As usual it's the ref's fault when they don't win .... nothing to do with the fact they didn't score enough goals in 90mins

Poetic justice after Rooneys let off.

Hmm ... Fergie seems to be "seeing red" rather a lot these days!! Never quite sure whether this is a reflection of his having been around his team's home colours for so many years (although it's said that s generally mellow with age!) ... or the plain fact that he's a "fiery"

and being angry at the ref , considering how much he earns you would of thought he was far more mellow, i wonder why his nose is turning red too

Now there's a thought, 'Red Nose' Day is coming up just shortly ... wonder how much he'll donate?

We are now into ****** [ADMIN: Please do not circumvent the swear filter with that language on a public forum. Thanks] you up Ferguson needs to calm it down a bit, he looked like he was going to have a seizure a couple of times last night. I doubt if the FA will do anything about his disgraceful comments re the ref - as usual one rule for Moan U one rule for the rest.

Donkey Carroll and your nemesis Joe Cole on Sunday, then Marseilles putting the boot in with the away goal

Arsenal, man u have to worry about 4 points behind and a game in-hand. Chelski had it this season

Refs are no worse than they've ever been. I bet they still all make the same errors statistically. The only problem is so many TV cameras these days, and replays from all angles .... something the ref doesn't have, and has to make a split second decision.

You're driving at 30mph passing a school emptying out and a kid runs out in front of you ... a split second to decide what to do ... you slam the brakes on and swerve ... go into a skid, and hit the kids on the pavement killing one ..... another kid recorded it on his phone cam and when the police review it they workout that if you'd just put the brakes on and went straight you'd have stoppen just before the kid that ran out...... easy in hindsight and with video evidence...

Agreed. The problem is Ferguson can never keep his big gob shut isn't he fond of saying "things evening themselves out in the end" - well yesterday Potato Head's forearm smash was evened out to a certain extent. If it had been Joey Barton the FA would have banned him for life

If it had been Joey Barton I would have married him for life
