You need to look at the whole picture when discussing those days for example it the number of places between us and Arsenal that season was not the issue, Its was the number of POINTS, Also you need to look at the team mentality at the time and difference betwee
n those two seasons. You also need to look at business model and the business plan of the club at the time. You need to look what was happening to the "big teams" at the time etc etc etc.
If Leicester win it this season its a massive achievement but one very different to what Jose did”
The gap between us and Arsenal was purely down to a mental block, not the actual talents of the players. We could not beat them no matter what. There was even the game at the Bridge when we 2 up with 20 mins to go, then Kanu came on and scored a hat-trick in 15 mins.
We finally beat them in the CL and the jinx was well and truly over. Turn round two loses against them into two wins and that points gap is overturned.
It is no big deal to overcome just one team that is ahead of you!
