flawed stuff... (plus if they're so clever, why is their website so difficult to get around).
in a nutshell... they look at 8 games (not all televised games - just 6 plus two games against ars*nal). the only particularly contentious games of these 6 imo are home to chelscum and away to manure. in these 8 games, they discover high levels of supposed bias in just 3 games (home to chelsea and, surprise, suprise, both games against ars*nal). other than away at man utd (high bias against us), the other 4 games are all relatively balanced although usually with a minor bias against us.
from the couple of random other ars*nal games i looked at, there seems to be an unsurprising/unlikely view that ars*nal are always badly treated by referees regardless of the opposition, so those two games should be excluded from any attempt to provide a sensible commentary. do that and the figures are much less mind-blowing (and, oh yeah, show a tendency that qpr are usually on the wrong-end of bad decisions).
