I know it always feels that fortune doesn't shine on us -witnessed by the regularity of the point losing late goal seemingly every game -but how about Leicester? (and Villa for that matter). Must be an illusion - all teams are unlucky! (except for Chelsea of course).

S'funny, on the way home yesterday I got to wondering what the table would look like if you took the score at say, 88 mins as the result. Presume we'd be a few places higher. But, it's not luck - I've been suspicious about our overall fitness levels for a few years. At some point you do start wondering if there's a connection between conceding late goals and the teams energy flagging.Comment

I think it is a long standing issue with the club. Remember City?

We've conceded 9 goals in the last 10 minutes of games, more than at any other 10 min slot in a game. Must be a combination of bad luck, bad judgment, lack of concentration and lack of fitness. But those goals have cost us at least 5 points to his seasonComment
