True mate, i believe all refs are against us (including UEFA ones) but the colour of our shirt is a massive advantage. Imagine how well City, Chelsea and Leicester would have done in the last few years with a simple change of kit
It's a fact that we just don't get the soft penalties that follow other clubs around, and yet Son, Kane and Dele are portrayed as serial divers and we all recall the fact that once Bale acquired that reputation in his first spell with the club the opposition were allowed to virtually cut him in half without fear of retribution from the referee.and don't expect that to change now he is back. I wonder what % of our penalties in the last few years have been against the goons as the Emirates is one ground where we have had a couple awarded!
People repeat the opinion that the earth is flat or vaccines cause autism That doesn't make the opinions correct, it means weak-minded people repeat anything that confirms their ignorant biases
Who can remember the AVB season when we went a whole season without being given a single penalty kick, this despite our players regularly being unceremoniously scythed down in the penalty area. The referees obviously had some kind of agenda against our players as they jumped on board the `Spurs players dive` narrative, and some of this still lingers to this day. There is more chance of shieting in the Queen`s handbag than Pool or United going a whole season without a penalty kick.
Remember how the Nomads were tweeting about "Kane penalty bingo" last season, because they're convinced we keep getting soft pens against them? That's a big part of the problem, because rival fans have a collective Mandela Effect and think we get penalties all the time, or they bring up members of our current team like Klinsmann or Ginola to say there's a reason we don't have grounds to complain, no doubt getting their excuses in early in case our annual penalty is awarded against them
I feel like we should add Balotelli's slogan to our kits: please log in to view this image It would look ridiculous, but it would match the decisions.
We should've had three against them when we drew 0-0 in that season at Wembley, too. Manchester Mike Dean says no.
The often repeated argument is the teams who get awarded the penalties are the teams who spend more time in the opposition's box. How did that go against Newcastle? How many touches were there in their box compared to ours? All our claims for stupid handball were turned down.
The teams that get penalties (not awarded or given) are the one's who the opposition panic most against and perform stupid tackles or handballs.
Because Vardy goes down easier than almost anybody in the game - but for some reason he is completely untouchable in the media everyone loves him and 'his story' and he is' clever around the box' - he has come up from non league you know he would never dive
Actually in 2015-16 the hack cognitive dissonance was a joy to behold when Vardy got sent off for clocking up yellows in a game for diving in that game against the Spanners. Do we call him a cheat, and if so will his game bans mean that the Lesta fairy tale narrative will now collapse as no Vardyball allows those nasty Spurs to catch them ??
I remember various "neutrals" howling that he got sent off due to bad a refereeing call No, he got sent off because of a couple of good ones - for a change
Just in case some Skyte Sports pundit tries to say we got five penalties this season, this evening doesn't count...
