    We've been very lucky in our finals since the turn of the Century.
    Okay, I'll concede we've been lucky. But as the saying goes:

    You gotta be good to be lucky and you gotta be lucky to be good
    Forwards.......

Good teams score goals late on in matches because they're good - they find a way to win or equalise or whatever. If one team is fitter than another then they'll play better than them towards the end of the game. If, as we saw on New Year's Day, Bolton try to play two games in two days with two central midfielders with a combined age of 72 then they're going to get steamrollered by a team playing its second game with a midfiield aged only 52.

        Referees also favour big clubs, all the stats prove that and because it doesn't even out it can't be pure luck. It seems to me there are three factors: the crowd; what the officials expect to see; and influence by managers, etc. Obviously crowds can influence officials and the bigger the crowd then surely the greater the influence. Another factor is the officials' expectations. When your defence is held to be poor, 50/50 decisions go against the defender; when you've got the best defence in the League, you get the benefit of the doubt (e.g. Henchoz's constant handballing). The final factor is intimidation by club management and it is here that Ferguson in particular excels. (It does him no credit as a human being of course but in his wine and whisky-addled haze he can probably live my disapproval.)

        The point is that these things are not really luck at all.

        I pointed this out to him but it was like banging my head against a brick wall!

          He's thick then. Why isn't he working for you?

          Piss in his kettle, it's the only option.

          .
          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

            he is damn beligerent! we've got another chelski fan in the office and he is nothing like the boss. It is frustrating when you meet fans of other teams who refuse to concede any sort of praise for the oppo. It maybe one thing if he was a 18yr old but he's a 50yr old bloke! Even I can give a bit of faint damn praise for oppo teams.

              If he's 50 then I suggest you just let it go. But do make sure he knows you're letting it go. You know the sort of thing, lots of and and "o rly?"

              He'll either realise he's behaving like a dick or get so frustrated that he'll have a heart attack.

                but its not like we just have to win a final to win a cup is it

                teams that played against our final victims in earlier rounds may say they were lucky to be there etc etc

                its all subjective but at the end if a team is consistenly winning trophies they have to have far far more than luck on their side

                  lucky? every fcuking team needs a bit of luck at some stage, they outplayed us 1st half, we outplayed them 2nd half, extra time was a nothing 30mins and we won on pens, what's all this luck nonsense about?
                  Ps we also should have had a penalty in normal time, nesta hand balled in the box, crespo went up the other end to make 3nil.
                  well he won't be here long remember the top 3 promise

                    there is also no shame in admitting that we have faced incredibly difficult runs to all of those finals
