When did I say that?

#24205

Except they’ve proven you kind of do…

Fuck Leicester.

#24206

Was it just the west midlands then? lol

#24207

If it fits your bitter narrative, then good for you. Literally.

No one wins a league title by fluke. You’re probably someone who thinks every single win they had that season was lucky.

#24208

The fact that they didn’t even came close to repeating those results (the point total) show that that season was a fluke.

We never came close to our 90 point total. Was that a fluke?

You can’t fluke a league winning season. You’re like the only person in the world who believes you can.

#24210

It wasn’t a fluke. 87 points in 01/02. 83 in 04/05. That seems close doesn’t, it?

For the record. Arsenal winning the title that season would have been a fluke too.

Leicester were 10 points ahead when they won it.

Not a fluke.

They lost Kante that summer, leading to bad results. They still kept a pretty good home record the next season too (although a very bad away record). They changed manager halfway through the season. Never helps in a defence of a title.

I think if we’re calling Leicesters a fluke, there are many more league winning teams we can call bullshit flukes. Leeds, Blackburn, Arsenal (numberous times), Forest, Villa, Ipswich.

I’ll say it again, you’re the only one who thinks a team can win a league title by fluke. You clearly didn’t watch that season and you’re just sore that a more “fashionable” team didn’t win the league, Seaman David

#24212

Mate. The drop off was 37(!) points. That is not just because you lose one player. Point totals since promoted: 41, 81, 44, 47 and 52. One of those seasons clearly stands out as a fluke, no?

Is Marcos Alonso the only player in the PL who has his number on the front and back of his shirt? :grin:

Drinks break music at West Ham Chelsea has been better than the actual game so far

#24217

Do the same for Leeds in 92, Derby in 72, Blackburn in 95, Forest in 78.

There is no way you can fluke a league season. 38 solid performances win you the league. You have to view the league in that one snapshot in time. Forget seasons before and after.

Which, again, leaves me convinced you didn’t watch City win the league that season and you’re only seeing it as a statistic.

#24218

You can apply the same logic too those teams indeed.

There is definitely a possiblity to fluke a season. You just don’t want to believe that.

VAR screwing West Ham again :eyes:

#24220

What the fuck was that :joy::joy::joy: not a chance that should have been disallowed

See, now I know you’re alone in this. Especially if you’re adding those teams in.

There’s an old adage- you can win a cup by luck, but you can’t win a league title by luck.

They ought to add “unless you’re SD Gooner” at the end of that

2 of my pals are Hammers and they’re absolutely fuming right now. Shambles of a decision
