Because we did not play well enough.
Not because our players suffered concussion, or
fell awkwardly on their shoulder, or ...
But you said you're feeling was that teams in the title race get favorable decisions over the rest.

Going by your logic I'd assume you would've won a title by now since your top4 status? Or at least come close.

Also by your logic I wouldn't still be waiting 20+yrs to see my team lift one right? cos according to some of you chaps we get every decision going and some. Because the media and refs are all lfc fans yeah?

1. That would be your logic, not mine.

My logic would not allow me to create such a p*ss poor fallacy.


2. Since our top *3* status.

As in the number of consecutive league finishes achieved,
that the Poool have not managed since 1990.

1. it would be your logic, because you said it.

2. Do you get a cup for that?
 
I`m starting to believe it could be the Mousers year (perish the thought), they have a big enough squad, they are (at the moment) enjoying lots of luck when they need it and referees helping them out when they don`t get the luck.
I was going to say this but yes, absolutely. They do get a lot of luck though don't they!

they haven't played that well, so nothing really needs to go wrong in order for them not to win, just a little justice, even handed refs and equal amounts of luck!
My feeling is that you get "virtuous/vicious circles" .
Specifically, for things like :

- Decisions by officials
- Deflected/own goals

A team in title fights gets much of the above in their favour,
whilst those in the relegation mire get the exact opposite.

Please feel free to show us how saying that teams in a title
fight experience the "virtuous circle" implies winning
the league ...


"2. Do you get a cup for that?"

Yep.
Gonna be at least 30 years until the Poool win this one.
<whistle>

QED.

1. Reason = fallacious argument

2. Rationale

The fact that a team involved in a title fight allegedly benefits from
a "virtuous circle" does not imply that any such team will
benefit to such an extent that it will or should win them the title.


All the above is obvious (self-evident really) to CS grads
such as me, who were taught logic (mathematical and philosophical)
as 1st year students.

So in summary, you :

- began this latest foray with a WUM level of "gobshite"
- and ended with a WUM level of "painfully embarrassed for Sucky"

Worst. News. Ever.

Really wanted him to stay. Watch United become a good team again now.

The only good thing is that, as he's been sacked 3 times in England, it is unlikely that he will be coming back here ever again. Such an odious little prick.
With a £24M pay off, I doubt if he'd want to or need to.
 
Conte's available, Poch could be lured away, Ancelotti maybe. Nobody will have the success of Ferguson so I'm not concerned that they'll ever return to their fomer glories.
