Liverpool is media's darlings at the moment because they've not been in the top 4 discussion for a while. It could have been Spurs, Everton or even Arsenal even though they're a typical top 4 team. It happened to be Liverpool and then the obligatory over-focus on Hillsborough and the usual Liverpool blabber comes along with it. Liverpool is a very emotional club, when someone dies there they die "for the club", when someone is born they're "born in the club", when someone fart the national anthem they do it "for the club". They stole a perfectly normal pop song and claim it's theirs for fucks sake so everyone knows that the scouser side of Liverpool isn't quite "normal" and we just have to accept that. Everything is always "bigger" in Liverpool FC, they're the USA of English Premier League in that respect. Like it or not, that's just how it is and it is a bit overwhelming for neutrals and anti-LFC'ers alike.
Liverpool deserve to be where they are, they've scored a massive amount of goals and play some very entertaining football. Being good is also about being lucky in the right moments, be it with ref's, goal posts and even sunlight. Let's not forget that Suarez set a world record in post shots a season ago or so, if we add those 20-some missed chances to LFC's goal tally and recalculate points LFC would be around the top then as well. That's basically how it goes in football. It's pointless to discuss this or that decision that went this or that way even though it does not even out over the course of a season. It evens out over the course of several seasons, maybe. This time Liverpool has the karma, the class and the charisma and let them enjoy it. You don't have to like it but you better accept it because even if they don't win they will be treated as heroes and the "spiritual" winners of the PL 2014.
Good luck.
Luck is something that happens which is not of your doing.
It's a litle bit harsh to say that hitting the post is inaccuracy...
What if a shot hits the post and then in goal: is that extreme accuracy ?
As for referee decisions: there is a problem. But most people think the problem is the poor quality of the refs. I don't agree with that. The rules are the problem: the rules haven't followed the football evolution. We watch 21th century football that is regulated (on and off the pitch) with 19th century rules.
Penalties and corners are the most obvious example. If a ref apllies the rules he can award a penalty every time there is a corner. FIFA or UEFA should make a statement and either change the rules (the obvious solution) or issue orders for the refs that every contact should indeed result in a penalty. A defender holds an attacker: penalty, no matter how low the impact was...
It infuriates me that refs don't give fouls in the box, for offenses that everywhere else on the pitch should be given...This is absurd with the rules that are used now.
You know, if you hit the ball just right or just a tad too much on the side can most definitely connect with luck. The ball bounces on a field which has nothing to do with "your own doing" but it surely affects the point of impact.
Luck in regards to referee's; The ref looks away in the "right" or "wrong" moment. Another player gets in the way of the ref's vision or similar, not necessarily your doing or intentional but it happens. "Coincidence in your favor" is luck.
You can't say that Suarez has magically become a completely different finisher this season compared to last, when the difference between last years finishers and this years are mere millimeters and centimeters in a sport that uses meters as measurements. So, I stand firmly by my statement.
By the way, who's the nitpicker now?
PS. Why aren't there any "Justice for the 39" plaque's on Anfield? Oh right...
Might be an off- topic subject. I read this about wages and some clubs went up and others went down on the rankings. To compete wages is very much part of the game. Arsenal came from (15) to (11) and they might just get a trophy possibly. Chelsea has changed (-minus, top striker wages)and FFP might have clubs moderating.

Lot of empty seats at Etihad stadium...

Well, yea, you can score a fluke goal for example. But that's still inaccuracy.
There weren't that many when I got there. Traffic was horrible and there were quite a lot of us still entering the stadium 20-30 mins into the game.
Still, wish I had left my seat empty after that turgid shite!
