Aye, as someone mentioned on here, those seasons where City artificially inflated the points total to win the title have psychologically affected us all. Those draws we've got were considered bad but now it's looking like they are good results.
The League it appears is pivoting back to the norm, it's more competitive, there are no easy games with perhaps the exception of the bottom 3. All the teams above the relegation zone currently, Mancs, Everton, West Ham and Wolves have taken points off both us and Arsenal this season.
