We are going to lose some games this season on the way to not winning a title, that'll come most likely due to fixture congestion as it always does, with the advantage going to the team that has players it barely uses in every position. It's already enough of an uphill struggle. We could use games where we easily dismiss teams like Tottenham, or Newcastle rather than willing our way with heroics and red cards.
When we've lost the title before it's been by a point. You can pretend this won't cost dearly if you'd like. I haven't really doubted the character and mentality of this side. I'd rather not have the reminder and have 1 or 3 points more.
I've been teaching my kid how to play board games and instilling in him the idea that you don't cheat, and that even in cooperative games the rules of the game must be enforced, otherwise it's not really a game. He genuinely couldn't understand what the fuck was going on today at 6 years old and neither could I. He was quoting my own words back to myself. He stopped watching the game which was the only rational reaction.
