Obviously none of this is my own opinion, and I do not agree with much of it, but there is some truth to this.
Since Milan is slacking, and Roma is inconsistent, we are pretty much the only serious contendors for the Scudetto. I'm afraid that at the end of the season we will be recounting all the points we lost (unfairly) and say if only this or if only that. First off, we are eight points away from Inter (assuming they beat Lazio which they will), and although we have played all our big games already (only Lazio left), our away record is particularly troublesome esp. for a team aiming for the title.
At the same time, refs have cost us enough points this season and I sincerely hope we've seen the last of it against Parma. Then again, for a team aiming for the title, the points we've lost are already more than enough.
Wk 3 Udinese
1 point (DP penalty)
Wk 4 Roma
2 points (Tott offside on first goal)
Wk 7 Fiorentina
2 points (very soft Legro penalty)
Wk 9 Napoli
1 point (we already know why- 2 scandalous calls)
Wk 12 Parma
2 points (non-existant penalty on Reginaldo)
As you can see, this adds up. The previous are EIGHT points we lost due to dubious calls. The table would certainly look very different as we'd be on par with Inter.
