We weren't just neck and neck, it was practically the last kick of the season and if he scored that penalty we'd have went into the Champions League denying Liverpool not only their place the following season, but from going on to actually win the thing. Such fine margins in football at times.
Edit: wait, no, I'm wrong; it was only the final home game. Point still stands though.
It doesn't, at all.
Even if we'd beaten Wolves we'd have had to go to Anfield and win on the last day.
