Arsenal - Aston Villa, Today, In about 3 and a half hours.

Qwiss I'm absolutely not stressing mate, you're entitled to your opinion and obviously I'm aware it's one shared by more than few people. I think it's possible to acknowledge that there is at least a grain of truth in that opinion, but also say that with a slightly better rub of the green we would be a lot closer to Liverpool than we currently are.

RocktheCasbah I think it goes both ways. Maybe you don't see enough comments saying that part of why we're so far behind Liverpool are due to injuries, but you probably didn't see many comments last season saying that part of why we ended up so far ahead of Liverpool were due to their injuries either.

Neither are the rest of us, we are just having a chat.

I just don't buy the rub of the green stuff. You make your own luck. Yeah we've had bad ref decisions against us but like I say the last couple of weeks we've had some favourable ones too. We beat Spurs with that corner, we got an unfair penalty against United, etc

RocktheCasbah

QuincyAbeyie Yeah, that's fair. Not going to argue it.

Actually research proves you don't make your own luck. You can be extremely lucky over the course of an entire season (e.g. Leicester title winning season) or extremely unlucky (e.g. Arsenal in the same season).

How were we unlucky in 2016? We didn’t have a world class striker and that cost us. Had we signed one in Jan 2016 we would have won the title. That not bad luck, that’s incompetence. Sound familiar?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sicario2 - Tier 1 our striker went 17 games in a row without scoring that season. Sickening.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Had we signed one in Jan 2016 we would have won the title.

Sounds to me like you make your own luck. Also sounds to me like any "research" proving otherwise is pseudoscientific horseshit.

Think 07/08 we were unlucky (we could have done more but we also had some big headwinds) but other than that it’s been on us as much as it’s been on referees and injuries
