Tonight was pretty shambolic and we made a total arse of a game we should have put to bed. The seeming lack of desire was a bit disconcerting but we rae in the same situation as 2 years ago; we aim to win the last 5 and hope for a couple of slips from the league leaders.
Don't be under any false pretences; we had to hope for snookers 2 years ago when we won the title after drawing to Stoke, losing to Arsenal and - wait for it - drawing 3-3 with SUNDERLAND with a late equaliser from us.
it's all happening again.....
You're a fuckin prophet mate! What a difference a month makes eh?

What we don't remember is any club/managerial statement that City's strategy to win the title would be to lull other teams into a fall sense of security at the top by letting them establish a lead of more than a point a game, before pegging it back in 4 matches, then apparently mucking up the title again before winning it heroically with a goal from the last kick of the last match of the season. It doesn't always work.
Worked a treat.....again, and well in shemnel.

Indeed. I got it badly wrong, and I humbly beseech the powers that be on here to accept my grovelling apology. And thanks for reminding me of the error of my ways; very, er, kind of you.SWP's back said:Ooopsjimharri said:No it isn't. And anyway; two years back, we were only battling with one team.
