How corrupt is football?

[Toffe3m4n]

Corruption exists at the top level everywhere. You're a fool if you don't think it exists in professional football, England included.

 

[Tipp blue]

For the VAR conspiracy theorists.

Most VAR decisions in favour: Man United 10
Most net: Man United 8
Most disallowed for opposition: Man United 7
Most subjective in favour: Crystal Palace, Man United 6
Highest net goals: Man United +7
Highest net subjective score: Man United +5

*This is to go along with their 18 penalties for and 1 against this season*

Have they really had 18 penalties? That's 1 every 2 games.. can't be right that.

Same with PEDs imo.

Absolutely corrupt, just heard about bruno Fernandes. Ever since Richarlison got sent off for the slightest of movements with his forehead, kolasinic has done it for arsenal, a spurs player did it and now another player from the top 6 and our player is the only one to be sent off for identical circumstances. What is the point anymore?

If the tally of 18 penalties is true I'm guessing the amount includes cup games and Europe. Probably around 50 games?

Hate to rain on your parade HH, but it’s actually 19 penalties.

No parade again for us this season.
19 penalties will work out to be roughly 1 in 3 games. Still a massive amount.

Absolutely.

Don’t tell me the game ain’t fixed when penalties plus the overall “favours” they’ve had, like our goal, the potential penalty against your lot, the blatant Crystal Penalty.

Fact is, Premier League is more sellable when United are at the top. They’ve got their Top 4 teams they want, if Spurs can stick around they’ll like it even more, but if not, United are back again.

19 penalties would take us about 12 years to accrue.

If the league could have completely their way they’d uave United Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal in a top 4 every season. As it is City and Spurs have upset that somewhat annoyingly with their small number of local fans rather than click bait cult members that follow the others. United and Liverpool are the cash cows though. I can’t believe how anyone believes it’s a level playing field. Mendes literally had the ball in the back of the net against United and it was waved away whilst VAR may as well have been LFCTV this season such was the unbelievable bias. The game is corrupt and just watch the refereeing decisions in the United Leicester game coming up. Leicester will have to be very very good to win it whereas U tied will just have to be not terrible. That’s the difference .

Whilst you’re slightly disagreeing, I think the more “big” teams who are sellable the happier they are.

The decisions United get are ridiculous. Sheffield Utd or Leicester aren’t any good for them.

Made a little one word wikipedia edit the other day.
Lasted less than 24 hours before they reverted it and I got a message warning me about unconstructive edits and vandalism.

If C.A. starts playing more attacking football it will only take 5 years

I'd agree with that apart from them having the top 4 they want. They clearly don't want City there. As long as Liverpool*, arsenal and the rags are there, they aint bothered who is 4th as long as it's Chelsea or Spurs.
