Most teams can say if their chances went in and oppositions didnt....then they would have more points. Only Sunderland can say opposition have created more than them in every gameWe could have won the Norwich, West Brom, Cardiff, Spurs, Palace and Liverpool matches. That would put us 12 points higher putting us at 40 points and making us top of the table
Stupid draws.....
Yes, but we dropped a lot of points due to bad luck and last minute concessions last year too. Newcastle at home was especially galling. We had our moments of luck against Chelsea, or with United hitting the bar twice. It happens to every team every year, to varying degrees.
Stop this, you will do your head in.
Now, think about this, if Spurs and Palace put away chances and rat face scored from his chance in stoppage time...That would put us 3 points lower.
Also, what if we never twice came back from behind against West Ham?
In all seriousness, the draws at the start was better than losing considering we were a team in a management transition.
