The difference is that all 4 of ours were in our own hands on the last day. We’ve never gone into the last day needing the other team to drop points, whereas United have done. Losing it when we could have won it would be much worse than losing it when it was in the other team’s hands.Very true - it will be apocalyptic on here!
To add a little context, nine title races in the PL era have gone to the last day of the season. We’ve been involved in four and (as we know) have a 100% success rate. The rags have played the most with five involving three wins plus two unhappy endings. And the ones we all enjoy are the scousers - no victories and three doses of last day heartbreak, all at our expense.
I think we should set up an award for Flapper of the day on the MD Thread infact the competition could be extended into a season long event.Yes and no pal. Down to the individual, at the end of the day, hence we have the flapper v clapper 'culture wars'.
I agree with you, fwiw, and am pretty damn optimistic.
Has any team gone into the last day of the Premier league season in first place and ended up losing it?Very true - it will be apocalyptic on here!

I would not be surprised at all if Arsenal lost one of their remaining three.
They’ve scored-Ferguson’s face-the blonde woman who stops clapping ….great memoriesMmmm
