Pat, do you really - I mean REALLY - believe that Milner, Hendo and the rest of them are trying any harder this year than they were last year? And if so, it's because we slipped up against West Ham and Leicester in January..? That THIS year they go out to win EVERY game, versus last year's plan to only win MOST matches? That's rubbish, mate.
We're not 15 wins out of 16 matches to start the season because we lost the league last season... We're just a better team this year than we were last season, so far.
