Anyone who's worked with data will know that oddities like this can occur.
However, when you consider that over the last 5 seasons we've posted a wining average of around 56%, 7% does seem freakishly low.
It is my belief that someone within the FA, in conjunction with the Referees Association, needs to take a closer look at this.
To ascertain whether there is a bias, either conscious or unconscious on referee Mike Dean's part and if so, take the necessary steps to ensure that he is killed wih fire.
It's weird isn't it? We've hardly ever won games with him in charge since 2008 (games which have almost all been against the top clubs who we've been struggling to compete with)
Before that we almost always won when he was in charge (when we were a far better side and they were generally games against worse sides as he wasn't then being put in charge of bigger games)

Funny that.
Why all the talk about the ref?? He got every decision right!
Our record of winning with Alan Parry commentating is far more pertinent I feel.
I have forgive Arsenal and Wenger many things but making Zimm and me agree with each other.
Fun you, Arsene. Fun you to Heck![]()
