I don't know exactly what to make of this claim but it somehow doesn't ring true regardless of the statistics used.

The suggestion that refs may have been influenced into finding in favour of QPR because their sponsor is owned by TF is quite bizarre. They would get nothing extra in doing so and would be in serious risk being struck off.

The only sense I can make of it is the Arsenal supporters who've produced this report are still grumpy over us beating them at LR and needed to find some kind of excuse. They clearly take after their beloved 'Lord Wenger'.

What do you make of it: http://blog.emiratesstadium.info/archives/23040

If they do take after Wenger they won't have seen any of the decisions.

Reading through it I'm struggling to make sense of it. A lot of paragraphs seem to be missing as its full of non sequiturs. It's also missing all the paragraphs that explain what all the Acronyms are supposed to stand for. Some of them can be guessed, though misnomers (such as EPL), while others look quite important and aren't explained. I'd like to assess it objectively, but presented like that I just can't.

LIES, DAMNED LIES & STATISTICS!


Absolutely laughable.

Clint's goal at Bolton?
SWP's effort V WBA?
'The dive' at Man Ure?
At least half the sending's off we had last season?

Someone obviously has too much time on their hands

The statistics they present seem to be based on which team gets the most decisions against Arsenal. They've left out all of the rest of the data so there's just no way to judge it. Shambles.

If you only take one biased set of data into account it is easy to conclude that:

Paul MccCartney died in 1967

JFK was killed by an unknown gunman on the grassy knoll

Lord Lucan is currently exercising Shergar somewhere in the south of France/Africa

Someone was driving a Fiat in front of Henri Paul

etc etc

The most sending-offs ever in a Premier league season. So glad the refs were so biased in our favour!

Clint Hill v Bolton probably the widest margin a ball has ever been over the line and not given in a premier league match!

A pribbling idle-headed giglet up. That's all. Big deal. Arrow

Absolutely laughable article.

The amount of time that must have gone into producing that must be frightening, yet I think the majority of other supporters would agree we had a pretty hard time with referee's last season. Total waste of time from someone who clearly has nothing better to do.

Hmmmm....and up until recently who also sponsored referees along with Air Asia?

A certain....Emirates?

Why didn't they do their groundbreaking research a couple of years ago?!

Analysed 8 games, 4 of which were listed. In those 4 games we had 3 players sent off and lost 3 of the games.
