Sorry for the late reply mate, didn’t quite see this beforehand.
Anyway, as I’ve mentioned previously, we were known as 4-0 FC at the start, and followed that up with multiple goal wins over Arsenal, Chelsea, Pool and City, the 3rd best team in PL history behind our 99 and 08 teams. We hammered Newcastle, Stoke etc too. No big achievement but still big wins.
By death by boredom football against promoted teams, I guess you mean Huddersfield away. It was shit, but it was just a poor performance that every team gets. We did also lose to Newcastle, but we created tonnes of chances that day and Alexis and Martial both missed open goals. Again, Sevilla was where Mourinho really lost the plot. Before that, I enjoyed the season. IIRC, there was a point where we would be top in any other season bar that as City were breaking records.
