nevermind the fact we went like 7 games with only 1 win in end of april/march
to be honest, we lost the title because of drogbas goal not being ruled off when it clearly was and adebeyors goal being disaloud when he was clearly on...4 points stolen, funnily enough thats how many points from the top2 we are...interesting.
although man utds goal difference is far superior i think we would have had the confidence to get somthing had chelsea and liverpool not robbed us
I DISAGREE. ALTHOUGH WE DID DROP UNNECESSARY POINTS BEFORE THEN, IN REALITY WE WERE STILL VERY MUCH IN THE TITLE RACE UNTIL THE LIVERPOOL AND MAN UTD MATCHES (YOU COULD EVEN ADD CHELSEA IF YOU WANT). HAD WE PICKED UP THE POINTS FROM THOSE GAMES THAT OUR PERFORMANCES DESERVED, WE WOULD BE TOP NOW AND FAVOURITES FOR THE TITLE DUE TO OUR PERCEIVED EASIER RUN-IN.
IT'S EASY TO SAY THAT BIRMINGHAM WAS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG, AND I REMEMBER WRITING A POST AT THE TIME SAYING THAT IF WE DIDN'T WIN THE TITLE, WE'D BE LOOKING BACK AT THIS MATCH - BECAUSE WE HAD A CHANCE TO GO 8 POINTS CLEAR AND ESTABLISH A PYSCHOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE - AS THE START OF THE DOWNFALL.
HOWEVER, IT'S TRANSPIRED THAT DESPITE THOSE SET-BACKS, WE WOULD STILL BE IN A POSITION TO CLINCH THE TITLE HAD WE ACHIEVED THE RESULTS FROM THE SUBSEQUENTLY AFOREMENTIONED MATCHES.
