Let's pretend for a moment that referees have it in for Villa.
Why?
We're pretty much an irrelevance, and have been for years. What possible reason would, multiple, referees 'have it in' for us?
They may not have it in for us but they definitely have a preference for other teams (the so called bigger teams). We're back to the same suspects...
Dean
Dowd
Halsey
and Poll.
The incidents of these preferences have been discussed on here many times.
