My opinion is that Sly have not abandoned their pets after all.
It is just that the pets are to far of the pace to take advantage of the preferential treatment.
But this is a big concern for the future.
Yesterday, least we forget.
It was 1-1 deep into the second half only because of the calls Liverpool got - a soft penalty for them, we should have had a second penalty,
no VAR reply for Stone's goal, a reluctance to give them yellows, etc...
In the past, these types of decisions were enough to swing results in Liverpool's favor (against us and others)
For Utd, just look at what happened with the second red for Southampton - no need for further explanations.
Looking forward it is a real concern.
The win/lose margins for elite level sports are usually very small when the playing field is level.
You are on a loser if the officials favor your opponents. Almost impossible for you to win.
That is where we will be sometime in the future.
What do people think?
