The element of luck has been ignored in the analysis of yesterday's loss.

[Gunner Since Time Began - born to moan]

Missed PK's due to hitting the post is bad luck. Rooney's goals v Man City just trickled in while RVP's free kick was deflected by a defender's foot lucky for Manure.

[JJSB]

though also qualified this by saying it should not come down to these fine margins anyway against opponents of that calibre.

And things like Gervinho missing an open goal does not count as bad luck either

[Alexism - Atheoist]

That miss is unforgiveable.
