Such a bollocks statement, really. I wish people would stop using it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

It's pretty trite, but the basic sentiment is correct, IMO.

The team with the most points at the end deserves to win the league.

It's such a cliché thing to say.fecked up mentality for a fan of a club cause at the end of the day you want your team to go through (or to win) whether they deserve it or not

Not with fewer points than United they didn't.so by that logic pool deserved to win the league last year??
I understand the statement. In our case, if we don't win the league title you can point straight to the head-to-head results.

Is correct.The team with the most points at the end deserves to win the league.
But it is always especially disappointing to when you are beaten by your main title rivals.
It is not a question of deserving to win it, it is only a question of how easy it will be now to go on and win it. A draw would have made our lives a lot easier.

Honestly, if this squad goes onto win the Premiership, it will be a quite flattering on their part.
Fair play, nonetheless.

When the season is finished, all thats is really remembered is who lifts the trophy.
If Arsenal win the league this season, then they will deserve it, despite loosing to us twice and Chelsea twice.

Agreed Kouroux - deserving has nothing to do with it. A win is a win.

If we cant get more points than them over 38 games then the refs probably fecked us over.
If we cant get more points than them over 38 games and the refs for some reason changed the habit of a lifetime and didnt feck us over, THEN we dont deserve to win the league.

It's silly because you won't win all the games you deserve too and you won't lose all the games you deserve too...Since a league seasons over 38 games, pinpointing one result is just simplistic and dismissive
I remember when we lost the league to leeds. Our side was better then theirs though the league won't tell you that at the end. We had a messed up fixture pile up. It was too much for us and so another example of how things other then football can influence the outcome
It's then a test of the squad/endurance/dealing with injuries in a short space of time and the squad was smaller then. People say that though because it's a defensive 'stance' that means they don't have to think about it. They don't want to think about it.
It's like 'things even themselves up'. It's nonsense. No one actually keeps score....
