Nothing directed personally at you mate, but this kind of shit is bugging the hell out of me.
There is nothing lucky about having a world class goal keeper. United have one (normally), Chelsea, Liverpool.... and they ALL make at least one or two cracking saves on average per game.
Secondly, hitting the cross bar or post is recorded as a shot OFF target. The line has the end somewhere.
Very few teams go through a game without a few hairy moments, but the fact remains that we are THE ONLY TEAM IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE TO NOT CONCEDED A SINGLE GOAL.
You can look at if, ands or buts if you like, but that's something that I associate with the bad old days... how we NEARLY bet good teams... How we SHOULD have beaten the big teams in certain games, BUT for the post and crossbar... IF their keeper hadn't made great saves AND they hadn't scored that lucky goal...
Its looking like we could be one of the these teams now, so let the losing fans talk like this.
