Remind me, what did the arse call us when we lost out to Leicester for the title although we never led the chase ????
Brighton move above us and there they will stay. They've got enough in them to get results against Soton and Villa. There is every chance we will finish below Brentford, our next opponents.
Funnily enough, my plastic Goon sister was in Brighton yesterday One text an I get spared a lot of family get-togethers...
The upward trajectory comparisons with Pochettino are somewhat premature. In his first 3 seasons, Pocjhettino had Spurs in the PL title race twice, and qualified for the CL twice. In 3.5 years, Arteta has had them lot in the PL title race once, and qualified for the CL once. On a similar vein, we should expect to see them lot reach the CL final next season or the season after.
Can someone explain to me why the order of your results in a season matters at all. The title is awarded over 38 matches when you would need about 30 times that many to remove the effect of luck so worrying about which order the points came in is just weird.
Psychology (especially at the business end of the season) . Specifically, the impact on squad morale.
To retain the PL title, Citeh need either of : 1. One win 2. A draw, if them lot do not win their next game. Regarding #1, their next opponent is Kings Rd FC.
Brighton rightly move above us into 6th. Villa will have a strong say (as they have already) in where Spurs will finish, 7th or 8th.
If Arsenal lose next Saturday, Man City will win the title regardless of their remaining two games. So Man City could win the title next Saturday without kicking a ball.
