    The timing for a British F1 title winner is always great. Just weeks before the SPOTY vote.

    Just going back to referees . . . . my mind may not be as sharp as it once was, but I seem to remember in the 2008 / 9 season (or maybe 2009 / 10), that we were doing quite well with refs and decisions, until Anfield away. That Dutch bloke - Kuyt I think - blatantly pushed Turner out of the way, twice, to allow Gerrard to score, twice, in one of our first crushing defeats. Brownie blows off at the ref and, I think is fined. After that, I seem to remember every 50 50 decison going against us in the games that followed - culminating in the worst refereeing I had seen @ Burnley away (so it may have been 2009/10)

    Ok, the facts may be a little skewed, but I do remember this quite clearly. The point being that Brucie should be a bit careful when being outspoken against referees because we know they are untouchable. Pawson and now Foy have indeed cost us 3+ points, but we dont want to be the team that doesnt get the 'rub of the green' from the refs.

    Maybe Bruce is more respected in Footballing circles than Brownie, but I would urge caution when being so blatantly outspoken.

    I don't have the answer in terms of what should be done to stop 'bigger' teams getting decisions, I just think that this is not going to do us any favours in the long run.

    It's a myth that it's just the big teams. We get **** refs at loads of away games, particularly ones at old-fashioned grounds where the fans are close to the pitch. I know I keep going on about it but it keeps happening at the same places for us. I wonder how many penalties Palace will get this year.

    It seems that Foy hasn't been allocated a game this weekend.

    He should join Pawson - Have the pair of them permanently expelled from PL duties for footballing incompetence.

    Keith Hackett just been on RH and said that Cahill's challenge on Aluko was a red card and of cause the dive was a yellow so he should have been off on both occasions.

    From Martin Samuel

    Saturday’s divers: a recap. Willian (Brazil), booked; Diego Costa (Spain), booked; Sebastien Pocognoli (Belgium), booked; Gary Cahill (England), ignored; Adam Johnson (England), awarded penalty.
    Nah. Probably just a coincidence.
