There is definitely something shifty going on this season, and the FA/PGMOL are up to their scrawny necks in it.
Pep has been lauded as on of the best club managers in the world, but this season he just hasn't been able to catch a break. It is as if the FA have that "who the f**k does he think he is?" attitude. "He comes over here and thinks he can win the best league in the World does he?". "We'll f**king show him who's boss". I'm not saying this league is easy, because it isn't, but with our Team, we should be at least clear and dry top 4 guaranteed by now.
Go back a couple of seasons, and before it was known that Pep had agreed to join is, it was quite possible that he could have gone to the Rag's or elsewhere. When it came out that he was going to join us it must have seriously pissed a lot of highly influential people off, not least Darth Gill of the Swamp. We all know just how long Gill's tentacles reach, and how much sway he has.
I really don't want to believe it, but with all the dodgy decisions against us this season I really can't see any other reason for it other than an agenda against our manager and club. We have been systematically robbed of goals, unfairly booked, and amongst other things, had opposition players go unpunished for clear foul play and it has been blatant.
I seriously hope the club are compiling a dossier of incidents an instances from this season alone because the evidence is stacking up.
