Players modify their behaviour depending upon how close they are to a caution, even team's such as Stoke who have a flagrant disregard for fair play. Therefore there is no guarantee that if one "incorrect" call was correctly made against a Stoke player, he would continue to play as unfairly as has been detected by these groups of impartial refereeing experts. In short you cannot simply apply miscarriages of justice additively to real match data.<br /><br />I had assumed that the sites you linked to existed to allow Arsenal fans to feel better about their inability to beat Stoke away from the Emirates. I wasn't aware that they had a serious point to make.<br /><br />thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Mark.

I would like to ...This is an interesting article. <br /><br />I would like to add a very important thing: how many mistakes did refs make when making decisions. Also about the cards and even about the fouls given.<br /><br />On two (debatable decisions + untold arsenal) sites you can find statistical evidence that Stoke has been treated very positive by the refs. And that Arsenal has been hit hard by mistakes by refs.<br /><br />Refs in general let a lot of fouls from Stoke pass and don't blow the whistle so they don't get named in the statistics. <br /><br />More information for the current season can be found on a new website that gives a complete analyse of all the games in the PL http://www.refereedecisions.co.uk/<br /><br />To give an example in the first two games from Stoke the refs made a total of 20 mistakes in favour of Stoke. And those 20 are missing in your article.
