Just another standard Saturday in the corrupt world of the Premiership.
Each of the Sky PremPlus offerings saw major global gambles on the favourites, Liverpool and Arsenal.
We would never have advocated backing Liverpool against "the little club" (in the words of Benitez) but Lescott's handball was a penalty even if Neville's probably wasn't and, as ever in such situations, Alan Wiley turned a blind eye. SkyBet were on the draw throughout the market.
The sending off of Senderos by Mike Riley may have had some limited justification but it most certainly wasn't a penalty. Additionally, Viduka and Arca both could have seen straight red cards for their respective assaults on Toure and Fabregas. Numerous previous posts have highlighted the corruption at the expense of Arsenal this season - we are considering creating an Arsenal "tag" due to the frequency of such occurrences! Arsenal would be 15 points better off on a level playing field and we would have a very different title race.
Yet again, football loses; the fans lose; the Premiership loses; the bookmakers win. Modern day manipulation in a crappy little country...
