2 reasons we didn't finish in the top 2

1/ We took the least points of all the top 4, off our top 4 'rivals';

Points
Played Won Drew Lost Gained Possible
Chavs 6 5 0 1 15 18
Mancs 6 4 0 2 12 18
Spuds 6 2 0 4 6 18
ARSENAL 6 1 0 5 3 18

2/ Our points tally from the last 11 PL games (not incl this weekends of course), compared to the Spuds was pretty pathetic!

Points
From & Incl Games Won Drew Lost Gained Possible
Spuds 21-Feb-10 11 9 0 2 27 33
ARSENAL 20-Feb-10 11 6 2 3 20 33

Shocking stats, not good enough on so many levels.

I'd suggest that the two real reasons are:

1. Arsene Wenger

2. The Players

I could give you a list of reasons we didn't finish in the top 2. The main reason is that we are not good enough.

It was all down to poor refereeing and other Managers using tactics to beat us....fucking cheats!

Not enough quality players

Too many with delusions of adequacy.

Hmmm.... having to play back up squad players like Diaby/Denilson/Silvestre/Bendtner so many times and COLLECTIVELY has cost us dear this season, coupled with our goalkeeper situation that hasn't been resolved since Lehmann left.

You can get away with 2 of these players now and again, against the lower teams, but not constantly as we have been forced to do on so many occasions this season.

2 reasons we didn't finish in the top 2

2 reasons? hmm.. how about...

1. ManUre
2. Chelsea

After all, those 2 are probably amongst the best 4 teams in the world along with Inter and Barca.

I'm disappointed with many things (especially our defensive record, goalkeeper and the way we've given up when the title looked beyond us) BUT there's no disgrace in finishing behind those 2. In fact, 3rd is probably par for us, really.
