An Interesting Statistic

It's not a freak result Metro if it keeps on happening.

Spurs are ahead of us for a reason, they are better than us.

We played them off the park at WHL, and lost.

That is the difference.

Reds just embarrass themselves with their steadfast refusal to accept Spurs are better than us at the moment.

who refused to accept it. I merely disagreed with the 2 years behind comment.

and yes... freak results. It's not our fault Suarez goal vs Everton was chalked off. Aguero scored a 1 in a 100 shot a few weeks back. There's 4 points already. Skrtel backpass early in season etc.

I know its all if and buts but my point is that these little blips could easily have been avoided and the12 point gap suddenly becomes 3.

we're talking 3-4 games here that could have went either way.

Every team has these three or four games where small margins cost them, not only us. Spurs are a better team this season, that's clear. But next year is our year....

This.

Every team can point to this or that happening.

Spurs conceded a few late goals early season. If they hasn't, they would be 2nd.

But they did.

Blaming things on 'freak occurrences' is just delusion I am afraid, as every team has games they could have won but didn't.

Simply Spurs have a better team. The reason they're able to win games, come back from the brink in games and to play well consistently is because their team works. We have a flaw in the team or at least we did until January. It is getting there but we're behind them, that much is true.

Spurs have had a better team for most of the season, with the introduction of Sturridge and Countiho and the revival of Henderson etc its not so clear cut.

Next year is our year then.

I'm not 'blaming' anything.

I'm saying that these things could quite easily have been avoided.

The general concensus on this board was that it was a miracle we only picked up 2 from 9 vs Arsenal, City and Brom given the level of performances.

I don't buy the 'all teams have their bad luck and it evens out' business

But we can agree to disagree. I certainly don't see a 2 year gap

I didn't say it evened out.

Every team has their own hard luck story though.
