At this stage five years ago, we were rooted to the bottom of the league and feeling that our spell at the top level was going to be very brief. We had ten points and little to be optimistic about.
What an incredible five years we've had, especially considering we've employed two absolute duffers as manager in that time. Now staying in the league is done by December and we're not happy unless we're competing at the top end of the league.
One warning sign though. Whilst we were bottom, a certain team called Southampton were flying high in the league having made a very similar start to the season that we have this year. At that point, they had a team full of talent - Alderweireld, Mane, etc. They couldn't keep hold of them and look at them now.
