You put it very well - I am guessing Diego will either ignore or pass off with a lame joke.
The interesting thing to me is why. None of us really believe they are paying off of refs - even though it really, really looks like it sometimes - so there must be an inbuilt, involuntary deference to Utd and I would suggest Liverpool. Possibly to any team in the premier league that wears red. The sooner this is more widely discussed, the sooner referees can hopefully start to address it. I am in the unintentional camp, I hope that is the case.

I didn't think that they were bent, until this season and the introduction of VAR. I thought that they were just ****.
They've gone out of their way to **** it up, changing it immediately and getting obvious, blatant decisions wrong repeatedly.
The day when there were three games and all of them contained an incorrect penalty call was just silly.

Realising that we've never had a penalty against Man Utd in the Premier League was a bit of a smack in the face, too.
Not just because that's bloody ridiculous, but because the stat obsessed pundits never mention it.
Nobody at Sky, who point out random, stupid **** about every game, has ever thought of it? Yeah, alright...

Just thought that was worth repeating. As you are so right. They mention totally ludicrous coincidences ("and Stoke have never been beaten away on a Tuesday night when a repeat of Dad's Army is on the TV...") but they don't mention something like that... which might just be more than a coincidence.

Ah, the booby-trap of "free transfers" . :)

I am trying to think of any player signed so, who is then sold off
for a decent transfer fee if it does not work out at the club.

Whilst technically for some of these not free but signed for a tribunal fee

Solanke to Pool
Ings to Pool
Pogba to juve
Can to Pool
Llorente to swansea
 
The media will never criticize Pool or dare to expose their enjoyment of beneficial refereeing etc, they put a positive spin on all things Pool at all times. It is all part of the master plan to influence perception around Pool and to give them the best possible chance to be successful. Talk about something often enough, and shove it down people`s throats often enough, and eventually people start to believe it, whether it is true or not, which creates a positive perception.

Ah, so you don't listen to Talk Sport? Probably a good thing, because as they never criticise Pool and only heap massive praise on the team, it might cause some Pool supporters to become a bit too big for their boots.

i've listened to their match commentaries occasionally but nowt else but more to the point your reply doesn't contain anything about transfer policy which is what you posted about .
