when a Chelski 'supporter' comes into an Everton forum, 7 points clear on top and with endless money to spend, complaining about how hard life is.....

I fully agree that should have been a penalty. But you're missing the point. The pro-Liverpool brigade during and after the game made sure this was the main talking point after the game. They did the same last season with the so-called Azpilicueta foul on Luis Suarez. But Skrtel fouls Costa in the box in the FA cup, a blatant penalty and no one talks about it. He elbows a Chelsea player, silence. Gerrard pushes his head against Costa, it's Gerrard so it's no big deal. And there are countless examples like this, but I won't go on any longer.

Also, look at what the shameless Neil Ashton of the Daily Mail is leading with right now, it's incredible what's going on this season in particular. But you can choose to believe there isn't a campaign against us or at least an insane double standard.

But James mate, us Evertonians have lived with double standards (in favour of our red neighbours) for decades. You need to harden up my friend.
And another friendly word of sagacious Evertonian advice : never, EVER hope for fairness, or hope for anything...it's the hope that kills you

But shouldn't it have been the main talking point - chelsea won but Liverpool were denied a clear penalty in the dying minutes that could have rescued a valuable point? There doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy, as humans we are very biased to what happens to us most recently so events that happend late on in a match tend to take on more significance than those at the start.

Naismith should probably have conceeded a penalty early on Wednesday and Ivanovic's goal in ~5th minute at Goodison (making it 0-2) should have been offside. Neither action had much press focus despite changing the dynamics of the game because we naturally focus on the latter stages and frankly most of us are drunk whilst watching anyhow!

Swansea had amazingly bad calls earlier in the season against them - red cards, offsides, penalties conceeded but not awarded etc, Monk was having fits. But there was no logical reason to call that a campaign against them.

Even if there is, you're winning despite the ******** trying to get you down - lighten up man!

Okay, so why wasn't the clear penalty on Costa the major talking point after our game with them? Because the footballing media, especially Sky, is over-saturated with ex-Liverpool players.

The campaign Mourinho spoke of was not just these decisions, but also the way the media is so vehemently anti-Chelsea and anti-Mourinho. Please just read the article by Ashton that the Daily Mail is leading with right now. It's ridiculous.

The decisions - the media double standard - the pro-Liverpool bias (which admittedly doesn't affect us alone) - That's the "campaign" Mourinho was referring to. And please, stop using the word grand conspiracy because I never used it.

Listen to the way this thunder**** speaks about our manager. With pure hatred. Where has he when Ferguson was perpetually berating match officials for the better part of two decades, the coward.



Mourinho gives them what they want : headlines. But then they turn around and drag him in the mud. Of course, he's just the outspoken foreigner who many people hate, so he's good game, right? Sometimes I wish he becomes more like Ferguson was to them and tells these people where to go.
 
Just to add to what that clown was saying in the video ^^^^^^^^^^ This was the "penalty" decision that ended our title hopes and ended Mourinho's unbeaten record at Stamford bridge.



A non-existent foul that ruined all the hard-work the team put in all season but Redknapp expects Mourinho to shut up, get on with it and be like a robot and show no emotion. If it happened to his team, will he have said that? Of course not.
