Something's afoot.
Nobody is that unlucky.
From Aguero's preposterous first suspension on the eve of the derby, through the reporting of that game as if we'd somehow cheated and onwards, it continues...
The outrageous refereeing v Chelsea (not to mention Fabregas slapping a City player without any media comment or retrospective action from the FA).
Yesterday was an affront to sportsmanship. Sterling should have had a penalty, seconds later there was a clear foul on the halfway line and the ref shooed play on all the way to a well-executed Spurs goal. That was only the lowlight of a dreadfully incompetent/ malicious [delete as appropriate] refereeing performance.
If you want to argue that it's all coincidence, fair enough. Certainly, that's a far more rational perspective than breaking out the tin foil helmets. Thing is though, that as preposterous as it sounds, the evidence is beginning to mount that, for whatever reason, we just aren't getting a fair shake from the game's authorities or its commentators.
My original point remains, though: even fans of other clubs are cocking an eyebrow at the litany of injustices that we are suffering.
It stinks to high heaven. It actually does.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... we've got to consider the possibility that it might we be a duck.
