Refs have a game plan ahead of the match and I honestly think that there's a negative bias against us. We were not much liked by them before NW took over and now we are even less; it's that apparent that even neutrals are now noticing. I'll be at Brighton tomorrow as I was at Burnley and I would not be surprised to see similar decisions go against us from officials who seem to be untouchable and with an agenda.

I see what you’re saying but imagine what will fly through a refs mind if we get a penalty claim tomorrow - part of him must be thinking “oh sh?t I’d better give them this one!”
