I'm more than grateful to our wonderful owners.

2 seasons in a row finishing above the arse.And some doubt mancini.

well done to wigan too,one more win should do em.

And it's not over yet.

Agreed. I'm just hoping Moyes' ambition to finish above Liverpool will usurp his hatred for us.

Na, he'll roll over to his OB1 on the premise he's in the running to succeed him, he won't upset the great 1!

That's a bit of a circular argument, jim ;-)

Great news, lets hope we finish higher yet.

How many times have we finished runner up ? Just curious (and I'm at work so I can't easily look it up).

Three I think.

03-04, 20-21 and 76-77

Were we not joint runners up last season?

Thanks to Wigan we are guaranteed 2nd or higher! One hell of an achievement if you ask me!

The last time we finished runners up (76-77) our shirts the following season were embroidered with "First Division Runners Up" on.

If we do finish 2nd, I can't see that happening next season!

Goes to show how times have changed. In those days finishing 2nd was an achievement, now it's classed as failure by some.
