You're a better footballing side champers and have been all season I'd say. What I don't know, genuinely is whether you're better equipped to get out of the division. The derby games was more the exception (there have been others) not the rule for us, footballing wise, but we're stubborn and hard to beat. For all, you were the better team today, it took a bit of luck at the end to do for us... which is what I mean. You guys should often win by more than you do, we grind out a lot of just about deserved wins.

I'd say that's a fair comment. We often dominate games, but we have been susceptible to conceding some pretty horrendous goals. We've gotten out of jail a few times too.

One thing I will say is we've had some truly AWFUL referees that have made things a lot harder. I'm very objective when I go to games (I even said to my mate at the time that two of your bookings were ridiculous today) and at times it's felt like there's a conspiracy to get us out of the top 6. We can't buy a penalty.
Saw a table recently of penalties awarded and we were 1 of 4 teams to not yet have one given. The others were 3 of the bottom 4. Reading have had 11 I think.

I have always thought it was complete bollox anyway, but if decisions do actually "even themselves out", then we are in for a really easy ride from here on in

ok so we lost against udders, but if the score would've stayed 1-1, would we have classed that as a good result ? or did udders deserved the win ?....don't forget it was a shot that was going miles wide that got deflected back in for udders to score....i know its all ifs & buts after the event, but imo a draw would probably have been a fair result...
