Just been reminded on Twitter that this game happened ten years ago. I was there at the match, definitely makes me feel old

Quick “odd one out” competition

The spud result is in green….![]()
Not that it’s done us many favours but even with Liverpool far ahead of us this season. Collectively over this season and the past two seasons we have been the most consistent team. Joint most wins with Man City (71), fewest defeats (14) and most away wins (32).
And of course most points (235) compared to City (232) and Liverpool (222)
So...I think what you're saying is...

Feels like the period with Wenger when were calendar year champions but you just knew it wasn’t going to amount to anything.
We also haven’t lost despite scoring first, or conceded more than two goals in a game, in 15 months
As I said in the Everton match thread, If we actually had goalscorers we’d have walked the league. Away from home this season, there are four occasions where we’ve taken a one goal lead but been pegged back to drop points. And in three of those it’s either been the award of a dodgy pel (Brighton and Everton) or being down to ten men (Man City)
At home? You have the red card against Brighton, that we lost two defenders against Liverpool and really only defensive self harm against Villa.
I know people on here have said we aren’t as defensively solid as last season but I don’t think that’s true. The fact despite having no strikers in the team we’ve only lost three times suggests that we are very defensively solid
The main folly has been lack of goals, which as much as slow build up play doesn’t help has been essentially down to injury and failure to strengthen.
