This is true on the surface, but they have had an unprecedented amount of luck.
- In 4 games, goalies have basically gifted them wins. That's 8 points.
- Milner 2 yards offside at West Ham - 1 more point
- Morrison's miss yesterday. They might have won anyway, but it could have gone down to the wire
- Variety of other ref gifts; e.g. Fulham at Anfield, soft penalties, refusal to give free kicks unless the opposition players are mugged.

I'd say that adds up to at least 10-12 points they should not have had. In fact the Expected Points analysis pretty much shows that. Without any of that, we are coasting to a repeat title.

I remember Pickford and Lloris , out of interest who were the other two keepers ?

Wow you’re busy.

Yes talking to people does take up a lot of my spare time.

Case in point, Robertson's man-handling of Sterling near the end of the Jan game

That was a stonewall pen. Right in front of where we sit. Much more contact than the Salah dive yesterday.

Speroni (twice in one game) and Rico.

of course, with our penalty record, the game prob still ends 2-1 :)

Speroni’s performance is easily the most dubious of the lot.

If there was a mechanism for fans petitioning for a match fixing investigation, I would have already filed the brief.

It's against the law pal since your lot caused reform at football matches for decent fans. It was Chelsea fans at Heysal, just because some fans say it was doesn't make it true. Mind you you haven't watched your lot since you stopped winning so it is understandable that you wouldn't know that. Like you can't throw things towards the pitch for example a flare. Clearly the buffoon couldn't keep his mouth shut or it would not have been a problem and even then he wouldn't leave. But then again it is the entitlement that you can do as you please without fear of repurcussion. What would have happened if it had escalated? Oh that's right it wouldn't have been his fault.

Did not know it was against the law, could you quote the actual law for my own information please.

Also the stonewall penalty that Spurs should have had at Wembley at the end of the game. For me that was the most ridiculous decision I’ve ever seen. If anyone has the ability to do a gif just to remind everyone
