Referees/Officials

Ok so it is bent then. That's also a nice thought and I'd like to agree if you could provide some evidence? The total inconsistency of it all leads me to believe they're just crap. Whether we like to admit or not we also get bad decisions in our favour. Except against Liverpool. And never from Clattenburg.
What has gone in our favour ?
 
The standard of refereeing in the PL is actually disgraceful. Contrary to what many believe I don't think they're bent or biased. Just plain shite. Our game is awash with cash we should cast our net far and wide, pay them multiple times what they now earn, give ex players etc a reason to want the job.
Refereeing standard in CL/EL makes ours look embarrassing.

This is pretty much how I see it too. Fans of every team are awash with tales of how refs screw them over (even rag fans think they get short shrift ffs which is ludicrous) but I think these prem refs are simply just shite.

Too much money knocking around the league for these constant fuck ups, sooner video technology is introduced, the better, I couldn't give a fuck how long it adds to a game.
 
While I suspect that the referees don't deliberately cheat on the field the general hostility aimed at us in the media obviously influences them subconsciously. Just too many poor decisions against us. What also irks me is the fact that no matter who were playing we always tot up more fouls and bookings than the opposition. Which considering we almost always have 65% possession is ridiculous.

Midway through that 2nd half today we had been blown for 13 fouls whilst liverpool only 4!

They could have had a 2 penalties. Yaya's lunge was a penalty whereas the Clichy penalty wasn't. There are various others, there's really no point going through a full list. My point is they're shite not bent.
If you think they're all bent why bother at all?
If it was substantially proven tomorrow that the majority of refs were biased against us or that games were fixed would you even bother watching?
 
Some you win some you lose. Who would be a ref or a linesman ? Every man and his dog are.on there case
