I don’t care if FA were to accidently come across this article and charge me with improper conduct. I maintain my stance that they are dumb and stupid. It’s one thing to protect your employees and another to be indifferent to complains of your clients.
FA have this campaign running to honor the referees. And they punish anyone who seem to speak out against the referee. But this kind of creates a dictatorship – referee can do anything on the pitch and no one can question their decision. This I think goes against the principle of any sport.
A sport is meant to be a free and fair competition between competing sides. A referee or an umpire is supposed to be an unbiased person overlooking the game. But in the real world no one is unbiased. Every person has an ulterior motive. So there should be a committee you can get your complaints through to and have faith that the committee will take an unbiased decision.
It’s pathetic to see what happens in the English Football. The FA rule over everything. There’s absolutely no forum where a manager could go and complain about a referee being impartial. Every time that happens, it’s the club or the manager who gets fined for speaking their mind. So what the hell ever happened to free speech?
I think FA and UEFA have both adopted the wrong principles here. Instead of blatantly and unabashedly supporting their referees they must accept the fact that perhaps the referee can have a bad game sometime and look into the complaints with an open mind. And if they cannot accept that their referee are only humans, they must stop opposing the introduction of technology and actually seek as much help as possible from the fast developing technology.
As a fan I just want to stress that it’s no fun watching your team being on the receiving end of all the dubious decisions. We expect a referee to take up a stance and stick to it throughout the game. Sad as it makes me, but this is not what happens right now. Often big matches are decided by incompetent referees. And since the FA and UEFA decide to turn a blind eye to these incidents and support their referee no-matter-what, it just spoils the fun of the game.
If we continue along the same path, I doubt it’ll be long before the clubs start pondering about setting up a system parallel to the FA and start a breakaway series. There’s only so much injustice that a club can bear!

Here’s the Predicted Final Standings as simulated at the end of 1st October, 2011.
EPL Predicted Final Standings - 2011/10/01
Well, the current form of Manchester City is very well represented in this prediction. They have assembled an amazing squad. With Aguero and Dzeko at the front they have had the courage to drop Tevez, the guy who was so important in their previous season. Balotelli has started to make his presence felt. Assisting the strikers, ManCity has Silva and Nasri. Silva is pure class and Nasri is none lesser. ManCity is certainly the best squad on paper in the EPL.
About ManUtds chances I am slightly skeptical. Without Scholes their midfield has been inconsistent. They have a young keeper that everyone is so eager to test. ManUtd has had it easy so far. It was a second string Arsenal that they played. With Modric transfer saga, Spurs were not in the right frame of mind to take on ManUtd. Also Modric did not feature in that game at all. The only games with the top clubs in form that they have played have been Liverpool and ManCity. Liverpool they drew and ManCity they lost. They need to watch out else the bigger European teams will simply sweep them off their feet just like ManCity did.
Chelsea has had a mixed start to the season. Anyone who has followed Chelsea will point out that they are playing far more pleasing football than they have in the recent years. Cole and Bosingwa have been like wingers. Luiz meanders through to the midfield and tries a couple of long range shots himself. With Mata, Ramires and Sturridge the build up play has been frantic. There’s an eagerness to get the ball to the final third. But the finishing has been poor. Drogba is past his best. Torres still lacks the confidence to shoot for goals. He was just getting to his best when he got red carded. Now he is back to square 1. With the offensive approach and the high back line, Chelsea has been leaking goals. Even QPR and Genk have now managed to score against them. For this season, I wouldn’t consider Chelsea to be a title contender any more. They’ll happily finish 3rd and with a little fight 2nd.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are all close calls. I am more inclined towards Spurs provided they manage to hold on to Modric this January transfer window. Arsenal are the most unpredictable team. When Van Persie is in form they score freely, otherwise they just struggle. And their defense is not great either.
My guess would be ManCity, Chelsea, ManUtd, Spurs, Arsenal and then Liverpool.

It was so exciting to finally see all the cars zoom past us on their first lap. The combined sound of those 20 cars was worth taking all the trouble to get there.

Urchin has this feature to track campaigns. One can use the utm_source, utm_medium, etc; variables to track which of the campaigns drive greater traffic to the website. There is no extra setup required. I just consolidated all the information required to decorate the campaign urls and gave the wiki link to the pms.
Our website requires one to be logged in. Being signed out, if one were to enter the url to a page which required the user to be logged in, the website redirects to the login page even before urchin can kick in and set the campaign cookies. After the login procedure we redirect the user to the same url he had entered – the one which contained the utm_source variable. So, logically speaking Urchin should be setting the right campaign values here. This is where things started to go wrong. Urchin did not set the correct cookie values!
To make things more bizzare, no matter how many times you refresh the page Urchin would just disregard the utm variables. But if the same link was to be copied and pasted into a new tab Urchin would kick into life and recognize the campaign parameters. The same url getting differential treatment! World is not fair.
The issue was killing me. That is when I checked the window.location in the browser console. And guess what I found out? The first url had encoded characters – _ converted into %5F. So the utm_source variable becomes utm%5Fsource! Obviously Urchin could not find any tracking variables in the url. I changed the code to un-escape the login redirect url and things worked like a charm.
Otherwise a simple problem, it became complicated in this case because my browsers were always showing the url to contain utm_source variables whereas the window.location was actually utm%5Fsource. I never knew that the two could differ.
