In that one season yes, we were much better than them. But what chance do Barnsley have against Sunderland, etc. You've also had to go back to 2011 to find an example of a huge imbalance.
Don't try and pretend the premier league is every bit as competitive as the lower leagues, or that the corrupt FFP rules don't restrict clubs from ever attempting to consistently break into the top 6.
