Best Runners Up in “Championship” history based on points total?

Spoke to a Luton fan who was saying how in spite of them being up and around the play-offs for two seasons people still say they won't last and that it's a poor division if Luton are up there. Basically, people just don't think a team like Luton could be any good and won't put bias aside. Same way it doesn't matter how much good football we play, everyone still calls us a bunch of cloggers.

Vincent Kompany wins 28 games and they're one of the best of all time. Heckingbottom wins 27 and it must be a shit division.

Yeah that’s it pretty much, lazy opinions. Everyone when watching a game of football involving their team focuses on what their team is doing right/wrong rather than how good or bad the opposition are.

That’s why we end up with so many ungracious comments in ‘the view from’……”we had an off day”, “Blades didn’t need to do much to beat us”
etc. In their minds Warnock is still our manager and we are playing hoofball which should be easily dealt with.

The irony is if the top 5/6 were miles ahead of the rest points wise people would be saying how strong the division is rather than it being uncompetitive.

Very odd league this season for me. I don't feel 10 points better than the rest of it (bar Burnley). Watford for instance have failed miserably, but I would take half their side given the chance and we're approaching 30 points better than them.

Maybe I'm underestimating the talent in our squad.

I reckon you're underestimating our management team.

Not to be a negative ninny here, but we will get deducted points for fielding unregistered pigeons.

All the pigeons on the pitch are fully registered as groundskeepers.

I'm sure everyone wants to watch Southampton beat SWFC by 9-0 on any given Sunday.

Pitsmoor pig really is as thick as pig shit.

We’re the fourth best runners up finishing on 91 points. WBA had 91 and a better goal difference in 2009-2010
