As you say though, it's a season of disappointment, then (as this thread shows) the attitude is 'we go again', put it behind us and try and get back. Also, to reference your first post, I don't think many fans of Leeds, Southampton, Norwich, West Brom etc think "I hope we don't get promoted...
No. And when we do eventually get relegated (as we will at some stage, although hopefully not next season). I'll be hoping we can get back to the PL as soon as possible.
