"Struggles" = 2nd and well in the title race looking nailed on for top 4. How far we've come.
If we're struggling then what are Liverpool and Chelsea doing?

The Sun's match preview in today's paper...note the narrative in the colour before Bristol's owner shits on them...
Intro: Bristol City's meeting with Manchester City tonight is a clash between solid British values and gushing dreams built on oil.
It is a confrontation between a local man who fronts his local club and an Arabic owner rarely seen.
The Robins' self-made billionaire owner Steve Lansdown CBE has spent 26 years building his club into one that is fit to join the Premier League.
Sheikh Mansour has spent close to £2bn in 14 years building the blue side of Manchester into a superpower that he rarely watches.
His riches have resulted in five Premier League titles (can't even get that right)
City have been referred to an independent commission, having allegedly broken 115 financial rules and regulations.
But that will not stop Lansdown welcoming the tainted giants back to his home...
Lansdown: "Ever since we last played City in the semi finals of the EFL Cup, I have a high regard for them because they treated us so well when we went up there.
"They were top class people and a top class club, so for all this to come out about rules and regulations was quite a shock.
"I look at them and I think I've never heard City not pay their wages or their bills, so I don't think anyone can be critical of them for bringing money in to the game and being a stable club.
"Then you get in to the rules and regulations and you have to ask, 'Have they broken them?'.
"Well, I think there are 115 alleged breaches and that's an awful lot to suddenly dump on somebody in one go and I don't really see the logic of it.
"That's why I am in the camp of 'I'll wait and see' because I don't want to cast any judgment at this stage."

That's a shock an owner of another club actually pushing back at the gutter press and all their silly clichés.

We are the first team to hold second place in the league and be struggling! Mind, I did think that we struggled to the battering we gave Bournemouth. And didn't the women make an eight course meal of their game down at Bristol?
MANUre still command untold column inches about some trophy they have won at long last. But the article that catches the attention is some guy called Nigel Pearson getting a full page in the sports section. The out of focus Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background gives the reader a clue as to why!
This is a story from 2014 which the Mail is recycling in order to have yet another dig at the BBC; why else do you think they focus so intently on the BBC connections when hundreds of celebrities used these dodgy scheme. I have no sympathy for Logan or anyone else who did this, but the Mail's agenda is so transparent.
Must be some kind of record for how many dog whistles you can squeeze into 250 words.
