Sir Alex Ferguson - Bringing the Game into Disrepute

When we produced our series of blog posts entitled "What an Incredible Fluke", we were demonstrating that you don't have to make libellous comment to expose the corruptions within the English Premier League.

We particularly focused on the distortions in the EPL Title Race.

PGMOB Referees Webb, Foy, Marriner, Jones and Mason have exhibited a statistically significant but obviously unconscious bias in favour of Manchester United in their careers.

So shall we take a look at the selection of referees over the last few rounds of the handicap race?
Oh yes we shall...

Manchester United

Sunderland (Webb)
Swansea (Foy)
Man City (Marriner)
Everton (Jones)

Manchester City

QPR (Dean)
Newcastle (Webb)
Man Utd (Marriner)
Wolves (Mason - changed after pressure from Eastlands)
Norwich (Foy)

Dean excepted, spot any pattern?

But lets go further back on United 'matches'.

Prior to Aston Villa and Wigan, QPR (Mason), Blackburn (Webb), Fulham (Webb 4th Official to junior referee), Wolves (Webb 4th Official to junior referee), West Brom (Foy 4th Official to junior referee) - if you are a low level official making your way in the world, having PC Webb or PC Foy shouting into your ear most certainly has an influence on decisions!

In 9 of the last 11 matches of the season, United have had an official with historical bias in their favour controlling the decision-making!

In that the season began with 19 PGMOB officials, we would have to ask...
... Why?

And why has Foy got Stoke v Bolton today - the match that Bolton must win to keep QPR keen?

And why did the now-retired Peter Walton, in his last 22 matches officiating either City or United, produce NO City wins and NO United defeats?

If this was Russia, we would call it corruption.
If it was Italy, we would call it the mafia.

But it is England so it must be the Premier League Establishment!
