But also at times, I notice this through friends and family or social media, whenever it can lose a game, a lot of focus goes on the manager, as it does with most clubs.
And David Moyes gets a little bit of criticism.
But how David Moyes has got that squad of players in ninth position, I will never know.
I mean, they've been on Monday Night Football six times this year.
I'm very, really impressed.
They do OK.
They get the job done.

This is a team and a club who have been fighting relegation the last few years.
I know it's disappointing because they've been so close to making the next step to European places and that frustrates the supporters, but please don't be pointing the finger at David Moyes.
As I said, that squad is not the ninth best squad of players in the Premier League.

It almost seems like that's the real ethos of Ajax.
Listen, Manchester United have got an unbelievable history, but people talk about this team and over the next couple of years when you get to another couple of Champions League finals almost being the greatest team in Manchester United's history.
