Yep granted they are good, we can see that- but still no one ever gets their share of good fortune. You only have to look at the Rankings in the 2 CL seasons they reached the final/won. They fluked their way from Pot 3 as 22nd best team on Rankings) into a group with lowest ranked opponents from each of the other Pots (Sevilla, Some farmers from Slovenia) and scraped out of the group stage and got an easy ride to the final in the first season before Ramos and Bale sorted them out. Then they miracled their way into Pot 2 thanks to about 5 underdog wins by other teams in the qualifiers and followed it up with a load of teams falling apart (I'll give them the Barca 4-0 comeback).. Spurs!! Yeah right, lads, It's Spurs, and, if they needed it, a gift of a penalty in the 2nd minute that only they would be awarded thanks to a fluke armball that "hit the hand". Not only was it scarcely a penalty but how many of those get given in the opening moments?
And, just for good measure, who could forget Gerrard's Tom Daley impression that helped them scrape into the next stage, the dubious peno in the comeback in 2005, The Ghost Goal v Chelsea. The Rule Changes for 2006.
So when one little "slip" comes along it's barely compensation for all their good luck and kind refereeing calls.
