Life is not perfect and no one is perfect. Nothing is guaranteed in life except the fact that every living thing will die someday. Even your death date is not guaranteed.
If it were, would you bet £100,000 now beg borrow or steal on City winning the league?
One red card one penalty could swing things. But yea, it’s gone. City could play with 5 players and without a keeper and still not drop a single point. Guaranteed ya?
I totally agree with that
but to extend your analogy, does a 40 year old in perfect health have a higher chance of dying tomorrow or in 30 years time? Just because someone accepts they might die tomorrow does not mean they've given up on life now does it? It's just a recognition of reality.
What went wrong?? yeah 97 points is a real catastrophe!! Bloody hell some of you "fans" are unbelievable. We have had an astonishing season whatever happens in these next 3 games, did we get maximum points, NO but we came very bloody close to it and guess what City the best team like ever ever ever didn't get max points either, in fact they lost 3 more games than we did!
Whatever happens I am immensely proud of this team and their efforts this season.
I never said it was a catastrophe, I said we can recognise success even in failure. 97 points - assuming we get to 97 points - is a phenomenal achievement, but if both us and City win our final three matchs, it's two points less than was needed to win the league. Besides it's not 97 points, it's 8 points. That's the swing since the turn of the year. Clearly something somewhere went wrong somewhere for us to go from seven points ahead of City to potentially finishing a point behind them. So we examine what went wrong for that to occur, learn from it, ensure it doesn't happen next season and kick on and win the league. Two mutually co-existent points of view to take.
What I would like to know is your thoughts on whether we should avoid draws like the plague and not be afraid of losing a match in an attempt to win it next season? Do you think that's a good thing? Or do you feel draws still have value?
