    But they're not a great side and yes, the Haaland and Izak thing is pretty ridiculous. They have had luck with decisions and with injuries.
    Had we not had all our injuries we'd be a lot closer to them, I reckon, and it could be a decent title race.
    But we aren't, so it isn't. It's a shame to see the title wrapped up before February is out.
    I think where we differ is over your perception of what I said to begin with, where I said they’ve been lucky you read it as they only were top due to luck

    Fair enough. You seemed to be they were just an ordinary side who were just getting lucky. I think they're a bit better than that.
    But they're not an exceptional side and they've certainly got lucky with injuries, at times with refereeing decisions and to be in a season where City fell off a cliff, Arsenal had a massive injury crisis and no-one else was stepping up and putting any pressure on. I'm not sure if Salah's form can be considered luck, he's an exceptional player. But him being at this level at his age is a bit unexpected and he's had no injury issues which at his age I guess is a bit lucky.

    In brief, first Covid Title and now this. Neither count
