There is a lot of evidence to suggest that some big clubs like Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc are more likely to get a penalty when playing at home than the opposition.

On Saturday Watford got their first penalty of the season and you can bet your sweet life they had many un-rewarded legitimate claims in previous games.

Because you and your mates will not have anything to talk about after a match is a pretty lame excuse for not doing something positive about ‘penalties’.
So to me it sounds like you want to start americanising our beautiful game,shall we have the halves made into quarters to to raise a bit more revenue on advertisements.Just like what Sky have done 'Glazer' at my club and probably what 'Gillett' will do at Anfield.It will Kill off for good our game.
