It’s obvious IMO that Wright is expecting us to be shafted tonight ... It’s not just that Leicester are “major danger” from a player/tactics/sporting perspective. And probably that he believes the refs are so bad that there must be some collusion going on.
One day I bet a load of pundits will tell of their suspicions and say that they never came straight out to report it because they hardly believed their eyes. It’s the BBC way to wait till after the harm is done right?
I’m not a huge Shearer fan but he said something interesting after the game (he was in the studio with Owen Hargreaves for our coverage).
He was saying how incredible it was to win 13 straight, and dropped in a comment that when Liverpool went clear after we lost those matches it felt like ‘their year, with the decisions they were getting’
It’s probably as close as we’ll ever get to anyone in the media acknowledging what goes on.
