We’d been top from as early as late September, relinquished top spot to City after our 2-2 draw with Arsenal in late Oct, but it got the lead back the following week and never gave it back.
We’re going to end up having been top at the end of 32 of 38 “match weeks”
I think we lost the title that weekend.
I remember one of the talking heads saying we had thrown it away.
The only way it makes sense to me at the moment is that they’ve bottled it from the perspective that they should have been the natural beneficiaries from a City collapse.
It just reeks of entitlement, which is odd seeing they haven’t won the league in twenty years.
The entitlement that they feel they should be walking the league once City had their fall off. Hasn’t happened.
They’ve spent loads of money and have the delusion that they are the best team in the league.
When the ((self)annointed best team doesn’t win the league, it’s called choking or bottling up. When they choke doesn’t matter.
They weren’t even top of the league for a single game week.
For reference, clubs and weeks on top:
Let alone game weeks they’ve not spent a single day at the top.
Even Man Utd did that, I’ve heard that is currently the DVD.
Been waiting all season to pile into Arsenal (and United). Not quite there yet, I’m sharpening the knife, and hopefully can unload by the end of this week.
Arsenal probably won’t get past PSG. United losing in the EL final against spurs thanks to a highly dubious and incredibly spawny Spurs penalty in the 90+9th minute when only 8 were to be added on, won by a Richarlison dive and scored by Dom Solanke will likely send me into an apoplectic spasm lasting an entire weekend.
Yep United 17th and no CL would be delightful.
Arsenal no trophy whilst Spurs jag one would be more than acceptable.
Fingers crossed.
Arsenal still haven’t secured Champions League football for next season.
Three Premier League games remain

Heard this at the weekend. I think we qualified around week 29 didn’t we
Will they miss qualifying?
Over Arsetita’s dead body. 
Rigor mortis has definitely set into their play. 
Can he play as a centre forward?
Nah too stiff.
Always injured I’ve heard.
He can play as a goalpost. Pretty solid and unyielding.
