Some serious overreaction on here, we ended up with a draw thanks to an off side goal against us. No damage done fortunately.

Hey, we've been shipping chances to the opposition for weeks now, and we've got away with it due to poor finishing. Yesterday was due to come at some time, and we're just lucky we didn't lose any ground on Chelsea.

Oh, and it's Karen's fault, as she called it before kick off!

Really? Because that goal only made it 2-1.

You don't know that yet. If we lose title by 1-2 points, then it is serious damage done in this match.

My main problem with yesterday is that we threw it away from a winning position.
Had we failed to score it would have been frustrating but Burnley got players back quickly so it would be understood. But that wasn't the case; we went two up and then just stopped. Nasri forced a decent save after the break but the only other shot on target wouldn't have beaten a Conference keeper.
Burnley played well; they ran around a lot and used their strength, but would you really have a single Burnley player in our squad?
The Chels will drop points in the second half of the season, but I can't see them dropping them against a bottom-three team, nor can I see them dropping points from two-nil up.
Five of our remaining away fixtures are against teams in the top half and include Chelsea where we've not won often (that 4-2 the other year was excellent) and Klanfield where we've not won for over twelve years. And the swamp of course but we've won the last three there.
A win at Stamford Bridge would set alarm bells ringing in Maureen's tiny brain, but I think his team has the muscle to cause us problems.
I still think we have the most skilful players in the division but it's not always enough.
We were lucky with injuries when we won the league in 2012, but struggled last season yet still won it. I doubt Chelsea could play as well without Costa as we have without Sergio but that's irrelevant if Costa stays fit. Mancini's biggest fuck up wasn't upsetting the players it was sacking the medical team.
And injuries to strikers was always a potential problem this season as Sergio and Jovetic were out for much of last season. Negredo might have wanted out but failing to sign even low-level cover was a huge mistake.
We may have won most of the games without Sergio but the remaining players have all had to work extremely hard to do it and they are beginning to look knackered.
Sunderland are up next and while we've dropped points against them at home a couple of times I think our record over ten or twelve years in something like fifteen wins and four defeats in twenty-five games. We murdered them at their place a few weeks ago and should be able to repeat the win (if not the margin) on Thursday.

While we were lucky that other teams also drew, we absolutely cannot afford any more points lost now at home. I'm happy that our away form seems better though, now we need to crush teams like everton and arsenal.

one less chance to catch the rent boys now though,when DOES it turn from no damage done to a harmful result?

I'm as gutted as the next blue that we couldn't see the game out yesterday but if we lose the title, then we have to say well done to whoever won it as, over 38 games they played the better, more consistent football.

Cannot just single out one game as being the reason. As others have said. still many games to play and there will be other unexpected points dropped by all teams.

The prem is the best league in the world and I would hate it become a two or three team division with cannon fodder making the numbers up.

We take the highs and lows with our club and we should all look fwd to NYD.

Having had a good nights sleep and time to think about the game especially the way we capitulated in the second half, I would just like to add..

Well Done Kieran and Ben, for proving me right against all the Shills on here spouting the old rhetoric They ain't premier leagueClass Players..

And what a bargain price they were..
