Exile and Monkey - yes, I thought the refs crapness was that he was too fussy.

Lord Stiff - I kind of agree with where you are going i.e., that 4-0 flattered us, but stats can still be facts and misleading.
If their possession was largely non threatening passing in the own half when we were already 3-0 up, and their shots on target were lame long range shots born of frustration, that's going to show up in stats the same as a team cutting the opposition to ribbons when they have the ball.
The fact their goalie gifted us two goals is no different than, say, mistakes in their defence. Or needlessly losing possession in midfield. It's still part of the overall team performance.
