And let me guess, poor old Spurs always lose out? If it was fair and the refs werent bent you would have won 9 PL titles?
My post explicitly said that it didn't affect Spurs position. It's nothing to do with bias - it's just random. You are normally more sensible than this @Bodinki, is maths your weak spot?
So what the hell are you trying to say? You feel the system isn't flawed but that the current system does not show who the best team is over 38 games. You feel that bad decisions do not even out over the season, but that it doesn't affect your league position regardless. please log in to view this image So what the **** are you trying to say?
Pretty close! The League Champions are most likely to be the best team but are not certain to be because luck can still make a few points difference over 38 games. There is no way of removing the luck component so that isn't a flaw in the system. If bad decisions occur randomly then there is no mechanism by which they can even out. Look at the lottery numbers - even after many years some numbers have come up a lot more than others. Spurs were sufficiently behind both Leicester and Chelsea that luck couldn't have made the difference.
Eventually youve hit the head on your comment by admitting its was a pointless non comment that started it conversation.
Right......... Given that fact, what exactly is it you are arguing then? That the system is not flawed but we cannot remove luck from the game and that bad decisions dont affect your league position, so.....what has been the point of your entire assertion? I am confused. I think Piskie is right, you are making a non point. (or more likely, you started to say Spurs were hard done by, then back tracked when you realised you were talking out of your fart pipe).
The specific comment I was first replying to was the assertion that Spurs had the best starting XI was laughable. I've never claimed that Spurs have been hard done by. It is important for people to understand that bad decisions don't even out, though, because that is often used to argue against using technology to improve refereeing. Which is why I've carried on the discussion for so long despite people accusing me of making arguments that I have not made.
I'm indebted to you for posting this insight. Just to be clear, I never expect you to understand anything I post about.
Amusing to hear Gary Neville mentioning that Spurs have got the most points over the last two seasons.
