Did anyone else see Match Of The Day with Martin Keown choosing his favourite title deciding matches, it’s well worth watching.
He picked the match against Everton, where we won 4-0, and it showed what a top class player Overmars was and how influential he was in that double winning side.
Then he game against Man U, where Ferguson tried to get his players to kick us off the pitch but we still beat them to win the title.
But the last game was when Chelsea came back from 2-0 down to beat spurs so that Leicester were confirmed as the PL winners in a game where spurs completely embarrassed themselves after trying to rough Chelsea up.
I think they got ten yellow cards and were lucky not to have anyone sent off but it was worth it just to see Kane’s face at the end as he was walking off.
I can see why Keown picked it.
Although Chelsea mathematically stopped spurs having a chance of the title it was the draw at home to WBA that blew it for them.
Standard Poch tbh. Opportunity knocks spurs fold.
I think the exact same thing happened to Man United in 2012. 8 points ahead with 4 games to go and they lost the title- and they have the cheek to call us and Newcastle bottlers
Finishing 2nd was still a little annoying though. We finished above Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Spurs and Liverpool and still didn’t win the fucking thing!
I honestly think that’s probably Wenger’s biggest failing, more so than 07/08.
Leicester were good but we did the double on them, and every other realistic competitor was down and out and we shit the bed and let Rashford become the youngest ever player to score a brace on his PL debut. Total cluster fuck.
It definitely is when you consider our only summer signing was Petr fucking Cech. At that point Wenger wasn’t even trying to build a squad to compete for the title so when it was practically gifted to him of course we choked.
That Welbeck goal still annoys me when I think how hard I celebrated.
He actually sold it as progress the season after since we came in 2nd. His/our luck ran out when Liverpool came back with Klopp in charge. Gone he was.
Presenter Mark Chapman lost his wife at the age of 44. Sad loss that for him and his family. Find him a very likable presenter on football, NFL, Rugby League and Radio.
Doesnt project any sort of ego either.
Really feel for him today. Thats just not right at that age.
