Official Football Karma thread

I'll go first. Football lore has it that, on 16th May 1999, Sir Alex muttered just three words in his pre-match talk on the final day.

"Lads. It's Tottenham"

26 years on, they could be the team that ends Man Utd.

Any other examples - past/present/future?

Ends United after how many trophies? I think there's better out there right?

Slippy, of all people, costing Liverpool the league, in the manner he did so as well, was something you couldn't have scripted it was too perfect. Will forever haunt him and chance of redemption was snuffed out when he and his Villa side bottled being 2-0 up with ten minutes left at the Ethiad a few years ago. He wouldn't even do his post-match duties he was so distraught.

Kenwright controlling the narrative for years about his dissenters, via shameless lies and false victimhood, only to roll the dice one too many times and see his true colours finally exposed to the masses. Reputation shredded beyond all repair, too cowardly to return to Goodison, going to his grave before he got to cut the ribbon for Bramley Moore. That's ultimate football karma for me.
