Why would that happen? You seem to want to stand by a slightly vague narrative that you are maybe getting cheated...but don't want to admit to the fact that it is actually happening?Not saying they receive brown envelopes but they are awarded the bigger fixtures and go up the ladder.
Nothing vague about it mate. We have won our titles despite referees and not because of. I travel to every away match in this country and go in a lot of home pubs (even the arkles prior to the bus wrecking) and I can assure you, the whole country sees what is going on.Why would that happen?

Either we are getting help from the officials and powers that be or we aren't. I don't see how you can look at it any other way?
Of course you have had favours for years, referees do cheat. Simple as that. There are rumours a certain Merseyside referee is dodgy as fuck and was a member of a betting syndicate (only horse betting of course LOL) and was excluded by UEFA. If it’s any consolation, you can’t claim to be number one in the pecking order, that honour goes to the Trafford mob. City have been awarded a grand total of one penalty against them in the 30 year Premier League years and never one at Old Trafford. They have had basically one every other match against us.Why would that happen?

You are getting help through media furore, or should I say lack of it.Why would that happen? You seem to want to stand by a slightly vague narrative that you are maybe getting cheated...but don't want to admit to the fact that it is actually happening?

The Rodri sleeve ball claim at the Toffees is a classic example. There is so much highlighted online and in the media to whip up a fan frenzy.
It is whipped up against City cos that sells clicks and chip wrappers.
The multiple red card challenges that Fabinho has put in against City players, and others in the league, only to get away without even a caution is the giant elephant in the room.
A referee who awards against the red tops in a big game, especially a contentious decision, will have to face a barrage of media scrutiny.
Pigmol don't like that, so they protect themselves by not poking the hornets nest.
So yes, the refs are biased, because career-wise they have to be.
And don't even get me started on milners challenges in our games against Liverpool.
The home conceded red cards and penalties is also a red flag.
Some money left from that McManamannamananaman money£60m and £35m initial for that Argentina kid.
that Coutinho money never runs out!

Ok, so if this stuff is going on, why is it going on?Funny how the punched clearance by Skrtel, the dodgy Fat Phil penalty at Anfield, Suarez' dive when dives were a definite yellow card, Milner's three red cards the the season of that infamous Rodri handball, etc etc are NEVER EVER MENTIONED when it comes round to City / Dipper matches. Any chance of a little evening up this season, maybe even in lieu of the goal we had ruled last year for that practically non contact foul last season? I'll try not to mention Alf Gray or George Courtney.
Ok. That’s at least a plausible theory.You are getting help through media furore, or should I say lack of it.
