Leicester were definitely lucky, they won the league with the lowest point total of the last 10 years or something. If there was one other top club in good shape they would not have won it.
The Luck was that we gave it to them on a silver platter.

How do you think a data-led target will look, Virgil van Dijk? Finding underrated players is exactly what moneyball is all about.
The luck is that Giroud forgot how to play football halfway through the season.
Pretty much a carbon copy of the Jose SeasonsThey were a bit lucky but you cannot ride your luck for 38 matches and win the League. You have to be a very good team on top of getting that bit of good fortune too.
We got the good fortune early last season but history shows that we were not very good.
And that is the difference between us and Leicester.
We're not looking for players who "can play in the Premier League", we're looking for players who can make a step up to Spurs and fit the system.Oh C'mon! You need data to see if a premier league player can play in the premier league? It's circular logic.
Data-led signings are typically for mining gems from lower leagues, which is exactly what Brighton does.
Yes they love doing fuck all!
Payed Holiday. Who wouldn't?
Bella-Kotchap still available, deal with Dortmund has collapsed.![]()
Really can’t see why on earth we’ve left it down to the wire again. Been sitting on our hands for the 3 weeks.Nearly 100m in deadline day purchases, what a mess. At least Johnson should've been done already. Levy loves this nonsense too much.
