The Manchester United Thread

[yourmumsface17]

Would prefer Utd to win tbh. Knock the confidence out of City going into the Arsenal game

Win Win

[squirrelbo1]

Considering QPR parked the bus since the first minute, and it has been play against one goal, we deserved a goal regardless. QPR isn't here to win today, that is clear.

Can't really expect them to do much else though can you.

No, but people will claim the penalty and the red card decided the game when in reality we dominated them from the start.

[yourmumsface17]

The game isn't over yet guys Not won yet.

[manutdfan]

Come on United!!!!!

Few more goals in the second half would be nice.

[yourmumsface17]

That one looked more of a penalty.

[squirrelbo1]

yeah but that early on anything can happen. swansea had most of the poessesion and created decent opertunities against newcastle. But cisse pretty much had 3 chances and took 2 of them....

[dc89]

Please guys, please tell me you can admit that was a horrendous decision and Young dived?

I'm looking forward to the media printing back pages with Young's face on with the words cheat below. The media like to brand players with one word in this country, remember Suarez?

But no, they won't, it's Old Trafford and its the norm.

I forget Swansea are newly promoted, they have impressed me that much.

I remember I actually was at Villa Park at a game last season, and I remember Young diving to get a freekick, which they scored with and won 1-0, I wonder if he did this in a Villa shirt any of you would care?

I also remember Adam Johnson taking a similar tumble earlier in the season (I completely forget which game, I wanna say Bolton at home) Would you like to have him branded as a cheat?

So get off your God damn high horse, no one here condones diving, if you look back I have said I don't like his diving and want him to cut it out, I can admit when my player does something wrong (Could mention a certain premier league player but I am going to avoid a shit storm)

Don't act like you never benefit from the referee, or do I have to get the debatable decision site etc etc and cause an even bigger debate?

Young may have made the most of it but he was free from the last defender and then it is a red and a penalty. The assistant should have seen he was offside though.

Yes it was a dive, who could honestly dispute it. I hate diving.

But no it is not the norm at Old Trafford, as statistics since the Fulham game have proved.

I wouldnt say its the norm (well not this season) but there is a saying "theres no smoke without fire" you guys do seem to have a reputation for getting lucky with decisions. This is probably down to teh fact that you are always under the spotlight, so a bad decision in a game between stoke and Norwich or something is forgotten the next day, but EVERYONE remembers bad decisions given in united favour. Spurs across the line for example. (that was like 7 years ago, could have been last year how well its remembered).

[yourmumsface17]

There was contact with Young, but still no need to go down.

Jamie Redknapp is hilarious, why don't they mention decisions that go against United? Neville is a magnificent pundit, Redknapp just jumps all over it, he loves sticking the boot in

The statistics prove that United don't benefit from the refs more than anyone.

You make a great point with the Roy Carrol incident, i mean there was a similar incident with Bolton only a month ago and everyone has forgotten it. Is anyone gonna remember that Valencia could have had a penalty? Are they fuck! Is anyone gonna remember United could have had a penalty in the game we beat Blackburn 7-1 in last season? Nope

Why? Because Man United win, it's as simple as that! Who is gonna care that United had a decision against them? (The amount of times I've seen that and people just say "Oh well it is justice" is hilarious)

Barcelona are suffering with it now actually, they got a few dodgy decisions at the Nou Camp and I saw all the usual Uefalonas etc etc (Hey, I have been victim to it, I have often been annoyed at Barca getting decisions) but what people forget is that they should have had a pen at the San Siro. People don't see it because, well they don't want to, they want to see Barca (Or United in this case) lose so their views are slanted.

..but lets not listen to reason, United (Club in huge debt) are bribing refs as opposed to City (trillionares).

Squirrel has it right.

Exactly. Majority of United games are always on TV so that's going to put them in the spotlight a lot more that the smaller teams. Its also why saying the big teams always get the decisions is wrong too, because all the big teams have the majority of their games on TV so are in the spotlight more. United, Cheslea, Arsenal, City are all on TV more than Wolves, Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn etc...

[manutdfan]

If your the team that's attacking and playing all the football there's a great chance your going to get the decisions, because your getting into attacking positions and dangerous areas. Plus having a lot of the game and ball, coming forward etc.

You park the bus you deserve everything you get.

Football wins out if you will.

1. As much as I hate to admit it, Nevile is pretty good pundit. But rednap is awesome as well.

2. For this season. There have definately been stats in teh past that show you had more penalties at home than others. I'm not saying there is a conspiracy but that stat is only accurate for this year IIRC

I could also show you stats that show that if the ref was 100% right in decisions that he gives United would actually be better off. (Off course it isn't completely accurate purely because you don't know what would have happened if the ref gave decision A in favour of team A, but you get my point )

Like MUfan above said, it's no suprise the most attacking team in the league gets a lot of pens

EDIT: Pretty sure Redknapp was trying not to cry

Cheating has no place in football. And that goes for any team or player.

Don't try and act like Young is the first player to go down easily in the title race. Give me a break.

Neh it's only United that 'cheat', it's ok to stamp on players head though

Well shit, I guess that makes it alright then.

That was the presumption.

Nice manpurse Mario B had. Don't know why Sky thinks anyone cares more about City players entering the Emirates than the game.
