That doesn't surprise me,it's human nature to love the underdog story and refs are humans, allegedly

The penalty they got at Villa was very soft whilst Huth wrestled the Villa player to the ground with no action taken

Huth gets away with a lot more than our players do.It's a shame not all teams are treated the same,the results would be very different

If the refs had applied the laws of the game correctly we would have

• Drawn at Arsenal, taking two points off them and adding one to ours
• Won at Leicester , taking a point off them adding two to us
• Won at home to Everton, giving us an additional two points

We would now be top of the league three points clear of Leceister and seven clear of the champions elect.

yeah but tbh if we would had got all those penalties there was no certitude that our players won't miss them...

I know Andy Garratt and he has a few refs he doesn't like working with because they are incompetent,my lips are sealed though

With refs not giving them in the first place we have no chance of scoring them
And with Yaya and kun on the field at the time I think I'd fancy their chances over Kolarov and Bony
