Such as? In terms of expectations, I doubt many Cas fans would have put '1' against Cas's name when predicting the league position. Nor would they have thought Cas would be going to Wembley. Cas have had a great season. Saints started on fire but ultimately have collapsed embarassingly whenever it has mattered.
It just seems to be a common occurrence, and I don't even think people mean to do it. You're being honest and you are complimenting us, but it's done in a way that shows how (some) success almost blinds the fans. You say you've been "utterly shocking", implying that even if we win tomorrow we've only beaten your sub-standard team to the slot. If we did win/lose, you'd be second/first in the bloody league - regardless of whether you think you've played good or not, that's an achievement many clubs would love to have. The constant naming of the LLS as "worthless" or regarding it as a "hub cap" just demonstrates how jaded a lot of clubs are and I think it's why we're often supported by other fans - the underdog is good to watch because you know it really means something.
