Only one of those things can be true.

That's bullshit tho. You were 8 points clear with 9 to go, it didn't matter what City did from that point onwards, if you hadn't fucked up, you're champions. Only one of those games faced you against city, you failed to win 5 more of them You controlled your own destiny and fucked it massively at the most crucial time.

The same can be said for the two clubs that come up short this year. They would've both lost to an absolutely ELITE team and there'd be almost no shame in it. It's why before this week I said if we finish on 94 and Klopp's Liverpool win out and get 96, you just have to hold your hands up and say fair play.

Agreed, but that isn't what happened last season.

I actually think the experience from what happened last year (and adding Declan Rice) will help us get through it this year.

Agreed kinda. I don't think you'll do it this season, City just don't lose title races. But there were two contenders last season and you got 0 points from those two matches. There's 3 contenders this year and you already have 7 points from them, which is already better than what Liverpool or City can do. That's the hardest bit, the slip ups against the rest of the league will become less as your team matures and you continue to add pieces to it. You just can't have another capitulation that sees you finish a distant second/third after being up their ass the whole season coz it's the same shit we've all seen in the previous seasons i mentioned. It'll just add to the pressure when you're next in that situation. Like England with penalties, the more you fail at something the harder it comes to eventually overcome it.
