The posts on the Huddersfield fans reasons for their defeat (chiefly the ball not being in the quadrant and Kane's alleged foul throw) has got me thinking. What is the most bizarre excuse you can recall hearing for a defeat? I seem to recall a manager blaming a defeat on the grass being too long (think that might have been Mouriniho).
Thank God you've fessed up. All these years I thought that was my fault for wishing the game would just end and we could get out of London as we were being chased by the Transport Police (one of the lads had bought us all some forged train tickets)
My mum blames every defeat on Matt Bailey mentioning stats during his commentary. Sadly, Matt doesn't get any credit when we win. I remember Neil Harris blaming us for Millwall's defeat to us a few years ago, on us not doing what he wanted us to, from set pieces. I believe we scored all 3 of our goals from corners and free kicks. And in his post match interview, he said words to the effect of, they didn't do as we had planned from corners.
