Lucky , lucky Cardiff?

You make your own luck.

Me and some mates like a game of poker every month. One of them has gained a bit of a reputation for being luckier than the rest of us. Its not that he has any more luck than the rest of us, it's because he puts himself in a position to appear to get more luck.
He's a good player but knows how to make the best of a good opportunity when it arises. The same I think applies to us at the moment.

I reckon bad luck outweighs good luck during my 63 years following the City…………I s’pose the majority of fans reckon that about their clubs though but the turnaround this season is something I feel us lot deserve.

Exactly.
No such thing as luck.

Some years ago, there was an experiment in a yank uni.
They asked students whether they felt they were generally lucky or unlucky, and split them into groups.
\they gave each student an identical task - to count the pictures in a newspaper.

However, one page was printed, in very large letters, with "show this page to the examiner and claim ten dollars" or something like that - but no picture.

Almost all the "lucky" ones claimed the money, almost all the "unlucky" ones didn't.
