Back in 2016, the then Executive Chairman of the PL said the following;

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ from the Premier League launch in Islington, north London, he said: "Without being disrespectful to any club, we have a strategic plan at the Premier League and the strategic plan says putting a new name on the trophy in every six-year period.

That doesn't mean we don't want any team to win it. It just means we would rather see some sort of rotation, for all neutrals in the game (what Leicester achieved) was a big moment."

Why has no journalist ever asked the obvious question, what’s the plan? Are we seeing it in full flow at the moment to engineer a title win for a new name.

Nobody can tell me that a majority of those decisions taken tonight weren’t with some plan in mind.

Don’t believe they can have a plan to engineer the winners it would involve too many people
What I do believe is there is a bias amongst officials and wether it’s conscious or unconscious I don’t know Having VAR and the ability to manipulate offsides, semi auto was just brought in to hide behind, like they did this evening and with the subjective nature of handball they can influence outcomes tonight was a classics example of not wanting to give City anything
 
The genius misses the fact it benefited Arsenal who have already won it 3 times without looking.

Newcastle were 1 point from the drop, they are hardly going to win it. No new name this season.

It was in the reply to the dippers letter, don’t worry fellah’s we will make sure city get fuck all decision wise in the next game, you go off and whack forest 3-0 …
Oops
 
It was never explained whether he meant a different team every six years, so Arsenal this season as City have won four and Liverpool one since Liverpool won their first PL in 2020, or an actual new winner as Leicester were in 2016.
He refers to Leicester thus implying a new winner, but there isn't a potential new winner currently in the Prem and we're at the end of a six year spell with only two winners.
Looks like there is only the famous Tarquin bottle job that can stop them.

I think you will find fans of different clubs will have an opinion on the worst var performance of all time.

And it will probably be one that affected their team:-)

It was also a mere puff.

The clubs never agreed to such a strategic plan as it never existed, but it is like City are becoming Victim FC.

The Foden challenge in the box definitely a pen,as for the offside goal,the line would have to perfectly vertical height wise should be in line and not two points joined together to give a decision

I remember getting riled about it, didn't realise how long ago. Basically, you play 38 games and whoever gets most points wins it. He should've been asked to explain or remain at home whilst someone cleared his desk for him. As usual, our blessed media failed to see the big picture.
 
Was on the Burnley match on Saturday. In the second half a Chelsea player pushed Maxim Esteve into the goal post, referee booked him, but no penalty awarded. As they lined up again exactly the same thing happened but no second yellow and again no penalty. Was too dispirited with score from Newcastle to watch MOTD so don't know if this was highlighted thought a definite penalty or sending off. Chelsea rough housed for 90 mins but went down like they'd been murdered every time they were tackled. Strait out of the Arsenal play book, looks like the prem wants a double London challenge this season.

It's as bent as fuck.
It's that bad it's not actually worth watching anymore.
I don't even get wound up about it now.

Clearly choreographed theatre now with the ability to manipulate situations and outcomes courtesy of VAR. The shrieking, shouting commentary, especially by that total prick who does the Sun 4.30 matches, is an indicative accompaniment.

After their first goal was allowed to stand yesterday, even that usually reliable option is being taken away...
