number one, it doesnt matter that we are not in the CL in terms of challegening for the title
I also have never once this season claimed we are good enough to win the title
Pool are simply too good (and I removed the 2 1 loss as a dropped point gainst them)
I also have NEVER (since I joined this board, and before that) claimed we are a 100 point side, only ONE EPL team ever (Citeh, 2017-18) tallied 100 points
only 5 have earned 95 or more (and 4 of the 5 happened in a 3 season span 2017-2020)
very few teams even have talled 90 (14 ever)
EPL teams with the most points in a single season:
100 points Manchester City, 2017-18
99 points Liverpool, 2019-20
98 points Manchester City, 2018-19
97 points Liverpool, 2018-19
95 points Chelsea, 2004-05
93 points Manchester City, 2021-22
93 points Chelsea, 2016-17
92 points Liverpool, 2021-22
92 points Manchester United, 1993-94
91 points Manchester City, 2023-24
91 points Chelsea, 2005-06
91 points Manchester United, 1999-2000
90 points Manchester United, 2008-09
90 points Arsenal, 2003-04
I do not care how you spin it, those draws were massive fails, we should have won them all, watching the games, plus blowing the game and losing againbst FULHAM at the Bridge, an event that had not happned since the 1970s
sorry, but
I refuse to say 'oh well, shit happens'
