Three of the four sides in the PL that play an attack based style of football. Coincidence?ref s have been very poor regarding us,liverpool and spurs, imo.
Not sure about Spurs, but the Mane sending off against....? Can’t remember off the top of my head, was blatantly the wrong decision. ;)
"The court in Berlin heard that Hoyzer awarded the regional league side Paderborn two penalties to help them come from two goals down to knock out first division Hamburg in the first round of the German Cup. He also sent off the Hamburg striker Emile Mpenza. "https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/nov/18/newsstory.sport4
The government followed up by passing match fixing laws.
games getting quicker and players cheat. My seat is really close to the pitch. I see some clashes and it's incredibly difficult to judge real time whether a player has been fouled particularly Sterling whose feet can be a blur. Every single decision from throw-ins to penalty shouts are contested. it's getting more difficult.Why do you think the referees have failed to deal with them? In full view of them or their assistants, but failed to make the correct decision. Too many to be mistakes.

There's probably an element of bias towards clubs like Utd - take for example the Valencia foul on Alli which was as clear a penalty as you will ever get - but I don't think this season is any worse for us in terms of refereeing than before. Remember the season when we won the title and the problems we had with Balotelli and Kompany and Man Utd getting every decision going? We've gone through a period where we have lost players to injury through bad tackles but I can not say that this season we have faced any concerted attempt to injure our players. I don't think Guardiola has said that either. He's just made his feelings known about some individual challenges.
Your wasting your time , he refuses to see what we all can see, it must make him feel safer.If referees are dishing out yellow cards for these challenges, it should be because they have seen the foul and are sure of the action that needs to be taken. De Bruyne is quoted as saying that Madley told him McClean didn't get enough on him to give a red, yet the intention was clear for all to see, a studs up lunge from behind that only luck prevented serious injury. Madley admitted to Kev that if he actually caught him it would have been red, yet a red can and should be given for wreckless intent.
