One may also ask, how come we didn't win the Prem last year, when everything was on our side.
I don't think everything was on our side and to go that close with that squad (an inferior one) was a good effort. Ultimately the difference was in the quality the Manc's were able to call upon. When they needed a bit of magic in that crucial game against Villa, they got it and went on to win the game, even though they'd been more or less outplayed for 70 mins.
