Yet Emery never harked back to that pivotal refereeing error at Old Trafford, for which Villa received apologies from the official, Thomas Bramall, and Howard Webb, chief of the refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL).
Where? I have never seen a report about this ever since that week. Not even reviewed in ref's micced up or anywhere else that I can see online.
This jumped off the page of the Unai article
PGMOL's Key Match Incident reports identified that Villa suffered more refereeing mistakes (nine) than any other top-flight club in 2024-25.
Haven't seen this before anywhere, either.
OK so other clubs might also have been sinned against, but if we suffered most, then had all these 'errors' not been made which club would have benefitted most?
Water under the bridge now. The learning point? Don't be left needing all the chips to fall our way on the last matchday.
Grind out those dull, boring, unexciting wins and draws in the winter months.
