We’ve been terrible this season and plagued by injuries. Yet arguably we could be leading the way if not for the ridiculously harsh refereeing
4 points extra against Brighton
1 point extra against Bournemouth
2 points extra against Liverpool
2 points extra against Man City
2 points extra against Villa
Fair, but chop in half because I'm sure we had a few go our way too. Even so, the refs have had a big influence on the way the table looks. What I'd like to see is a comparison of gambling patterns and the table over the last few seasons. Has anyone ever done something like that, given we have stats for everything else these days. And surely it should be something the officials keep a careful eye on anyway?Originally Posted by HCZ_Reborn

I didn't see it but even so, judging on one game would be too much anyway.
At most the only decision I would say has gone our way was the non corner that we had at home to Spurs. If it all balanced out, or if we had anything approaching half the favourable decisions other teams get against us I might cut that in half.
I mean even if you cut it half, there's the 6 point gap. And our recent form is similar, our defensive record similar, it's just that bloody obvious elephant stampeding and shitting around the place, the lack of a striker so our goals scored could be similar.
Not that anyone is going to do a damn thing about these refs, so we need to accept we'll always have to get more points than most other teams just to stay level.

He failed this time though, well done the lads
We HAVE to appeal that and demand that c*** never refs any of our games again
Yes I was underwhelmed tbh, I also think he showed a bit of petulance that Arteta in particular wouldn't get on with
Arsenal vs City on the 2nd Feb - wonder if city's favourite boy will be reffing it? Maybe not now, surely that would be a bit too obvious even for them. Will have to be backup Taylor then I guess.Me

The thing that baffles me the most is not the MLS red card (although Oliver should be sacked and the PGMOL disbanded) but the justification for the red card was serious foul play. This was upheld by VAR yet int rh same game, Gomes gets a yellow for what is arguably a worse foul and way above the ankle, which is what they used to justify MLS red card, yet neither Oliver or VAR decide to issue a red. They just make it up
I'll tell you one thing, the crowd will be so up for it, we've all the proof we need that we're not just playing Man City but the whole fucking system, the Emirates is all we've got to fight back with, can't wait
