City have compiled a dossier of incidents where Raheem Sterling didn't get penalties. We should do the same for Wilf as his list is far longer and throw in red card challenges that didn't result in a red while we're at it.

ETIMAD Man City angry at Sterling treatment from refs and compile dossier after being denied clear penalty vs Huddersfield
MANCHESTER CITY are growing increasingly unhappy at the way referees are judging Raheem Sterling.
And the Premier League champions have already complied a dossier of incidents involving Sterling from the past nine months.
City are concerned historic unproven allegations of diving are now counting against the 24-year-old in the eyes of referees.
England winger Sterling was denied a clear penalty by official Andre Marriner when he was wiped out by Terence Kongolo at Huddersfield on Sunday.
But that was the latest in a series of incidents which have left Pep Guardiola and the City hierarchy puzzled and frustrated.
City believe there are at least four other occasions in that time when Sterling should have been awarded a spot-kick.
Now they will monitor the situation in the coming weeks to see if they require a second meeting with refs chief Mike Riley within 12 months after City raised concerns over a lack of protection by officials towards their players last season.
An Etihad insider said: “Obviously you get some, you don’t get others.
"But there have been three now in the space of three weeks which replays show to be stonewall penalties.
“It has left some people here scratching their heads. It seems that Raheem is being judged differently to everyone else.”
In the middle of all those, Sterling did get one he shouldn’t have had - when he tripped over the turf against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The former Liverpool man apologised after the game and admitted it should never have been awarded.
But back in November 2017, former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claimed that Sterling ‘dives well’ after he won a penalty against the Gunners at the Etihad.
Former top Premier League ref Mark Halsey said: “Raheem has been unfairly treated by referees over recent months.
“He should have been awarded more penalties and Manchester City have every right to be concerned.”
