If it's the clip I saw of Sergio's Samba it is Dished by Purple Disco Machine. Sample/remix of Male Stripper.Anyone know the name of the tune that the players were dancing (Laporte very badly) to in the dressing room?
They played it in City Square last night after the game too

They aren't though. The same thing was said about England losing them all the time and Germany winning them. They aren't a lottery, they are the application of technique under pressure. City practise them, and practise them frequently, and as a result they're very good at them. This isn't luck, and it isn't a lottery. It is preparation.
Fair one. I agree. Glad you pointed it out as I read a few things now, thanks to Dr Google too.
But, I would argue THEY are a lottery (adding your argument to that). The application of technique and bettering the odds is standard practice in gambling. There's an element of luck - good or bad. Simply changing from a Nike ball (PL) to Adidas (CL) or Mitre (FA Cup/League Cup) can be a fraction of marginal gain to the party that practices most.

However, now I am swayed in saying they are not a lottery because Ronaldo said they are.

It’s just occurred to me that this is the first time that we have had more League Cups than either league titles or FA Cups.
Hopefully at the end of the season we'll have an equal amount of all 3.It’s just occurred to me that this is the first time that we have had more League Cups than either league titles or FA Cups.
