Take Man Utd's treble in 99. Without doubt, United were the best team that season. But in two crunch games they had unbelievable luck.
Firstly, the FA Cup Semi final replay with Arsenal. After Roy Keane got sent off, Arsenal had countless opportunities to win the game. The penalty probably being the best...I believe United would have won nothing that year if they had lost it. The players would have lost that "never say die" enthusiasm that runs right through out the team.
And that nicely carries on to the Champs league final. How poor and lucky were United in that game...Bayern must have hit the woodwork at least twice before United Equalised. Incredible luck...but it was to be uniteds year. IT was like somthin out of a film or somthin. Stuff like that just doesnt happen in real life!!
You can have all the skill in the world, but winning still requires an element of luck...

Jammy, Hmm.
Well, in the game of "Kicka la ball" its all skill and luck. For example
When a striker, shoots for goal. The shot will go in depending how good he struck it, the conditions, the keeper. And natural elements, like wind.
He shoots, and. May score. After the striker has shot, he has no control over the ball. Its all luck from that. The keeper may dive late, early, may not even see it, he may slip, anything.
Jammy? Hmm, Man Utd are full of world class players, and when you have a team full of world class, its more skill than luck.
"A player that relies on luck, is not a player, he is an amateur."
Amateur's will hit and hope.
World class will direct, and hit.
Jammy? Well, without luck, every team would be in the relegation zone.
Anyone who are/is good. Will have haters. And Man Utd have quite a lot, unfortunatly. Ah well. Stick together. Us United fans.
In fact. How can we suck when we have won the premiership +++ times? Just because they are good, everyone wants to see them lose. How about everyone else? Leeds, Liverpool a mention.
How about you take your "MAN UTD SUCK etc etc" topic. And screw it up. Cover it in acid. Then me and the United "Cru" will make you eat it. Ok?
