  An absolutely scandalous decision by the referee to give a penalty to Norwich at that time, in that place, for what happened. Disgraceful. If Boruc had not saved that penalty, it might have been the point that took us down. THESE THINGS DO NOT EVEN THEMSELVES OUT OVER THE SEASON!!!!!! That is a myth that needs dispelling with some PROFESSIONAL statistics. NOT AMATEUR DECISIONS. (Rant over, but I haven't stopped all my life trying to explain this!)

  That's a really good point. We get stats on every thing else, why don't we get stats on wrong decisions? All this talk of 'even out' would be proven or disproven. I personally believe it would be disproven in favour of the Manure's and Citeh's of this world but who knows - Opta have missed an obvious one here.

  You see how it is Seed? You did it yourself right there..."I personally believe..."!!
  There are two considerations: the first is how many points dodgy decisions cost you, and the second is how many more you would have had without them.
  Some hard evidence needs collecting, also that poor refereeing decisions could be held ACCOUNTABLE. (Wish) The laziness of "oh it's OK it evens itself out" is just boiilocks (unless you can prove it to me!!)

  Yep. Dodgy decisions should be reviewed by the experts at Opta and ruled on. If they can't decide then it isn't a dodgy decision but where it's proven to be wrong that should go in a plus and minus column for each team. If you and I are wrong then fair enough but let's see the statistics to prove it!
  
  Also once the stats are collected they need even deeper analysis. We will get a couple of lucky decisions each year but bet they're not away to Utd or Arsenal."
