Does it ****!

I seem to remember a thread at the beginning of the season ( after Bolton possibly?). Where someone said they were going to track "luck" for and against us throughout the season.. I'd be interested to know what the current swing is.

Anyone remember this or am I misremembering?

I looked through the fixtures the other day and the amount of shit decisions ect massively out weighs the lucky ones

The current swing is that we've been ****ed over by a ref that hates us, we've been ****ed over by a scouts ref that loves the limelight. And we've been ****ed over by injures that were out of the blue. We're doomed to a life in the 2nd division. It's never going to happen.

Our players seem to get injured with a breeze against them. Burnley on the other hand seem to be made of steel on their promotions.

Been thinking the same. Much as I dislike Dyche and his tactics, he has spine in his teams. Is it really down entirely to bad luck that we have had so many injuries this season?

Didn't they mention something about the pitch last year (perhaps earlier). It differed from the training pitches and was creating problems with injuries. No sure if any of it could be related. Weird though, had the same thought!

If luck evened itself out over time I'd be shagging Scarlett Johansson up the Gary right now instead of writing nonsense on here.
Do you not want to see her face?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Indeed there is, but if I had one chance with Scarlett I'd want to be constantly reminded that it really was her, and preferably not wincing.

surely 4 players off injured would mean 4 red cards for Wednesday?

Seriously I can't believe what we have seen and none of the injuries were from tackles/contact. if I didn't know better it would seem like the team went out cold.

I don't think we have had more than our share of injuries. We just had a series of injuries to defenders in early December that had a big role in a bad run -and then there was tonight! VERY bad luck!

It's an old and rather inaccurate cliche.

You only need compare the stability of other starting 11's to ours to know it's bollocks, before even going into the details of the games.
