Everyone is talking like the NLD was decisive but in truth we lost THREE winnable games in the run top to it. That's where Arteta really ****ed up. The NLD shouldn't have mattered we should have been 6-9pts clear at that stage.
Your last 16 games were : W11 L5. A good return (if replicated over the season would have got you 78 pts) . However, for that same period Spurs did W11 D2 L3. The difference in pts being the difference at the end. Whatever the coulda/shoulda/woulda claims are about specific games (and all supporters can do that) , those two games away in succession against Spurs and the Toon are where the questions on mental resolve were ultimately asked (and answered) .
It's just a perspective thing. As a Spurs fan you want to believe that the NLD was where Arsenal missed out on Top 4 but in truth we had a run of winnable games which we completely screwed up on.
No, I believe that the Toon game is where you lost it. And everything else is just coulda/shoulda/woulda (as I explained) .
