Yes we can speculate, just as Arsenal will speculate why they didn't win it. United will speculate. City will speculate. Even Everton and Stoke will be saying that they should have finished higher. The clubs at the bottom will be pointing at matches they feel they should have won. Yes, it could have been us just as it could have been plenty of other teams too who also dropped points at some point. That is what makes the league set up so interesting. It is what you achieve over a period of 38 games that counts and every team below Leicester did not do enough to win it.

If he cant even make the bench at Arsenal why would we want him back?

In my lifetime the only club that has gone unbeaten in the Premiership is Arsenal. Every club will have what if moments every season and I remember them clearly when we went down. It is a pointless exercise and gave birth to the phrase "If my aunt had b@lls she would be my uncle." The truth is that we have no idea what would have happened if we had had a different right back or if Shane Long had played in the centre all season. We could have finished with less points as well as more points. In simple terms we are where we are and it has been another decent season. We can bemoan dropped points and wonder what if all day long, it wont change anything. I would rather remember this as another decent season where we have proved that we belong in the top flight and can compete with the best. It wsnt that long ago that we were kicking around in Division One. Here is a what if for you. What if we were still there?

Who cares if they do or if they don't? They have blown their best chance of winning the Premiership.

Why not get carried away? We turned over Spuds in their own back yard. Id say we have every right to get carried away with a wonderful end of the season run of results!!! And if they want 2nd place and to finish above Arsenal they did need to beat us.

I remember the complaints that we hadn't beaten anyone in the top half!!! Special mention to Davo today. Works his socks off and deserves MotM award.

But until then, he has won nothing. He wont get a better chance to win the Premiership but was outdone by the mighty Leicester. The big four will be much stronger next season. He wont win the CL so his best chance is winning a cup, but he tends to flunk cups as well.

Don't worry, this news will be forgotten once there is a rumour that another player will be off. The summer meltdown season is only days away!

Blimey mate, you are hard to please! I thought it was a cracking goal.

"Greasy Frank" was a real character. Remember him most for the long ball he played to set up Mark Dennis for the cross from which Danny Wallace score that great goal against Liverpool.

I know what you mean, but improbable as it sounds, it was true!

Apart from something just smaller than the Great Wall of China appearing along the Mexican border.

on.

Cant see a player coming to the end of his career and with a giant sized ego not going to a club playing CL football next season. He also has an Osvaldo type character. Still, on the plus side he has been accused of stamping on Lovren's head so he cant be all bad.

Don't see this at all. Selling any player has no bearing on how the club view European ambitions. You just might as well say that the club aren't properly serious about staying in the Premiership if they sell Mane.

True legend. Lawrie Mac was right, happy to pay just to see him play. I remember a match at Selhurst Park where he picked up the ball in his own penalty area beat two players when most would have punted it away, ran the length of the pitch and put a shot just past the far post. I remember thinking that moment was worth paying to see on its own.

I would quite happily lend them a tenner. They have done a tremendous job with this club and if people are going to say why didn't you do what Leicester did I would say why didn't Chelsea, United, City etc. do what Leicester did.

Do you think that he would have not wanted to lift the World Cup without "quality" ?

Perhaps it was just for some after hours shooting practice?
