No, it's not. This bullshit needs putting to bed. In a one off ninety minutes it's up to a team to be at their absolute best, otherwise they risk not winning the big prize. Your centre back slips in the 90th minute to let the opponent score? Tough shit. You've had 89 minutes previous to assert your authority and prove you are the best. A winner doesn't win by luck, it just means the loser didn't do enough to win the game. If anything, it's harder to win this trophy because the margin for error is zero. It's a cliche as old as time but it rings true: you make your own luck in football.Winning ANY knockout trophy is luck,any competition

Surely one of the best things about football is that a single slip can undo 89 minutes of a good performance.No, it's not. This bullshit needs putting to bed.

I’m a little torn this season because we have no idea how much the World Cup is going to fuck up our season.Ok so this is all hypothetical but..,
Would you take the League finishing as it is if City were guaranteed champions league victory?
OK so the bad news is Arsenal win the league!
City win the champions league!
City win the FA Cup
City go out of League Cup, it is won by a team outside the media top 6
Chelsea, United and Liverpool all miss out on Champions league
Leeds are relegated

There is no such thing as luck. It is a fiction of the human imagination.Winning ANY knockout trophy is luck,any competition
