Talking of naivety, what happened in 11/12 and 13/14, was that incompetent corruption or were our titles as bent as a 9-bob note too? Before you start, I'm not saying there's no corruption in the game but if it's as deep-seated and targeted as you seem to think then you surely have to be questioning our title wins?Lol.so naive its untrue..lol
Please point us in the direction of a couple of dozen dodgy penalty incidents or offside goals in our favour from those seasons and we might start questioning those title wins.Talking of naivety, what happened in 11/12 and 13/14, was that incompetent corruption or were our titles as bent as a 9-bob note too?

You missed the point entirely, some posters are clearly implying that the corruption is a well-organised targeted conspiracy including not just officials but the whole PL hierarchy, so how come were "allowed" to win two titles, especially as the margin of our victory in 2012 was so narrow that a single dodgy decision could have taken it away from us in that final match.Please point us in the direction of a couple of dozen dodgy penalty incidents or offside goals in our favour from those seasons and we might start questioning those title wins.
Football in this country has had individual instances of corruption ever since it went professional and probably before that, and if someone comes up with the kind of hard evidence that nailed Calciopoli as an example of systemic organised corruption I'll happily accept it but some dodgy decisions in the rags favour or against us are not going to convince me - they've been happening for as long as I can remember, right back to the 60s.Premiership is the most cash rich league. Corruption usually follows cash. Look at how Juve dominated for years and then it turned out that the chairman was bribing the refs to bend the rules so their competitors would struggle & important players were sent off just before they played Juve.
Lol.so naive its untrue..lol
Wrong, the rags have benefited big style from goals being given to them that shouldn't, and goals being disallowed against them that should of stood.... keep your head in the sand though, if it makes you feel better

That so called "corruption" is OK as it went in our favour.
