Being super fucking wasteful in front of goal with the boring robot Pep style that he's fond of...which also many times offered no real defensive cover, and featured a suddenly supershit keeper? Add into that some fucking weirdo lineups and you might definitely have a conspiracy on your hands i suppose.

I wonder which scenario is more likely to actually happen? Hmmmm.....thinking...thinking....

It's strange how even on a match to match basis, whenever the terrible officiating is brought up, it gets shot down as "making an excuse".

People seem to think the two issues are mutually exclusive. They aren't. There are issues with our play and there are bigger issues with officiating.

This is a discussion related to officiating, you don't need to choose which is the more likely.
They're both real issues.

I'm not trying to be daft, but..,

"Show me the money!"

Otherwise this is impossible to prove and lingers into the Loose Change/InfoWars-Alex Jones/Zeitgeist/Flat Earth type of analysis, which of course means it's practically impossible to have a reasonable argument often because most who believe in these things are already convinced of conspiracy before they learned of these "theories"/perspectives, and some of these things are impossible to disprove.

Without seeing the actual evidence and also testing similar statistical correlations against other cases and different variables we cannot get a sense of how valid, reliable and statistically significant these claims are.

I think UEFA is fucking crooked. No doubt they have invented rules like the new coefficient system to tackle anyone trying to break into elite.

HOWEVER there being some weird conspiracy among referees of the world to ruin us is just ridiculous. We hold the ball most in the league ---> we will get more calls for us than any other team --> they will get more calls wrong than for other teams. We've had some shocking refereeing this season no doubt and it has been unfortunate run but there is no conspiracy among referees.

Cheers.

Also good to see you Mike.

Now get off my cloud.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

In this day and age it's wise to question everything.
The book comes out in August. Hopefully there will be evidence contained within and not just speculation.
Hopefully this snippet of the first chapter revealed in the online blog is not just an advertisement and marketing ploy and it will actually put forward a convincing argument with hard evidence.

The bit I've read online does mention the targeting of City and Arsenal amongst others in the past. It didn't however exclude us from allegations of fixing. We are listed as having been involved in matches that they say are under suspicion.
Some we lost some we won.

Anyway. Far more interesting is the reincarnation of Doomie and what has happened to Gringo.

mate, mate, mate, mate....

you do realise that this book that john is quoting as gospel is a work of fiction don't you?

here's the author's profile.....

Ojo del Toro (1958-2041) was a founder member of the Infamous Wu Shu Hackers (IWSH) – the global cellular network established in 1995 to save football from the mafia.

Del Toro was initially a cosmologist who had been entirely unsuccessful in his quest to discover gravitational waves emanating from RS Canum Venaticorum binary systems.

Then All-Under-Heaven...

Professional gambler, hacker, whistleblower, del Toro was the cultural attache of La Brigade de la Surete cell of the IWSH based in Canberra, Kerkyra, Bucharest and Tiraspol. This cell exposed the full extent of calciopoli in Italy’s Serie A, the takeover of the England team by football agents, the MOBgate matchfixing scandal and the Leicester City Affair in the Premier League together with numerous other systemic criminalities throughout the sport while also highlighting hundreds of matchfixing events between 2006 and 2017 when the cell deconstructed itself as predicted.

After the death of football, del Toro put his whistle away.

He spent his later years becoming persuaded, and persuading others, that we have always lived in a multiverse.

His epitaph reads “The Revolution Sashays Up the Mall”.

As indeed it does.

Def legit as fuck.
This guy got me connected with my dead Nigerian uncle. I'm about to receive substantial inheritance, we are talking about millions here, so we'll see how is laughing then. All this for mere 20k for some things they have to sort in that end.

Ojo Del Toro, my personal hero.

It could be like an atomic bomb if all the corruption ever comes to light.
"Like all bullies, they've just found out that there is a much bigger guy in town, someone who is richer and more powerful than their worst nightmare. And this smiling Arabic assassin is intent on stealing all the treasures they've nicked off everyone else, and pulverising them into commercial and footballing oblivion as he does so."

It doesn't matter whether it's corruption for profit in general or corruption against City specifically - it's still CORRPUPTION - you'll all be talking about the merits of a shit flavoured ice cream compared to a piss flavoured one next.

Maybe you should spend more time on your punctuation homework instead.

The first rule of cuntism: If you're going to point out someone else's typo at least make sure you get your own posts spot on.
