To add to the conspiracy theory...

We haven't had a penalty awarded in the Premier League this season,
according to DM.

I can't find any stats on how many other teams have had, but this
confirms that if we finish in the top 4 then it will be completely
from the effort we've put in.

(The conspiracy theory is that the Premier League have told officials
that Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool must be in the top 4
places to maximise their revenue).

bastards...oh, I see. ;o)

Corruption in football is only an Italian thing. Honest. Wink

Just found "est1878"'s post that it is only us and Man City who
haven't been awarded a penalty this season.

Yup Barney. Just us and Man City have not had a pen this season. At the
end of last season DM gave Keith Hacket a video of some of the most
clear cut pens we were denied last season. Hacket agreed that at least
8 of them were certain pens and that he could not explain why they were
not given. Since then Everton have not been awarded a single pen!

You wonder if the refs took unbridge with what DM did and thought
'we'll show him'.

Another conspiracy theory? Everton's board made to look stupid (should that be more stupid) by a Russian "Michael Knighton", in a bid to prise Rooney away? Who else do we know from Russia who has been linked with a Rooney bid? Roman is behind it all! Rooney will be T.C.P. -- "We ha
