Ranking the biggest Premier League title slip-ups Image source, Sport By Alex Bysouth Sport Senior Journalist Published 23 minutes ago 31 Comments "Bottlers! " It's the cruel taunt thrown about by rival fans. But you've gotta be in the Premier League title race to win it, right?
It's just when you lead for so long and don't win it, there's a lonely void, an 'it should have been us' vacuum of sorrow.

A six-game winning run through January and February put Spurs in prime position to capitalise on a Foxes stumble, but that never came.

Reinvesting that in Mark Robins and Efan Ekoku, with a young Chris Sutton emerging at Carrow Road, the Canaries led until matchday 26, before an Eric Cantona-inspired Manchester United ploughed a route to the top.
