9pts behind Spurs

[SLAVEN BILIC]

lets see peoples thoughts on were those 9 pts should've come from.

mine are as follows.

Burnley-away-+1
Spurs-away-+1 (oh Landon)
Arsenal-away-+2
Birmingham-away-+2
Villa-away-+2
West Ham-home-+2

as you can see thats 10pts but only cos Saha should've scored his pen against Burnley. i also haven't gone for the draws at home earlier in the season, we were [Poor language removed] then and didn't deserve anything more. my extra points come from the 2nd half of the season when we outplayed every team we faced and took the lead (apart from the 1st half of the spurs away game).

and i don't buy into moyes' comments that 'we can do a Spurs'. We did a Spurs 5 years ago. so really they've just done an Everton.

When you look at it that way but we also scored our fair share of late goals to steel a couple of wins.

How about when Spurs let us off the hook at Goodison. Should of been 3 points dropped not 1 gained.

Exactly. Like today, and Blackburn and that.

spurs didn't let us off the hook, Coleman turned into Radioactive Man and scared the [Poor language removed] out of them.

Then we loaned him to blackpool to get them up so they can donate 6 points to us next season.

If there are two results that I think we could honestly say "we should have had it," it would have been Arsenal away (last minute goal by them) and West Ham at home (last minute goal by them.)

I think both goals were preventable and should have given us six points instead of two.

But yeah, there were some games (such as today) where we could have easily only had one instead of the three so it evens itself out.

Those two are the two that stick out in my mind though.

we finished 11 points ahead of Birmingham, who for much of the season were ahead of us. Amazing turnaround of form.

Top 8 Mini League or what?

I'm chuffed we finished 8th though....

 

[Neiler]

Same as last year 9 points of the top 4.

Its the same for the teams to be fair. You're talking 1 to 4 points between either winning the league - Chelsea 86, Man United 85 - or 4th, Spurs 70, Man City 67, and so on and so on.

All in all, every team has that "1 game" that should've been 3 points that would've sent them up a place or 2.

If we hadnt beat United they would be Champions, all clubs got tales to tell.
