Because the refs are all the same. As soon as they get any glimmer of a chance to book a City player, they get an erection. I know some posters disregard this view that everyone is against us, but i'm telling you... everyone is against us! We are on our own here and we need the daddy of all siege mentalities to be successful. The refs are normal football fans at the end of the day, and they are not City fans. Find me a non-City fan that wants us to do well. There are none. Yes, they have a duty to be unbiased, but human nature dictates that they wont be.
