Banal observation

[KolaKubes]

The media go wild if one of the big sides slips up with a loss but a casual look at the Premier League table tells you that the cumulative effect of draws can be at least as damaging.

I've often found this curious.

At the business end of the table, two or three draws in four games can scupper a title bid.

Or the focus on meetings between the title contenders when f*cking up a week after a big win and you're back to square one.

A key feature of Fergie's success over the years is that while you'd never bet on his sides going the season unbeaten, they get so few draws the way they're set up, they're always going to be in contention.

If Liverpool beat United and Chelsea win or draw, then its back in the melting pot big time.

If I was a betting man, I'd say United now hold the aces.

Chelsea look so brittle against the better teams now though.

Would you bet against one or other (or both) of Arsenal and Utd winning at the Bridge like?

Under Mourinho, I'd have been a lot more fearful going there.

They still have a class squad mind.

Banal. Not really an observation either.

Liverpool have lost less games (3) than Man Utd this season (4) but are eight points behind them, having played a game more.

Everton, on the same points, have lost 7.

Em, not sure what my point is. I've had a few.

chalk it. draws as good as a loss to championship contenders. a single point is worth putting at risk in the chase for three

I was looking at a few of the stats myself today.

Torres has scored 18 league goals at Anfield and 2 away from home.

Have we a new king of the flat track bullies?
