Yeah but that assumes better goal difference & 100% win so 'and' is appropriate me thinks.Regular Joe said:Hoghead said:Only if Maureen OR Pulis OR Pardew can be arsed winning against pool.
Corrected for you. Ok, that last one's a bit of a stretch, i'll grant you.

Second year in a row we have not challenged to the end and lost the will to fight for the title... All this fight to the end talk only works if the players actually show a bit of fight and courage on the field...
Also what people fail to remember from the title-winning season was before the Rags pulled ahead we were in control of that title and as soon as the pressure was on in the run-in we bottled it. It was only when the pressure was off and we started winning again did we regain control of our destiny. Even then we nearly f**ked up against QPR. For all three seasons we had the best players/squad/team and should have won the title in all of them convincingly, something is missing and I am not quite sure what it is. Maybe it is some king of collective steely determination, maybe there is an undermining complacency, maybe we have come too far too quickly. Whatever it is big money stellar signings won't solve it.
Funny I thought it was decided after all 38 games had been played, or when you can no longer catch the team top.

LOL, so Mancini Bottled it twice, but was out bottled by united, who'd have thought it ? (sorry fellow mods, please spare me, tis only a joke)Chippy_boy said:Clever words, but he's right. We were top for most of 2011/12 and bottled it when it got down to the short strokes. We got a reprieve when the rags decided to out-bottle us by losing to Wigan. Had they not done so, we would have chucked it having led for about 30 weeks.
