After 22 games of this season we were 7 points off Arsenal and Leicester at the top and four points off Man City.
At no time were we ever top of the league throughout the season, we were always playing catch-up and never less than 5 points off Leicester for god knows how long. We've not 'bottled it' or 'choked' because realistically we were never really in the title race, despite us playing at full-throttle for the past four relentless months.
Since gameweek 22 we've put 10 points on Arsenal (and Chelsea), 11 on Manchester City and, for what it's worth, 25 points on Liverpool.
Yes, there's stuff to work on for next year: Draws into wins, holding onto leads, goals conceded from crosses into the box etc. but I reckon we've had a season to be proud of, and a win at home to Southampton will top things off nicely. COYS.
