Fake Champions, assisted by the PL and PGMOL. Every fan of other clubs know it, we know it.
Its the most rigged title since the Rag days where Ferguson had the refs and PGMOL in his pocket.
Both times the Dippers beat us to the title it was fair play, they were the better team and deserved it, esp the year where their front 3 scored almost 100 goals between them.
I dont know if jts the 115, or Masters comments, but this season, although we have been poor at times and not helped ourselves with shocking finishing and utter incompetence at set pieces, i feel we have lost out simply due to officiating as jts been blatant in favour of Arsenal since game 1 when they fouled the Rags keeper to score the winner from a corner to how they have avoided so many red cards, not had any penalties awarded against them and baffling decisions in their favour.
And the officiating we receive most weeks, fouls on us unpunished, opposition falling to the floor= instant free kicks, reds avoided for oppositions, Haaland having different rules applied to him every week re holding and fouling. Even last night with the linesman flagging in an instant and ignoring the rules of letting play continue for Var to check if it leads to a goal yet letting play out for them before flagging.
I mean, look at Darren England alone.
1) Failed to send Gabriel v Newcastle for the clearest red card you'll ever see, punching the Newcastle striker. then a clear hand ball for a penalty ignored and then scores the winner.
2) Fails to award Chelsea 2 of the clearest penalties you'll ever see in thier 2-1 win
3) Ignores 3 blatant penalties on us v Forest in our 2-2 draw
4_ The West Ham debacle where he ignored actual footage as 3-5 Arsenal fouls before the keeper was touched (and this due to Trossard holding and looking the opposite direction of the ball) and try to say the keeper was the 1st foul.
That's an 8 point swing to Arsenal and don't get me going on the other issues Gbriels headbut, the constant fouling at Corners allowed, the Everton and Brighton non penalties up to thier last game when again they avoided clear cards inc a red and Trossard not even booked for shoving a player to the floor.
No doubt there will be stat paddling now it doesn't matter next weekend and expect Palace to get a penalty but despite a great season for us in a transitional year, with 2 cups and a 2nd place, losing the title to the sheer corruption that is PGMOL is annoying.
