If you want further proof of ref bias

For every decision that is going against one team, isn't it more often than not, therefore going FOR the other ?

Yes, and this study takes that into account.

And that means what exactly? we are talking about the differing in regularity between decisions going for or against particular teams

but surely the bad descsions will end soon. who do we have next in the prem? oh......

Pathetic argument, pathetic manager, pathetic club.

Arsenal are a busted flush, simple as, no conspiracy, you've just not got any good players left.

I'm sorry but the article is useless. It cannot and does not take into account all desicions and therefore cannot give a true reflection (penalty calls etc). It also only focuses on the top 4. How do we know you wouldn't have been caught by a team outide of the top 4.

Yes it does. You should read it.

No, it doesn't. You should read it.

To all those defending what seems to be a study with at least an attempt at accuracy and fairness - you're wasting your breath trying.

It's just become too easy and comfortable for supporters to parrot the anti-club angst they've read in the red-tops or online. That way, if they despise the manager and push for him to be changed, they can ignore the fact that Arsenal are not one of the PL elite anymore.

Then the replacement manager fails, as does another one, and another. Rinse, wash, repeat.

The story of football supporters down the ages.

Sorry what I meant was, it does not take into account every single decision. Small decisions change games as they change possession and therefore it is impossible for the game to continue the same path. Arsenal have benefited from plenty of dodgy decisions over the years.
