Because the play-offs were brought in to give the mid-table teams, i.e those who were in 4th to maybe 10th position, something to play for. It therefore follows that that if 5th place in Division 2 is considered mid-table in their league, then 5th place in Division 1 is also mid table. It's pretty simple logic, to be fair.

Not when coming 5/6/7 wins you European football it's not.

You're talking out of your backside. 5th place has never and will never be consider midtable.
 

Shocking start to the season. Still got too many deadwood squad players. Wish Martinez had balls to flush them out this summer.

However we have also been quite unlucky, today being a real example of that rub of the green.

Please bobby turn it round…

I'm afraid it is you who is talking out of their backside, as it really, really has been, and I bet you any money that you will continue to hear it being described as such in the future.

Exactly this.

Too much ass kissing to people he who he thinks he ought to praise as 'great Evertonians' but really should be seeing them off the premises.

He's a very good manager, but he needs boldness in the coming two transfer windows. Moyes era players like Jagileka, Distin, Osman, Hibbert, Pienaar cant be allowed to be involved.

I've never, EVER, heard 5th or 6/7th described as midtable in my 30 years of following football. The same 30 odd years that never even had a play off for you "traditionalists" who believe its midtable.

It's not top tier either so what do we call the teams between mid-table and top tier?

Quit arguing about what is, and isn't mid-table. The thread's quite specific and though you're not the only ones derailing it, if you stop going on about it then the mid-table question will die a death.

If you want to have some sort of discussion about whether 5th is mid-table or not, then create a thread for it, and add a poll to it for good measure.
