Is there going to be any game between now and the end of the season when the rags dont get a helping hand from the man in black? If anything sums up the difference between us and the rags you can see it in the decision that the rags got today for the penalty. Ashley young who had already proven to dive the previous week goes down to minimal contact. If anything the villa player was doing everything possible not to touch the cheating rag b*stard. Contrast that with teves who gets booked for what arguably was a stonewall pen.
As usual this is the first goal to help relieve the pressure and not one awarded after they are already one or two up.
I think since the stoke game back at the end of jan the rags have had a major decision/s in their favour in 9 of the last 12 fixtures.
Stoke - two penalties
Chelsea - two penalties
Spurs - disallowed goal would have put spurs 1-0 up
West brom - man sent off
Wolves - man sent off, wolves penalty appeal at nil nil turned down (more blatant than any of A Young)
Fulham - blatant last min penalty turned down
QPR - offside in run up to penalty and man sent off
Wigan - perfectly good goal disallowed
Aston Villa - dodgy penalty to give the rags the lead
Now please dont tell me that things even themselves up over a season, this is just the last 12 games. Is it any wonder that the rags have eaten away our lead?
Conversely in the same period of games we have had a number of decisions that have gone against us . God knows what more 'evidence' people need to be convinced that this is just not right. This is not just a case of refs making the odd mistake that affects all teams this is continual and barely disguised bias persistently and consistently.
How anyone can try and make out this is just the normal chain of events with refereeing decisions going for or against all sides is beyond me. This is not normal, it stinks.
Try and find a similar list of decisions in favour of any other team, not only that there have been very few if any decisions going against the rags. Oh but what about Newcastle........
