Corruption or big team bias

[PITA]

I'd imagine statistically the 'close' offside decisions are pretty non-conclusive given that the red card and penalties argument was utter nonsense when the facts were actually looked at.

Not sure what you're getting at but the Haaland offside was, as I stated, a poor example. A better one to help your argument would have been the Henderson winner in the derby that 'might' have been 2 millimetres offside.

OK thanks for that. We can add that to the red cards, penalties and now borderline offsides where the conspiracies don't actually match the reality.

Howard Webb- manures 12th man, corrupt to the gills- is the chief ref. Any expectations of the refs to be impartial and fair was out the window a long time ago, having that charlatan as the main man just proves it.

Who was the ref today? Howard Webb meant to be improving the standard of referees, I don’t think I’ve seen a worse ref than today.

His name escapes me mate, but yes, he was terrible.

He was bad, but the ref against Chelsea was far worse.

I'm not even sure it's a 'big team' bias, it is a bias against a style of play. If we played with a swagger more often, and played in a style that is exciting and promotes the Premier League, we would get more decisions going our way. Watch any 'flair' players, they're a protected species. As soon as you go near them you're penalised.
