That's odd.
If the games against Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal had been refereed properly then we'd likely have 9 points more and definitely be challenging this year.
Ok, one year out of 4 we might of challenged.

I also maintain that bad refereeing decisions cost us last year too. Penalty away at Leiceester, Spurs penalty v us at home etc.
But it was Pep's year and we are talking about Pep's relative success or lack thereof.Ok, one year out of 4 we might of challenged.

I don't think them two named incidents meant we finished 4th on goal difference, I agree this year it seems to be bad decision after bad decision and had they of gone for us we would have more points and our rivals less. That hasn't happened in the other years and hasn't stopped us being successful, us being poor has.
Poor teams don't consistently finish in the top 4 and win trophies every other year on average.
That's a different argument and claiming finishing the top 4 as a success. I am not saying we are a poor team, my whole point is we could of challenged each of them years for the title with better management/player additions. We haven't challenged and no one else has, teams are walking leagues with no one pushing them. It's where I don't understand "no team will dominate again" as if we have 5/6 teams all neck and neck for titles.
I got involved when someone made the comment about no team will ever dominate again, I was pointing out teams could dominate as everyone is winning it without a challenge. We haven't dominated because we have bought poorly and not moved forwards.
In terms of Pep he isn't a failure and anyone with a bit of sense knows that.
If I was taller then I'd be taller too.
Simple question. Do you believe there's a better manager than Pep currently managing in world football?
