As others have said, we have been so consistently underestimated that it feels like a real slap in the face for our efforts over the last few years.
The only thing I would say in slight defence of these pundits is that none of them are aware (yet!) of what I think will be a major factor for us this year - the surprise package that will be Ian Nacho!
Mate, they're fully aware of everything we have to offer.
That's the whole point. They KNOW we are at least second favourites for the title.
Yet they publish drivel purely to push their agenda.
And you know what? It works. Big time.
I've spent the last couple of weeks, more than any other season, stupidly trying to justify what we have achieved in the last five years.
And I find myself actually arguing against the back page of the mirror or the sun before I cop on.
It works, that's why they do it.
