Whose decision was it not to have the scores being updated on the jumbotron? Is that a PL rule for the final day of the season?
Or was it a club decision?

IMO our form after Spurs v Woolwich this season is the same as it was before, we have been consistent across the whole season, pretty much. Pretty sure Woolwich didn't have such a good ru-in last season, while we capitulated with a draw at Villa and losing most of the other games. And that's the difference between this season and last. Can't remember us showing the form to beat City 3:1 last season, and getting a draw at Chavs, or Woolwich taking so many of their last 21 points. Last time we just folded for the last 7 games..
We should be asking how a team that can average that kind of rate didn't—at any point in the season—seem like title contenders. They were on pace for 99 points! Suck on that, Fergie!I'm not sure how that's us throwing it away, more like them upping their game.
Club decision, didnt want the distraction for the players....
http://www.hark.com/clips/zbfhxysrdc-you-want-the-impossibleAgain, we were 7pts clear. They upped their game, and we didnt. We threw away a 7pt point lead over them, and dress it up and describe any way you choose to, but the simple fact is, if we didnt throw it away, we would have finished above them.
If Woolwich upped and improved their form, and we went out and lost or drew games we needed to win to stay in front of them, shall we sit here and say it was beyond our control? Cos arse played well in their games?
Didnt hear people saying that last season.
But we had a fantastic start last season.
Either way we still played 38 games.
The order the results come in is irrelevant when you total up the points and compare totals against your rivals, so all this back slapping for 72 points is cobblers... We finished 5th and not even by way of goal difference.
I dont understand a couple of notions in this view.
1) That last season we threw it away, but this season we didnt. You say we capitulated at Villa, but ignore the shit performance at home to Fulham, the poor display against Everton and being played off the park at Wigan and luckily getting a last minute own goal to salvage a point. Or how about the defensive comedy circus act at Anfield that gifted Pool the points. Thats not throwing it away? How is that different?
2) The dismissing of those performances and results by saying Woolwich found great form? Surely thats the point of proving you are the better team right? To win the games you need to in order to finish above your rivals?
People seem to forget we actually finished 4th last season.
