Yes. Not sure how you can see it any other way. It was theirs to lose and they've lost it spectacularly. They've gone from being well clear to having lost the title in 8 (eight!) games.
They were clear, gaining something like 2.5points a game for the first 75% of the season and then 1.5...
In future years we'll look back and say 'remember when we played Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd, the three biggest teams in the country, nine times in the same season and beat them 6 times, losing only once?'*
*Losing on p.ks isn't a real loss.
Kevin Carter was a photojournalist who took photos of often brutal situations - apartheid at it's most raw, executions, war. He took this photo which won him the pulitzer prize. (Warning: it's a grim photo of an emaciated child, collapsed on the floor with a vulture stalking them)

Why would any Albion fan not want us to be in Europe?
These are the golden days of being an Albion supporter. Who knows how long they'll last?
I was too young for 'the good old days' but I grew up with stories about them and their near mythical greatness. It turns out that the good old...
I was gutted. It had taken three years of slow progress to get to the point where it looked like we'd cracked it. The last 8 games of last season and the start of this had us getting the results and goals our performances had previously 'deserved' but not got.
Then he f***ed off taking all of...
I think White would be fantastic in this Brighton team. He might not be the world's best pure defender but his ability on the ball and passing range is excellent. He'd fit in well as either a centre back or right back. I reckon if he played at right back our right hand side with him and March...
Yeah, I changed my mind as the half went on too! That second half is one reason among many that I'm not one of the best managers in Europe. We were sensational.
I'd take the point to be honest. We don't have much on the bench and I'm worried that as the half goes on and we tire more we're going to give the ball away one too many times in a dangerous position.
If we had options off the bench and looked fresher I'd go for the win but I really, really...
We look off it today to me. Not sure if it's tiredness or down to Arsenal's system/pressing. We've given the ball away sloppily a lot.
The way we play is high risk/high reward but the balance shifts towards risk when our passing machine isn't perfectly calibrated. That's my worry but Arsenal...
Good question. I vacillated between south and south west, which led me to the realisation that not only did I not know this or where the south coast actually was but every region was fuzzy in my mind. So I googled it and apparently there are nine official regions of England, Dorset being in...
I think we're either going to be SCINTILLATINGLY good or we're going to be as shit as we were against Everton and be annihilated. Absolutely nothing in between is possible. Hence I'm plumping for a 7-3 win for the Albion...
This isn't a question necessarily aimed at you A.R but where exactly is the South coast? Is it all the way from the tip of cornwall to the eastern edge of Kent?
It's just that whenever we play pompey, saints or bournemouth it seems to get called a south coast derby but if we play plymouth it...
It might be an accounts thing as well? We've made a lot of money with the sale of Biss, Cucurella, Trossard, Maupay and the money we got for Potter and the gang so maybe it makes accounting sense to spend some of it in the same accounting year?
Although it's only Pedro(so far...) that has cost...
They might be in for him or just interested but it doesn't mean much, they're a basket case of a club. I reckon Mac Allister isn't particularly desperate to join them, especially as all the reports about him mention he wants champions league football.
Its probably just the Express putting 2...
I posted something similar on another thread.
There will be at least three quality premier league midfielders on the market for considerably less than Caicedo would cost this summer, namely Mount, Kovacic and Tielemans. There are also other players in the league and many cheaper players across...
Good point about the shoulder injury.
I thought he was purely a defensive midfielder but a bit of googling suggests that he plays central midfield as much if not more than he does defensive so he wouldn't be coming here purely as Caicedo cover which was my original thinking.
I still reckon...
That's my first thought too. Surely not Leicester when they're staring relegation in the face. He;s been a bit part player at Dortmund so would he join is to be Caicedo's deputy? If you're going from bit part player to bit part player then Newcastle woud seem the better option. Guaranteed...
