I think somebody needs to clarify the meaning of "mediocrity". This season has been extremely inconsistent but to describe it as mediocre compared to the last 7 or 8 years is just nonsense IMHO.
If we reach the last 32 of the UEFA cup, and two domestic semi finals for next 3 or 4 years, and that's mediocre, then I'll accept that. I personally think this is where we should be each season, as we've not had it like this for a while.
Small steps and all that.
