I see your point, and i agree the mancs do seem to have a 'certain sway' over authority figures (see Rafa's 'rant'). But if we manage to be in the place we are this season without getting into second gear (which were clearly not) doesnt that mean we can override that next season? And yes i know we were given a touch as we were dropping points when everyone else was but i genuinely believe we will be the team to beat next season and Fergie knows it.

But who's to say that, if we step up further and look like we're overriding it, the officials wont just step in and give them further assistance?

Rationale goes out of the window for derby games, City have some good players who could punish United's dodgy defence.

City did the double over them when Sven was there with far inferior players than them.

You never know with Derby games

No one. But if they did get any more 'assistance' than they already do, someone would have to have a word somewhere along line surely? If not then I would gladly side with that its all a corrupt fix.

Exactly.

It aint gonna happen. If it looks like it might, there'll be another game-saving decision from the ref.

Villa and Spurs, if things hadnt been ****ed up, would've both beaten them.

But the authorities wont allow them to drop the necessary points, i'm certain of that.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson on the penalty:

"It was a bit fortunate. Football is funny like that. Last week we were knocked out of the FA Cup by not getting a penalty kick.

"It doesn't deflect from our second-half performance."

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp:

"The turning point was definitely the penalty. It turned the game in their favour without a doubt.

"At that stage I couldn't see us getting beat. It was a gift which wasn't deserved. It was a terrible decision. Howard (Webb) is supposed to be our best ref, but if he's the best I'd hate to see the worst."

[Craig_H]

I feel sorry for Harry Redknapp, because he cant say what he wants to say, and what everyone's thinking. Same with Rafa, if he comes out and says what he should be entitled to say, he'll get in ****.

I think it is too much of an ask, but I've never seen a team with such an awkward run in.

In the premier league you always look to win your home games and take what you can get in away games. Obvioulsy when competing at the top this changes slightly, but it still remains the same.

The Mancs have four tough home games every season. They have two left in City and Arsenal. Then they have Boro, Wigan and Hull away. Neither of which are easy. In fact they are very difficult places to go.

It is not all over. It just gets more unlikely with every result that happens.

Could I see two of City, Arsenal, Boro or Wigan getting a draw? Yes. Exciting last day then.

I hope Rafa gives them as much **** as possible, even if it gets him banned, I don't care anymore.

In normal circumstances i'd agree. But they'll have referees getting them out of trouble, if needed. It's clear cut.

Is there a link to the incident?

[Daffy Duck]

if you mean the penalty:

[Joe King]

Just seen the United goals - FFS. That was never a penalty in a million years. That changed the whole complexion of the game. And I absolutely hate that greasy, slimy, cheating, poisonous, greedy, ego feeding Howard Webb.

[Aza]

All that penalty does, is tell the divers... "Keep on diving."... you'll get one eventually

Is Webb biased?

Late on in the first half Ronaldo got pulled up for a blatant offside after being put through by Shrek.

Linesman flagged, ref blew his whistle.

Ronaldo carried on playing even though everyone else had stopped, and kicked the ball into the Spurs goal.

What did Webb do?

Yellow card?

Quiet word?

**** all?

You guessed right... **** all.

[lickedlollipop]

howard webb is so overrated referee. **** him and mancs together!
