After Sunday I am more convinced than ever before that the refs are told the script before the game.Which makes our trophy count since the takeover even more impressive all won in spite of the cunts doing their best to stop us. Am I convinced that corruption is rife in our league you fuckin bet I am.
Quite a few have been saying the same mate. And you're right, it's amazing that we've come through such adversity. Take our 1st PL title, what a season it was, but when you look at the way it was refereed, you could even say it was engineered. We were flying, then pegged back by some inexplicable decisions in, and after the Chelsea game. Around the same time the Rags then seemed to get every decision go for them, or that's how it felt. Only after Mancini and Vieira came out and openly questioned the refereeing of both teams, did we see an even split, but even then we had to play, and win, against the twelfth man.
When I look back at that season it makes me proud of what we achieved, even more than i did at the time. Coming back from where we were, against all the odds, and against the establishment, was an accomplishment that not many could have foreseen.
