Robbed twice in two Premier League matches, we could be in 4th place on 55 points, +14 GD, and reasonably clear of 6th place. Instead, we will lucky not to be sat 6th after the referees do their "work" at Old Trafford today. I'm struggling to come up with reasons why this is happening to us on such a regular basis: how many red cards already rescinded (too late) this season for West Ham? How many penalties not given? How many serious fouls against us unpunished? Is it the big money generally, and the threat West Ham pose of cracking into the Big Time? Is it specifically the big money invested in Man City? Is it that none of the teams up North would be in a Champions League Place if we were in 4th? Is it fear that England could lose CL places if teams like Leicester and West Ham failed to perform in the CL? Is it all of the above? Or do we just happen to have gotten the wrong end of the decisions time and time and time again, pure bad luck? For myself, I think it is that the global brand of Manchester United is just too big, and some people will do ANYTHING to make sure that they qualify for the Champions League. Well, we will see. Bring on the big boys. We have Arsenal and Manure at home. Let's see them try to walk over us. IRONS!
Just noticed that practically EVERYONE thinks
the red card was a ridiculous decision; all but one MOTD commentator, and for once not Shearer, who defended Kouyate.
Disappointed with wrighty
Disappointed with wrighty saying Kouyate had to go Ashes
Shearer and England
I'm actually getting to like Alan Shearer these days, he does seem to be on our side a bit more. Whilst watching the Liverpool/Spurs game on Sky yesterday, I counted 10 current England players. Clyne, Henderson (who is crap beyond), Lallana, Milner, Sturridge, Rose, Walker, Dier, Alli and Kane. Bloody TEN. is this some sort of a record or some sort of a poxy joke? I don't think I missed any? maybe Jordon Ibe, came on as sub, does HE play for England? Probably.
Have you see the bins Wrighty wears?
He is Howard from the Halifax ads these days.
He has to make the controversial call to earn his bread as a pundit. The world and his wife know that was a hard tackle. Even a shit ref gives it a yellow.
However burg deems it a red.
He's getting smashed soon.
I feel your anger candyman
I thought it very likely that MC had to sneak out the back door after the match or otherwise get lynched.
Another good week
for MU. http://www.teamtalk.com/news/ref-review-the-incorrect-decisions-from-wee...?
So we got two bad decisions in one game
and we are minus on the season. What are the odds of that happening to Manchester United?
Considering they're top of
Considering they're top of the table with just 2 decisions going against them shows the odds are pretty low Ashes. Clearly though we're not getting the rub of the green and being punished way too harshly. Maybe they should retrospectively award points if the total of shocking decisions against you reaches a certain level and it's proved that you would have finished higher up the table if the referees had brains or weren't so biased towards the big clubs.
