    .....generally speaking I know that no team has been in bad form and won the play offs. Why? Because I follow the league Neutral... Either they are solid throughout and finish 3rd or they climb up right at the end. If you need "evidence" then go and check yourself.
    Why would I? I don't follow the League. Perhaps some teams tire towards the end of the season, attributing it to psychology is just bullshit though, unfortunately it's become very popular bullshit. That surprises me very much, as most 'experts' who talk about psychology had no qualifications in that area.

    It's not really psychology. In the Championship there are 46 games....not many teams will be consistent.

    Example....in 07/08 Watford had just come down and in the first part of the season we were 8 points ahead in the league....everyone had us down as dead certs to win. In 08 cue absolutely shit form and only just scrape 6th because we had 1 better goal difference. Who goes and wins?....Hull who were in really good form at the end of the season, climbing up to 3rd.

    The season is long....those who are in the best form coming up to the play offs are most likely to do well. Never seen a team in poor form win the play offs.

    No, but isn't it common sense? I'm sure you've experienced it yourself, the fact that you are winning puts you in a good mindset and boosts confidence.

    Yeah, it makes you happy and confident, but who says that makes you more likely to win? If it does make you more likely to win, why would that suddenly switch off simply because you're playing a team whose stadium is close to your own? It's bollocks, the big games simply have more focus on them, so it becomes more obvious that form has little effect in those games.

    It is called the self fulfilling prophecy, and it isn't the most complex concept to understand.

    The American post game coverage had a few major gaffes but the pregame coverage was rather good. Rob Stone mentioned twice the league as being the "British Premier League" and Eric Wynalda mentioned that Manchester was starting to run away from London in the league. If you look at the table that is somewhat true but that sounded rather awkward to me.

    Post hoc ergo propter hoc. I doubt he actually believes that Manchester United win because of what he does though.

    No, it isn't. It wasn't even that bad today, especially as we were playing with makeshift fullbacks and a substitute centre back. Djourou was the only Arsenal defender who was shambolic.

    nah It was, I was pausing & rewinding the whole game Laughing it was terrible - high line, holes everywhere.

    Stuart Robson was commentating and he always brings it up.

    for example when Welbeck got through (when Per cleared off the line) - Koscielny didn't even think to cover - little things like that.

    Oxlade, Rosicky, Mertacker and Kos were all amazing.Why did Wenger substitute Ox off for Arshavin? His poor defending also let in Valencia far to easily.

    Anyways people doubted Oxlade saying he is not ready or Walcott is better but look, everytime he has been given teh chance eh has looked out best winger.
