Referee bias? It's all subjective, but not all their smoking guns are even correct. For instance...

The high-profile incidents from recent weeks would be sufficient to raise alarm bells on their own – the straight-forward dismissals of Luiz against Chelsea and Walker against Spurs that were not even given as fouls – but much more worrying are these entirely contradictory facts: City top the possession stats by some margin yet lie third in the disciplinary table. And the odd meltdown aside, they are anything but a dirty side.

Which wasn't a "straightforward dismissal" at all. According to the rules in place now there is no longer a red card and penalty for denial of goalscoring opportunity in the box, as the Walker push was. It's yellow card and penalty. It was that all right, so a bad decision it was, but not even as bad as yer man thinks it was in that sense.
The last point is pure nonsense. Should there by definition be a correlation between how much possession a side has and how many fouls they commit? Might a side that has a lot of possession be a side that goes further to win the ball back than most, and in doing so commit a lot of fouls? It's not a "contradictory fact", it might be a counterintuive statistic but it's presented as something it's not.
Bit Grimsonny but you know. It's presenting "evidence" that isn't evidence at all but leading statements.
