I’m not expecting perfection, I’m expecting the number of points that sides who have won the title have on average won

Anyway 2005 and 2006 - Chelsea won at Spurs, 2007 United won at Spurs, City won at Spurs when they won the title in 2012, 2014, 2018 and 2019 and Leicester won at Spurs when they won the title in 2016

The Arsenal winning title sides - won at United in 98 and 2002, won at Liverpool in 2002 and 2004 title wins, and Chelsea in 1998 and 2004 title wins.


But none of this is relevant. We put ourselves in the situation where we have to win at Spurs and United by our failure to win easier fixtures earlier on in the season. It is what it is, if we can’t challenge right to the end then there’s absolutely nothing substantive to your claim that we’ve built on last season and haven’t just hit the ceiling.

I’m responding to your claim that because of City steamroller we are left with impossible task, but if we aren’t getting the points that would usually win us the title that claim is completely empty
