Where we threw it away

[tadpole]

Against the 5 teams currently above us, we're on 3 wins, 4 draws, and 2 defeats. Not bad at all with just Chelsea to come.

Against the current bottom 7, we're on 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats with just the Sunderland game to come. And that my friends is why we're outside the top 4.

I think its cos sometimes we win, mostly we draw and now and again we get beat.

Them draws mate.

 

[Khalekan]

Newcastle at home.

Imagine we had the extra two points we were robbed off when the ref reckoned Victor's goal hadn't crossed the line.

 

[EFC Si]

The three big ones are Newcastle, Fulham and Norwich (at home). This is why every game counts; we knew this would come back to bite us long before today though.

On the other hand, I'm sure Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea will look back on similar games they threw away.

Newcastle at home.

Yes, but all we had to do was not concede for another 4 minutes.

 

[Khalekan]

I know that but when all is said and done we scored a perfectly good goal which wasn't given ergo their second goal wouldn't have affected the result.

 

[Enrico Pallazzo]

Anfield in a couple of weeks time.

 

[nikom court]

the 5 points dropped to norwich is inexcusable,

 

[ToffeeMike]

The consecutive draws we had in October/November, should have beat Reading, Norwich and Fulham.


AND the January transfer window disaster we had, messed that up pretty badly in a rather embarrassing way.

 

[EFC Si]

We had 2 disallowed didn't we?

 

[EFC NY]

Them draws mate.

We would be 1 point off of third under the old 2 point for a win system.

Chelsea/Arsenal 43
Everton 42
Spurs 41

Would have made a great finish.

(feel free to check math - did this in my head)

 

[Titus Bramble]

Results wise obviously all of the draws which we really should have won. But I think our lack of activity in January is another big factor, we missed out on a new first team quality player to mix it up.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

All those draws mate. Wigan, Southampton, Swansea, Norwich, the list goes on.
