A few seasons back, Jesper Gronkjaer slipped as he was striking the ball and the ball ended up in the back of the net. That slip meant that Chelsea pipped Liverpool to 4th place in the league on the last day of the season and denied Liverpool Champions League qualification. That slip also meant the arrival of a certain Roman Abromavic and glory beckoned.
Fast forward 7 seasons - A certain Macheda slipped as he was striking the ball and the ball ended up in the back of the net for an injury time winner for Manchester United. Has the title just "slipped" away from Liverpool's grasp?
P.S. Who am I kidding? They were both great goals.

No team's got consistency this season...not at least for a part of the season.
So, no team deserves the title this time. It's just the luck factor on which the clubs are running the title race. And it's on the same luck factor...arsnl is running for the 4th place.
So, the title could be anyone's...who knows??
Well, thats what makes it interesting for the neutrals doesn't it?
Or would you rather someone like a Barcelona running away with the league in the first half of this season?
As for Arsenal's fight for 4th place, it's down to Villa's depth in their squad. Or lack thereof. So I won't put that down to luck.
Another slip yesterday results in a goal for Christian Rodriguez. Similar to the Gronkjaer goal.
Weird eh?
