Thanks for the reply. I agree with what you wrote, but I wasn't talking about how fuel load are planned. I was talking about how much they actually blocked in with that day. If it's not near some min-fuel number, i.e some number that triggers low-fuel light, or some number that the airline publishes, or at least some number you can explain made it imperative to land, the crew might have a hard time.

I'm not going to pre-jusdge it one way or another. If they had an actual fuel emergency, they did a great job. If they had a wind problem, and they feared it would lead to a fuel emergency, then I am afraid they might come to regret the way in which they pulled the trigger.

Either way, they will most likely win. Either they already have, or it will take them... some period of time. It's all in the fuel record for that aircraft for that day.
