Patrick said this week that Man United get favourable decisions their way, which Sir Alex Ferguson hit back that Man City have got decisions their way also from referees.

So, what do you think do big clubs in England, even around Europe like Man United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan etc get more decisions their way from referees than smaller clubs.

Vote Yes if big clubs do get decisions their way more than small clubs.
Vote No if all clubs get fair treatment from referees

You'll have to clear one thing up for me first though


What determines a 'big club'

Well, what determines a big club in my opinion, is one that has been successful over the years, winning lots of trophies and a huge fan base

Course they do. This was takin the piss

Then no, Forrest, shef wed get next to none

No offence but this question really isnt worth a poll. They do get more decisions, they always have and always will, there's just no question about it.

This is a table where someone tried to prove that the bigger clubs in the Premier League got better decisions than the others last season. I'm not sure how successful this attempt at proof is.

It's interesting that you regard Tottenham as a small club.

The bigger club in every game gets more decisions go their way in every Premier League game. After several years of being the refs whipping boys, even last season when we finished 11th, I've come to think that it goes beyond simple subconscious decision making or simple incompetence, and that they are getting paid by certain clubs for certain games.

Even if you could prove this happens who would do anything about it ?
