The City draw didn't kill our title challenge.
You always factor those in in any season when you're challenging and dropping points - and even losing against them - is part of the equation to challenging them for the title.
It's the same thing that killed our title challenge in other seasons that did so again this season.
It's the dropping silly points against teams we SHOULD be beating like the (struggling) Man. Uniteds, or the (getting beat at home by) Crystal Palace's.
Those are the places where our challenge dies.
This is going to be our FOURTH loss in the season.
City have won the title in past seasons after losing 3 and even 4 games.
The difference is, they won the games they had to win, while we drew most of ours.
