    I remember us discussing this subject a while back but nothing has changed.
    I think it is pretty widely known that the "bigger" clubs get the rub of the green - this has happened for years.
    But we seem to have been particularly badly treated over the last couple of years.
    Arsenal always get a ***** decision against us etc...I don't need to go through the games to produce evidence do I?
    But I have to go back a long way to highlight an important decision that went our way. Maybe the Vokes handball goal.
    We should now have an extra 4-6 points from our last three games. Instead of this we might actually kick off next Saturday in the bottom three.
    If it were simply due to bad refs then we would , statistically, have got a few decisions ourselves. We haven't, so you have to ask yourself why.
    I think we can put the 'conspiracy theory' to bed now, how Hendrick got away with that handball I'll never know, and then we get a pen straight away at the other end. Thank you Mr Referee. It's all gone quiet on the pens conspiracy as well now, in fact when you bear in mind that VAR overturned a pen the ref had awarded us against Barnsley, referees have awarded us four pens in our last seven games. Has any team in the country been awarded more than that ? I doubt it.

    Just confirms what I always thought, the penalty drought was a statistical anomaly, due to a combination of piss poor refereeing and the propensity of our team not to spend too much time in the opposition penalty area, and the anomaly is starting to even itself out now.

    Behave yourself sinkov! The foul on Barnes was identical to the one Taylor refused to award us last week and he got crucified for it. No way did Hendrick handle that ball , the referee was 100% correct on both counts.

    Incidentally, WTF is a "statistical anomaly?"

    Bloody hell BT, you're not supposed to ask that, how the feck would I know what a statistical anomaly is, why can't you just accept what I say like everyone else does ?
