    In tight races wrong calls could be said to play a part between 2 or 3 best teams.

    This season iirc in the game v arsenal in the pl Arsenal fans claimed Mane should have seen a red card. Can't remember the tackle too well so can't say whether it was a fair claim or not.

    Were he sent off he misses 3 games. He scores v Everton and Sheffield united so how could you correct the table were he suspended.
    Same with a second yellow card tackle, a huge amount of unknowable and opinions as yellows can be dished out easily enough.

    I think we can moan about decisions but the lads have to be that good that they seal the deal and make refs inconsequential.
    It's a tough task but that's the challenge for the best. Lucky for us the get on with it mostly and hopefully they start getting on it from the off.
    Having a team that couldn't defend stopped us in 2013-14, you can point to certain instances, but the bad defending was right through the season, and most of Rodgers time here. It's no coincidence we win the title after spending big on a world class keeper and defender.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

The league was always our priority and it still is, that's because you've proved to be the best over a long season. The best teams don't always win cups, but they always win the title.
    They don't have to have an influence over the majority of 38 games, sky. Just in one or two. When a league can be one by a point or by one unit of goal difference, that's all it takes.

    And like I said, you can't define "best" as the team winning the league and then say the best team always wins the league. If you are using "best" to mean the same thing you explained in your first sentence, then the statement "the best teams win the title" is a meaningless tautology. That's why I think you're using the word in two different meanings.

    I don't really know what you're getting at. i know i have explained it best i can. I cannot put it any other way.

    If we win the league this season, and along the way we are helped by certain decisions from the officials, would it get a mention on here? No, is the answer, we were the best team overall and deserved it.

    I understand, sky - I'm merely disagreeing that decisions can't influence the outcome of leagues. I agree it's very unlikely, but don't think it impossible unlike you. It's not a huge distinction.

    Hes just saying that what you are saying is circular.
    The best team wins the league = the team that wins the league wins the league = the best team is the best team

    I agree with you it's impossible to fathom an unrealised reality, if Mane deserved red how do you judge us playing without him for the next 3 games.

    But in a tight title race you can say that fine margins of chance/luck from refs can cost one team or another.

    I mean it's wrong decisions ostensibly made correct. Nothing we should be complaining about.
