This also shows why being 8 points behind a team is very bad, maybe it should be a good lesson to some on here. Yes in the grand scheme of things, 8 points is manageable, it's only 3 games....Now since the time we played United, until now, the distance has always been 5-11 points, 5 points for only a week.
The reason being 8 points behind is very bad is because it requires you to remain consistent to just keep up, and you may make up some points here and there if the team your chasing drops point, which United did on us, but then if you drop points, you immediately get ****ed when the other team starts picking up points again. It's pretty much like going 1-0 down when you're in a big game, you're always at a disadvantage.
