Hi guys! Man City fan in peace here. first of all, Man Utd fans have got to admit that chunks of last season was completly in the referees hands, and thats 1 reason why they won the league. Of course they should have won it anyway with their breathtaking attacking football. Against Wigan, the referee probably saw the Man U - Chelsea game and thought to himself "right, if man u think they can cheat me, think again" and as a result he got many decisions wrong in favor of Wigan. so next time you think about saying oh man u have luck of referees or they DONT have luck of referees, just remember thats both is true in different cases

"I am as keen a Utd. fan as anyone,but Redvilda is in cloud cuckoo land. Arsenal have a very proud history, every bit as illustrious as united's and have NEVER been out of the top division. There have been Arsenal teams that were less than expansive but by the same token, the double winning side was superb; I can recall Spurs playing the most fantastic football under Bill Nicholson. So please go easy on the hubris and remember that what goes round comes round. United have had bad patches before and will probably have them again but will keep a loyal support. I just hope that the true fans see TWO teams on the pitch and can appreciate the talent in other sides. Right now, Arsenal are very good to watch--get over it!"

A true football fan amongst the 14 year old glory supporters.

It was one of those games where the man in the stands was thinking 'Half time can't come soon enough- I need to get the lad in the dressing room and have a word ,He's lost all control'
The man in the stands was Kieth Hackett !

i dont know hwat cris huthchings is trying to doo because it isnt working at all first of if you are going to play man utd you cant go defensive because that will mkae them come at you and net 3 or 4 goals at you so if i was cris i would of had played the 4-4-2 atacking because if wigan had of keepts atacking for more than 20 minutes that would of have made man utd to go back and defend but no they werent under thereat realy it was just scharner and kouams who looked the danger to man utd and wigan should of have put this line ip

gk- kirkland
rb-taylor
cb-granqvist
cb-hall
lb-olembe
rm- valenica
cm-scharner
cm-landzaat
lm-koumas
st-bent
st-aghahowa

wigan could of have won that match if they had of played this team because valencia and koumas and bent and scharner are very fast and dangeroues but the managers just keeps on playing kilbane on the left back position when olembe should play there and put kouams on the left wing and valenica should go on the right wigan and aghahowa is fast

Question: Why are most England players sent off or giving away penalties playing for Man Utd?
Answer: Because they forget the refs in Europe are n`t on their side like in the UK.

A study was done about 6 years ago at a uiversity proving that Man Utd get the most penalties and least yellow cards. Ferguson trained his players to bully refs, plus the vested interests at SKY pressure refs to help Man Utd.

Even the intelligent and fair-minded Red fan admit this is th case.

Refs are human. They have their favourites and the teams they dont like. Sadly, some are racist, hence Arsenal and Chelsea`s rather bizarre discipline records. White British refs just prefer players and managers like them. The media, the refs and the FA all prefer Man U to win as they are more British than the rest of the teams. Once we have the integrity to accept this, then we may have a fair fight, but until then, the game is a tainted.
Look again at Man U players record in Europe or for England and then compare to the Prem. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to show that something is very wrong with the English game.

that was intelligent. I tell you what - why not dodge the issue...

Again:

1. Man U players in Europe and Internationals mess up as the favouritism doesn`t exist there

2. The media/FA/powers that be prefer Man U as its seen as more British than Chelsea and Aresnal and now Liverpool

3. Some refs are either consciously or unconsciously racist - a dispropertionate ratio of fouls and cards go to foreigners. Mikel`s dismissal was a case in point - a Nigerian. Wayne Rooney gets away with murder as he is the Pride of England.

Acceptance is the first step. Sadly there is little integrity or desire to be honest. As long as you are winning, right.

Mikel is bound to get more cards as he is playing in midfield.

The thing with Rooney is he makes such few tackles that when he makes a "bad" one, it tends to be noticed more often, and since he is the Pride of England, as you mentioned, he will be scrutinised more.

Mikel's tackle deserved a red card.Two fotted, studs showing, off his feet and reckless.
