[Letters]

So why are Liverpool so far ahead? Why didn't they ease off and piss on the fans, stroll out the last few games and finish a point ahead? Is it a coincidence the team that won the most games is going to win the title? Probably with a points tally that approximates what City have been doing in recent years. They WON those games to build that margin which means they will inevitably win a title. They kept on winning regardless of the race being over, because that's what winners do! And so they will win the title. Winning is their habit.

And yet the minute they actually wrapped up the title they stopped bothering. 3 wins in 7 now. What a bunch of losers, amirite?
When you first asked the question above I said:

Because they haven't won it yet.

Sure enough the moment they did mathematically win it they got the flip flops out. So I guess that makes them losers, but they're champions so also winners. Schrödinger FC.
It's just human nature, dude. You look back with rose tinted glasses at the "winners" of bygone eras and you forget or ignore the fact that they had flaws too.

It's hard to teach natural born losers what winning entails. Winning NEVER takes the day off. Winning find something to win when it is on holiday. If you are smart, you can win while you are sleeping. I suppose, if winning was easy, everyone would be doing it. So I suppose I should be grateful most people just don't get it.

Can you provide an example of a team that has Never let its standards drop. Because it kind of feels like you’re setting a standard that no team at any time has ever fully met.

Just reading Vieira's autobiography at the moment.
Read a bit yesterday when he talked about the 97/98 season - I'd forgotten that after the Everton game in which we wrapped up the title we lost our last two league games to Liverpool (4-0!) and then to Villa...before going on to win the FA Cup Final and complete the Double.
What losers! Taking their foot off the gas in the last two league games. Right, NQ?

As you said, NQ sets a standard which does not exist and has never existed.
