Subject: RE: BS: Wayne Rooney on the way out
Hi Alan
I agree entirely with you about luck being a necessary factor in making football ( and other sports) more interesting.
Of course sometimes it appears that the top sides get more luck than the others.
In the post war years Arsenal earned the named of " Lucky Arsenal" because the Gods often appeared to shaine on them.
Recently Man United have had their share of good luck- especially with referee decisions. Arthur will well remember the Vidic penalty claim when Man U played Villa last year -or was it the year before.....they go so quickly these days.
I wasn't suggesting luck when thinking about the possibility of United playing Barcelona. I was thinking about Fergie's abilities to be able to plan and get his team to play to match-winning tactics.
Call Fergie what you want ( and many people do ) but his record shows that he is a manager without parallel and has been for many years.
But I suppose we are lucky in having him !!
Cheers
