Games that would have given us the title

Everton at home....1:0 10mins to go, concede a sloppy goal by allowing barkley a free run in midfield. 2pts dropped

Swansea at home...2:1 game over, slack defending, game drawn..2pts dropped


WBA away.....draw....enough said....baggies were there for the taking..2pts dropped


manc_city home...came back from a goal down...podolski was nailed on to score but the ball deflected off joe harts bum...2pts dropped (unluckily)


Stoke away...losing to those thundercants is worse than hernia repair with no anesthetic....should not be losing to stoke especiallly when their goal is a gift from some cheat of a ref3pts dropped

Total 11pts....puts us on 87pts with Norwich left.

Close but on cigar....travesty

Indeed.

Truth is Chelsea and City were always title favourites. The next few positions were going to be in any order arsenal, utd, Liverpool and spurs. Liverpool have overachieved. If they hadn't then everyone would have said we've done well.

pints wise we've done what was expected of us. Results wise we should have done better especially against the bigger sides but if it weren't for Liverpool overachieving then our season would have been fine

Every team can agonize over certain losses - including the teams above us. The fact remains the current top 3 over the course of the season have been comfortably better than us. We were never good enough to win the league after our summer business left us short in key areas.

we were top for pratically 2/3rds of the season so I disagree that the other where much better than us. even taking into account the hammerings we took away from home. our tactics in each of those games was completely wrong and the players failed to stand up and be counted.

this is why we need to sign more leaders and not more kids with potential

It doesn't really matter how long we were top for. For one, most neutrals KNEW that when we play the tough fixtures, we'll drop points. We found those claims annoying but they prove factual and I think most knew in their heart-of-hearts we were in a false position waiting for the inevitable crash.

We lost the title after the shambles of a January transfer window.

What a load of rubbish. One position. Which wouldnt have mattered if Theo hadnt missed the entire season. He would have provided the extra fire power to put us level in ability with the teams above us

Boy you lot are clueless!!! Man United away is the one match that broke our momentum and led to our steady decline this season.

Villa and United at home should be added. Really should have won those games.
