Gutted. Proud.
Then almost certainly not.
Or, if Liverpool had won one more game. End of the season and we get done by Villa starting their holidays 15 mins early.
As soon as I saw his face, I knew.
So here is hoping Fab is back, and we have a midfield of Fab, Henderson and Naby.
Rather eat my own shit than watch this cringe lot lift the Prem whereâs that off button.
Gutted. Would have preferred Villa were twatted 5-0 in the first half than feel like this. Iâm also disappointed Wolves didnât roll over for us because surely everyone wanted us to win the league right Pep you cheating, doping cunt?
Well done to the team. We did what we could. We lost the league when we dropped 2 points in our draw with Brighton. Holding on to leads is our area for improvement next season as well as being flat track bullies against the other 17 teams.
Letâs now go get the treble! YNWA!
I didnât realise that was the choice! Thankfully I had the pool final recording.
Just imagine if Jota penalty had been given against Spurs or the City penalty against Wolves hadnât been.
Villa gave us hope but shitty snatched it away in 5 minutes, I canât prove envelopes exchanged hands but I know it happened.
It would have been enough to win the title in 24 of the 30 Premier League seasons. 25 if you consider that our title-winning side in 2019/20 could have won it with âonlyâ 92 points as well.
To think 11 years ago I cheered these lot scoring a last min goal to deny Utd winning the leagueâŚmakes me sick, fucking wish Utd had won that year now.
Thats just plain stupid not good enough.
Yeah I donât like to look back on where the title was lost but that Brighton game will haunt me.
We lost the league because one club (and soon another one) is allowed to cheat. Pure and simple. We canât ask for perfection, we canât lament a couple of draws or the two losses. 92 points won. No other club would come close to that under normal circumstances.
Fuck.off.
That Jota decision was one of the worst decisions Iâve seen in a long time.
The rationale was that Jota was too far away from the ball so it wasnât a foul. By that logic, if the keeper cleared the ball, walked up to an opposing player in the box and struck him in the face, thatâs not a foul and a penalty shouldnât be given. I donât recall anywhere in the laws of the game saying the position of the ball in play affected whether or not a foul should be called.
I used to think English officials were the best in Europe. But that certainly isnât the case anymore.
So at least five definitive reasons we didnât win the league.
Draw with Brighton
Not beating City
Tottenham referee
Everton penalty
Villa meltdown
The truth is itâs all of them and none of them. Thatâs the game of football. You might as well say âwhat if we lost an extra 30 games and had got relegated?â because it has as much relevance on the outcome of the season as what if one of the above things had been different.
Year after year of âprotectionismâ in football was always going to lead to this. The odds get more and more stacked in favour of the big (or monied) clubs. Just luckyLFC rejoined that group.
Not really. We didnât win the title. Too many draws despite City being fortunate. Brighton, Brentford, Leicester, Chelsea take your pick. We only needed 2 more points maximum.
