Plenty to back it up it's really not difficult. It would be time consuming to find historical examples but I will be happy to share as many links as you want from as many forums as you want during our game on Monday night?

You could just say you guessed fans of other clubs outside the top six think City are treated more favourably than United or Liverpool, and then we can agree to disagree and move on.

Absolutely, Sir. Bang on.This sportswashing thing has always aggravated me its a term invented to sound like arabs are in some way inherently corrupt and the usa and russia etc are in some ways bastions of fairness and moral superiority, most countries have their shady dealings and shame and most if not all have blood on their hands, sportswashing is complete bullshit and should be called out for what it is and the simple fact is that when you say a country is sportswashing you are saying money is okay as long as it doesnt come from arabs, its a nice term for racism and thats all it is.
Deal, OK I guessed.You could just say you guessed fans of other clubs outside the top six think City are treated more favourably than United or Liverpool, and then we can agree to disagree and move on.
Not really worth the effort probably.

You're absolutely right, just because the fans of the other 19 Premier League clubs are saying that referees are biased towards Liverpool this can't possibly be true if Liverpool fans themselves are saying the exact opposite.Fans but this is a manager?
It's an open conversation with Liverpool fans as well, they are just as convinced it's corrupt against them as you are that it's corrupt against us, the below isn't untypical.

After all, we know thatLiverpool fans, in their role as the most knowledgeable and passionate fans on the world, are the off the pitch reflection of their teams on the pitch spirit of fair play, honesty, humility and self-awareness.

We're especially big on Arsenal since they started looking like tittle challengers.

A simple yes or no follow up question for you then.But the fans of the other premier league clubs say it's bias towards us/United/Arsenal?

Do you think, in the Liverpool v Chelsea match last weekend, that the referee applied the Laws of the Game equally, fairly and correctly to the best of his ability and showed no indication of bias in his decision making towards either team?

This should probably go into the corruption in English football thread.
We now have an official openly telling a manager that incidents involving his time will be manipulated in a way not to his team’s favour. So the outcome of games will be corrupted
Of course you’d expect the governing body to be all over this investigating to ensure integrity etc. Especially after various other disclosures of this ilk involving referees, etc. Yeah, nothing. One can only Hope the independent regulator might be more inquisitive.
In the meantime, the question as to whether English football is corrupt is now definitively answered. Only questions now are who is involved and why

Yep, to suggest that there's summat untoward in the arbitration and governance of the national sport fits rather nicely with the FA rule about 'bringing the game into disrepute! Get yer hand in yer pocket, Chris, or dust off yer chequebook!It'll get him in front of a panel facing charges. They're not allowed to be honest.

I wouldn’t say we have an official ‘openly ‘ saying anything.
We do have a manager claiming that an unnamed official said something to him, in amongst a nonsensical rant that included disrespectful sandwich eating.
