Chill. It wonât be won or lost in a week
In that 87-88 season we drew 3 in a row and 4 in 6 in Nov / Dec - can you imagine this place or the media now if that happened?
Won the title by 9pts and lost only 2 games all season.......
It's difficult to reel off the 87/88 results to his generation, as it means nothing to them. I can because I experienced it, but even I can't remember the so called blip in November and December, because there was no media coverage in comparison to the 24/7 diet of it today. Not only that, but when you win the title, all the bad days are soon forgotten.
Because of Guardiola, draws are apparantly the new "defeats", so anytime we draw, even when we extend our lead as we did from 2 to 3 and 4 to 5 points, there's mass panic and chaos.
I don't think we'll win next time out, not because we're not good enough, but it's the last time we go there without VAR protection, and no doubt we'll get done by some crappy decision as happens every year. That doesn't mean the season is over. This time last year the title race was over, and despite every pundit calling it for our rivals, we are 12 games from the biggest achievement this club has had since Istanbul.
