I've been away for a couple of weeks (don't say you didn't notice) and I haven't read back much - but I have seen a few references to "stumbling over the finishing line".
I don't get it.
You're running a marathon, you're a mile from the finish, all but two of your rivals have fallen by the wayside and those two are 5 miles behind and at walking pace - why would you go for that last sprint when you can win easily just by keeping steady?
The early pace has won the race.
As much as anyone I want football to be entertaining, but I recognise that under the circumstances, after a long arduous season, the run-in may be a little less exciting than I'd hoped for. There might be a few celebratory games before the end, but I'm expecting most to be just enough to get us there.
