It seems people are interested in how crap we are.
Or is that you, Howard Webb? Lurking around because we've been on to your stooges since Chansiri was stupid enough to file legal claims against the EFL.
Sunderland and their shithousery up next.
Given how disgraceful they were last time around I expect they're going to get our lot red carded and look for these easy penalties which have become the norm now
Garbage Premier League tactics, flopping about desperately trying to win a free kick around the box or penalties.
Similarly to our last relegation season, I'm pretty sure the other Clubs knew the officials were heavily biased against us and use it to their own advantage.
I'm looking forward to the end of the season with a genuine interest in the statistics.
Fouls, cards, pens etc.
I've mentioned before it's the type of fouls being given too.
You'll see soft fouls given against us to break up attacks and penalize us in defence.
However, you'll see the opposition blatantly ankle tapping and shirt tugging and we'll get nothing for it. We'll get the token FK in non threatening areas but nothing that's a direct threat, the edge of the box or heaven forbid a penalty to us.
Just a couple of examples, the perfectly fine goal scoring opportunity we had against Preston was called as a foul just before we tapped it into the net because their keeper flopped.
Vaulks penalty for Cardiff. Would never have been given if it were up the other end and against Cardiff. The sheer number of fouls called in their favourite was testament to this. 20 fouls against us to Cardiff's 6 and 5 yellows
Swansea's pen yesterday, whilst there was contact was yet another pathetic example of a grown man throwing himself to the ground as theatrically as possible and it's fking sad.
End of that game, we again 'out fouled' our opponents as we will in each and every game under the stooges.
Owls 16
Swans 12
As I keep saying, any real fan would be ashamed of their players behaving like this but the modern game is completely bent towards rewarding the cheating and shithousery.
We are going to be getting the crap end of the stick all season.
Definitely looking for the stats.
