Who Will Win The League - 2

[Xhaka Can’t]

I want Spurs to finish 2nd instead of us. We need the crowd to be pissed at the board and the manager. We finish ahead of them and Wenger will throw some crap statistic to show that we have progressed.

Fuck that until the end of time and beyond.

We won't be winning the title, not a chance, we blew it a while back and the recent few decent results are typical of us when the pressure is off.

This team has no bottle.

Yep. There was no pressure on the City or Leicester games at home. Only in the ones we lost

Spot on, at last you see the light, the pressure when you're in a position to win the title is quite different and as we know we always bottle it when in that scenario.

We were in a position to win the title all along, till recently.

There's a difference when you get to the business end of the season, that's when it becomes real and that's when we always collapse just as we have this year. Just as we look out of it we start to win again, can't you spot the pattern or are you just refusing to acknowledge the obvious?

So we're 5 points off the top, playing the side on top. No pressure there!

I still think there was a long way to go at that stage and because we were 5 points behind we felt less pressure and we got a bit lucky to win that anyway in the end with a very late goal it wasn't like we won that comfortably.

What was interesting was how we collapsed after that though when we were in the mix again, that tells you all you need to know, we can't handle the pressure when we're one of the favourites to win the title.

As soon as we're out of it we start winning again though, I don't know how much more evidence you need that we can't handle pressure tbh.

There was a long way to go, but you cited pressure as a problem in games we lost before that Now of course you're moving the goalposts, as always.

I think it's a factor, but I think it's overly simplistic to say that is the only problem. We've won plenty of pressure games this season and over the last couple. You don't win FA Cups without being able to cope with pressure. (I think this is where you cite 'easy draws' and I remind you that our draws were not unusually easy, compared with other FA Cup winners so I'll do that here to save us both some time).

I'm not moving the goalposts at all, I don't really know how much more evidence you need that we're bottlers, years of the same should be enough clearly not.

When you're getting closer to winning something major the pressure is higher, hence the reason it's harder to win games for the top teams now.

Regarding the FA Cup the pressure just wasn't the same as that for winning the CL or League, there is pressure but it's somewhat different, in addition our draws were good, home games most of the time and a final against weaker opposition which we almost screwed up and just scraped to a win in in extra time.

I don't think you can compare the pressure of the FA Cup and that of the League or CL.

Seriously, what do you think the cause is for us falling away like this? Your opinion on what's gone wrong for us this season.
