Yes, but not just him, Alvarez missed quite a few also

Take a draw against a poor Brighton side?
Fuck that

Fair dos to Arsenal. They’re making a real fight of it. They seem totally focused and I can see them brushing Spurs aside. Feels like we’re going to have to be perfect right to the end.

The best team always wins the league.
Does anyone think we’ve been the best team at any point this season? Every time we’ve won it previously I’ve always felt we were the top side. This season we couldn’t beat any top team on our own pitch.
If we somehow pulled it off it would be the most outrageous title win we’ve ever had and Pep will have pulled off something remarkable.
The amount of goals we concede is our achiles heel.
Whilst not claiming 3 points in those fixtures apart from Villa away and the second half at Anfield I think we've been the better team in the majority of the games this season. We're just not as strong as we have been previously. Dippers record is equally as poor of those in and around them. Arsenal got a flukey stoppage time goal at the Emirates as they did in the Community Shield and I hope they don't win it for the negative tactics they came to the Etihad with.
Arsenal seem to enjoy playing catchup and not quite being the frontrunner and it's a pity they've had two fixtures before we've had the chance to respond. If there's anybody that can deal with the relentless pressure of being top it is us. They know that too which is priceless. Beat Brighton and they know they need to take 3 points at Spurs.

I reality nothing has changed for us since we beat Luton.
If we win our games we win the title and achieve immortality.
I won't be surprised if there's one more twist for each of the teams.
We now have no distractions and after forest are playing teams that could be heading for or already on the beach.
Do what we do best,take one game at a time and remain calm.

Arsenal are the best team in this league.
And yet, if we could I'd rather face them away than Liverpool away or even Spurs away in our penultimate game to hypothetically seal the title.
In fairness, we'd have 'pissed the league' by now as we are, had two or three moments of luck gone our way instead of against us.Hindsight. We’ll never know what really went on behind the scenes. But if Gundo and Mahrez would have stayed, we’d have pissed the league by now. All ifs and buts I know. Such a pity Paqueta got caught up in the betting scandal. He would and will still be a great signing. Unfortunately it looks like it’s Bernardo’s last season. As you say, hopefully Kev will stay for at least another season?
People forget how good we have actually been this season when swooning over Arsenal. A wee period of erratic games we absolutely dominated but didn't come away with all 3 points left us chasing instead of running away with it. But the truth is, I can't think of any more than 3 games we actually played bad in.

As above, I do!
Did before it was in our hands, been pretty consistent with saying the above.

Yeah the Liverpool spurs and Chelsea at home are the games we deserved to win we dropped 6 points in those games!

True.
But Palace at home was the real killer game. 2-0 up. 20 minutes to go. Fucking about with the ball, sideways, backwards, sideways, playing the game out, instead of killing the game off making it 3-0, then we got caught out twice, the last one right at the end of the game. Absolutely criminal how we tossed those 2 additional points away.
