Statistically, you are wrong Having fewer points than our rivals is what is costing us titles. None of us can isolate which points cost us. They all did.

We have drawn away to Chelsea in the last two seasons, neither of which were good performances or good results. Last time we won there was November 22.

If you want to win the league, you have to look to win every game. Title winners might consider a draw a 'good point' maybe once or twice a season. And even then it will be games where they have had to weather something.

Liverpool were there to be beaten yesterday and after having the odd poke at them in the first half we gave up in the second and settled for a draw.

How many times last season did we see us do the same with a 1-0 lead against an assortment of **** teams that title challengers should be dominating and wiping the floor with.

So, last two seasons- Liverpool, City, Newcastle, Chelsea. Not one away win from any of those 8 games. And you can now add a 9th game to that.

I'm not saying we should win all of these games. I am saying that the way we approach them means we are more or less incapable of winning any of them. Which means we have absolutely no room to slip up against anyone else....... I'm not big on 'statement wins' but at some stage we have to go to one of these games and play like we mean it. Outplay them, beat them, and come home.

When we look capable of doing that, we'll start to look like title winners. As long as we keep pushing out the negative crap we served up in the second half yesterday we will never win anything.
