A bit of perspective here, for all the bluster about them being sat in second place lets consider three results.
Injury time winners against Arsenal and Palace and our defeat to them last month, we really should have been out of sight by half time and the other two games could easily have been draws.
That is a 7 point swing, that would have them in 4th place just 4 points above Chelsea who would have a game in hand.
Sure, all ifs and maybe's but it shows how thier season cold have easily been much worse.
