So where does it leave us going forward. Referees giving every 50/50 ,call to us? VAR overuling every refs call against us and overturning his decision? In reality we can't win can we.

This was at the start of the month, situation hasn't improved.

That table is a pretty fair summary of team strengths.

There’ll be no apology and even if there was it won’t keep us up. The premier league works on a model of every teams side from the top 6 being routine relegated and promoted. Keep everyone hooked on the product of an immediate outcome keeping them interested and paying their tv money. Clubs stagnating in mid table for decades realising that there’s a glass door above them and becoming disinterested doesn’t drive revenue for them. They try their best to ensure these clubs get destabilised and go down. As soon as one shows weakness they’re straight into them with ridiculous refereeing hoping that they’ll catch them out and send them down.

We are one of the 6 teams that have never been relegated from the Premier League though. Over the duration of the Premier League we are clearly one of the top 6 sides.

We are not one of the top 6 they want. We create no revenue for them. They want controlled competition between the big six teams, and for everyone else to be routinely moved up and down.

Let the club deal with it now. No point us lot dwelling on it, it will only make us angry.

Onto Boreham Wood and then lets channel the anger into a GOOD away performance and get some points out of Spurs, its now or never, home or away it doesn't matter, we need to turn the results around no matter who we are playing.

About time .... and I suspect for once even the media are sympathetic (mainly because it also affected the rs).

Be fair man, Humous doesn't grow on trees.

Had to go look at chickpea plants after this post. Who knew?

Title should have read - Everton That - four bad Var decisions costing us points .....

This is absolutley key in this whole shitshow.

If that wasn't givin against any other club bar the rs, it would have already been yesterday's chip paper, but as it hurt the establishment club, we will get some traction on this.

Will also probably mean city might not get the 50/50 calls going forward?

I'm just glad the new gaffer and his team have got a bit it something about them and are willing to stand up for the club. Cole was great after the match.

We can, it's proven to work in the past for top clubs. The minute you make a huge issue about it, things seem to change.

If this complaint was last week, guaranteed we get that penalty, we will start getting the benefit of the doubt when such dubious decisions go against us.

Last thing they want is a team to feel hard done by and have a lot more ammunition afterwards.

I would love you to enlighten me with who these big 6 teams are and why they generate more revenue for the Premier League than us.

All we are asking for is fair and honest refereeing, might be a bit naive these days when being naive and honest is laughed at.

Cheats never prosper? You could have fooled me.

 

[Chegsy]

Good move but an apology won’t cut it. We could very well be in the bottom 3 if not tomorrow then by the weekend.

I think all we want is a level playing field. The likes of City and the other Sky 6 have all the money, have the best players etc.... they don't need ref's bending the rules in their favour as well.
