last season.

Agree with most of the article, but we have to get over this thing about fluke wins last season.  Even if they were fluke wins you still shouldn't be grumbling especially when they came against much better teams than us.   In the case of the City game it seems like we showed some good fighting spirit.

When I said fluke I didn't mean undeserved, because they were very much deserved. What I meant was that to win those three big games last season we had to catch the opposition on an off-day because they're so much better than us. I thought we beat Stoke because we're better than them.

That is fair enough, but I was also responding to a general comment which has been by many on this site.
