if a team is second in the league after 15 games but have not yet played man u, arsenal or chelsea, do they deserve to be there?
No, because they HAVE to still play those teams, Bute doesnt have to fight any of those around him, as agreements get made on a fight by fight basis, also a pretty daft analogy to use as football starts again every summer, boxing doesnt?
No, Come the end of the season they will be ranked where they should be based on their achievments. An A for Effort with the arguement though.
