Hmmm, missing most of today's games because of my nephews first birthday.

[MrMichael]

Right, so who wants to start the sweepstake?

a) How many blatantly incorrect decisions will ManU get in their favour today?
b) Which game shall the next extremely confused racialist incident be at?

b) Which game shall the next extremely confused racialist incident be at?

a) three. One penalty given, one blatant penalty denied to Arsenal, one Arsenal player incorrectly sent off. The usual, in other words.
b) probably Chelsea again.

[Liverpel]

Mike Dean is referee at Old Trafford today. Hmm, I can't see Arsenal getting any decisions.

After the loss to Chelsea, Ferguson said: "When I saw it was Mike Dean I did worry, I have to say."

There is a referee at Old Trafford today. Hmm, I can't see Arsenal getting any decisions.

Fixed...

[Shaggy]

This is simply unbelievable, the nerve of this troll.

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
Sir Alex Ferguson's programme notes start today with: "I don't often feel great sympathy for referees..." Who is he discussing next?

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
Ferguson on Clatternburg: "He was pilloried and didn't deserve it. In my mind the officials made 2 mistakes, one that went against us..."

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
"And one that did us a huge favour and I don't hold either either error against them." Felt Torres should have seen red for Cleverley foul.

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
More Ferguson: "That's the human nature of a coach abd you learn to come to terms with it so that most of the time you accept the difficulty

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
Ferguson explains: "Inevitably you find yourself challenging those 50-50 decisions that go against you.

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
Ferguson felt the failure to send off Torres was balanced out by Hernandez's offside goal for Man Utd's winner. #bbcfootball

Phil McNulty @philmcnulty
Last Ferguson: "of the referee's job with good grace and at the end of the day you accept refereeing is the most difficult job in sport..."

[Shaggy]

De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Valencia, Carrick, Young, Cleverley, Rooney, van Persie.

Mannone, Sagna, Santos, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.

Arsenal's midfield is way better than United's.

[Shaggy]

Why the hell is Ramsey playing wide in the front 3? Walcott sub. Ridiculous really.

[red g]

From what i have seen all other managers have been on the fence regarding Clattenberg.
Ferguson is the only one I have seen that has backed clattenberg 100%, I suppose he needs to protect his own though doesn't he.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Valencia, Carrick, Young, Cleverley, Rooney, van Persie.

Mannone, Sagna, Santos, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.

Arsenal's midfield is way better than United's.

Most teams at the top end have had a better CM than United for years, that's how we used to beat them under Rafa. You just wonder is United attacking line up far too much for that Arsenal back ****up

[Muddled]

Carrick and Cleverley is a truly awful midfield combination.

If Cazorla turns up, he could cause Evans a mischief. Hopefully.

[Fosterbloke]

They'll spawn a win. I hope they get pumped.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Be interesting to see who takes United's pen today

[Muddled]

Van Persie Rooney I reckon. Only because he's an arrogant, egotisitcal prick.
