While I do think we suffer some bias and teams like Liverpool and United do get much more favourable refereeing I think at this point we can admit that if the referees were truly desperate to cost us the title they could have stopped us winning 14 in a row. It doesn't take that many dodgy decisions to change an outcome, as we've previously seen.You tried your best you cnuts.
Whether it was awarding Liverpool penalties for blatant diving, allowing clear offside goals or denying us clear cut penalties and judging every slight nudge as a foul one way and ridiculous tackles not given the other way you can all go fuck yourself you corrupt set of twats.
Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oliver can't have been too bad, as there are only a few posts commenting on him. I thought he was OK, with nothing really to be alarmed at. It wasn't a dirty game, and they didn't get near our box that often.
Regarding referees blocking our passing lines, they are a legitimate part of the game. It is up to us to take their positions into account during play, and arrange our play accordingly. They are under no obligation to move out of the way. They generally patrol the same diagonal, to get a good view of play, and position themselves to be able to react to the ball moving in either direction up or down the pitch. Our players should know where they are, and should be able to adjust accordingly. I don't think they deliberately try to disrupt our patterns of play.
...and whilst at it how many non-pens they were awarded?Has anyone actually analysed how many offside goals Liverpool were awarded this season compared to other teams?
They tried their best and failed, just like we did against Wolves (due to an offside handball goal), they also allowed 12/13 Liverpool offside goals at last count. To coin your phrase I think at this point we can admit that if referees were truly desperate to facilitate a fair competition they could have stopped one of those 12/13 goals.While I do think we suffer some bias and teams like Liverpool and United do get much more favourable refereeing I think at this point we can admit that if the referees were truly desperate to cost us the title they could have stopped us winning 14 in a row.

Every bit as insightful as your post.Thanks for your insightful contribution to the discussion.
And not only this, but how their forward 3 consistently leave something on the defender when pressing, without any fouls given, but then a defender blows on them and they turn into Tom Daley and almost always won the foul...and whilst at it how many non-pens they were awarded?
His marking of our players was pretty good I thought, almost tackled David at one point.He was shite actually, but fortunately there weren't too many contentious decisions! He did give them what he could...
