If there was one team and it's fans with absolutely NO argument against another team and fans this season, it's Spurs and City. We were all looking at the BBC predictor right up till the last game of the season, wondering if we could pip them by goal difference, nick a point here and there, hope they lose a couple, turns out, we had 4th wrapped up with 2 games to go. We're 9 points clear, we have a trophy, we've currently got a very good chance of ousting Arsenal for 3rd place. We've scored more, we've conceded less, we've won more games and we've kept more clean sheets..
I'm really struggling to find a single measurable criteria in which they've shown to be the better team this season. Is there one for 'free flowing football'? Managers sound bites? Hilarious goalkeeping errors?
I just can't possibly see how they can feel out done. Last season we didn't even have the same manager in charge for the whole thing and still took it down to the wire with one game against them. Over the summer and the start of this season all we heard about was how Spurs now have the best squad in the league, could challenge for the title, much better team than us, better spirit, etc. And granted after the opening game of the season it certainly didn't look brilliant for us.
But the results over 38 games I'm afraid just do not lie.
