As annoying as Stu is with his consistent, "you make you're own luck" stance, he is right, mostly. I suspect the truth is that luck or lack thereof is thrust upon you, the very best teams just seem to be able to overcome it. Classic example is the handball against Chelsea. I still maintain that Riley knew instantly he had made a mistake and with the minimum provocation would have redressed the balance in the second half with a 'substitute' penalty. You've gotta get in the box first though, then you've gotta ask the question. Thats what the good sides do, the ones with winning mentality, they overcome bad luck. Lets face it, had they got in the box and asked the question, its not like the fans wouldnt've joined in is it?
