So the patterns arent quite as selective. Agreed its not 100% each time every time but its a bit more than coincidence and it happens more than probability says it should.
Funny how that article doesn't include teams in the top 6. Almost as if, as they are better teams, they still win even after the 'curse'? Looking at it from that POV only states the bleeding obvious which is that teams towards the bottom go through differing runs of form and it's hard to keep that up over consecutive months.
Pep won MOTM 3 three times and won his next game. Perhaps this is just a statement of how good he is, because he's developed a resistance to these hexes.
Sean Dyche wins MOTM for March - beats Leicester 2-1 after.
Acknowledging we have a poor record against a team =/= some belief that supernatural forces or some silliness is making us not win those games. We should be beating them absolutely but we did not. Was it down to a very poor performance that the whole team should be ashamed of, or shall we instead just write it off and blame magic? Funnily enough the times we won at places we rarely win at was because we were
very good. Very good teams win football matches most of the time. Using our record as a poorer team shitting up the Championship has very little relevance to today. Plymouth won 1-0 at Molineux and we drew 2-2 away while they were relegated that year also. Must be evidence we are cursed against them too. But wait, Plymouth hadn't beaten us in their past 8 so this one is just bad luck instead of witchcraft on this occasion.
You didn't include November 2013 where we were in League One and won 3 games, how convenient. Again, if you look at this closely, you will notice that we were one of the better sides in that division that year and so won some matches.
The pattern isn't selective, you are. Better teams win more games. Look at the % of games a top 6 side wins after the award compared to the rest of the league and there is a massive gulf - because the former is a better side while the other was (most of the time) just on a good run of form that is quite often stopped when they play a side
from the top 6. Even the best sides lose sometimes to worse sides, its mostly a coincidence that this has some history. Problem is with how widespread and available stats are you can find some to back up any stupid preconceived notion that is held. We could lose to any team in this league and you could find something that 'explains' how it happened. There isn't much point in debating it really as you aren't going to try and think otherwise about it, you have form for it. In fact of the past 50 debates people have had with you on this topic you have changed your mind after none of them #bogeyside.
