Okay, Princess, you keep believing that. External factors have no impact whatsoever...

Can you actually read?

You should be happy about that if it's true. Take the win! Arsenal can't.

But I’ve not implied or said external factors don’t affect the result.

But generally external factors affect everyone and the best teams are affected more positively than others by them.

The PGMOL have publicly stated two VAR decisions against us were incorrect.
How many times have they apologised to our opponents for decisions in our favour?

By PGMOL accounts we are the team most impacted negatively against by incorrect decisions.
And by the table we are also the best team, despite this.

If external factors can affect an event positively, why can't they affect an event negatively?

Oh and re: you (allegedly) not saying or implying that external factors don't affect results, this was you:

"The best teams win games anyway. If you don't win the league, it's because you're not good enough".

I think that categorically proves that you are making the point that it's all about the team and that external factors have no bearing.

Can we call it quits now, petal? As entertaining as this is, I'm getting a little bored now.

It proves nothing of the sort.

What it’s stating is that you can’t blame one single decision on not winning the league.

I didn’t say they can’t affect an event negatively. In fact, I literally said the opposite.

Perhaps you should call it a day, as you appear determined to argue something that I have said.

I already suggested calling it a day, sweet pea. Keep up. Better still, stick to your own board and your own rubbish team!

I know you did, that’s why I said what I did.

Reading really isn’t your strong point, is it?

And yet you're still here, cupcake... the mind boggles.

Well yes, why wouldn’t I be?

Admittedly the hope you might actually understand the point is looking a little distant, but I wouldn’t rule it out just yet.

Have you analysed every decision from every season in every league in the World to come up with that assertion that the best teams get decisions going for them?

If not, clear off.

I suggest you re-read what I said and then ask an adult if you’re still struggling.

TopForm, I don't think our little cuddle muffin here knows what his (her? their?) original point was and since he / she / they can't argue it, he / she / they will just repeat ad nauseum "that's not what I said" / "go back and look" et cetera.

Seems to me that others are fine to discuss this subject, so perhaps you and your childish contributions are the problem?

Liverpool lost the title by a point last year. Klopp himself said that this was due to refereeing decisions.

Are you prepared to go back to last season and analyse each decision for Liverpool and City to back up what you're saying?

If not, clear off.

Oh Klopp himself said it, did he?

Must be accurate then.



It's an absolute nonsense, precisely for the reason you're describing... it's simply not realistic to agree on every single decision in every single game, and conclude that refereeing is the reason that they didn't win the league.

Anyone claiming it is, is an idiot.

Are you prepared to go back to last season and analyse each decision for Liverpool and City to back up what you're saying?

If not, clear off.

Why would that help?

Within that analysis there would be a huge number of subjective decisions, so it wouldn't prove a thing.

Try reading before you write your ramblings.

At least if you analysed it you would have some data to back up what you're saying.

"If you don’t win the league it’s because you’re not good enough." Is what you said.

So in all the leagues in the World in every season you there isn't a single counterexample of luck preventing a team that was good enough to win the title from winning the title - according to you.

Since the burden of proof is on you and you can't prove that, we can only assume you are talking horse manure.

So, clear off.

The whole point that any analysis is futile - it's impossible to conclude with any degree of certainty.

What are you struggling with?

And yes, there's never a case where refereeing has prevented a team from winning the league. It's a facking stupid assertion.

" there's never a case where refereeing has prevented a team from winning the league. "

You undermined your ability to show this is correct by the sentence directly above.

"The whole point that any analysis is futile - it's impossible to conclude with any degree of certainty."

This is the problem with people who can't argue in a logical framework. It's a "God exists" argument.

Supply the proof for what you're saying or clear off.

No I'm not... I'm telling you that the data doesn't exist. It's a non existent data point.

And your brain is too small to understand why.

" there's never a case where refereeing has prevented a team from winning the league. "

Prove it Winston or clear off.

The point is beyond you, isn't it?

Proof doesn't exist because the very possibility doesn't exist.
