If a referee makes a bad decision why can't managers say anything about it? I can understand the FA getting a bit uppity about anyone saying they are unfair (as Ferguson hinted at) but for them to back referees over every single decision is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as Paul Hart being given another manager's job. Luckiest man ever to be involved in the game. An atrocious manager and I can more or less guarantee he won't be at Swindon in 18 months time.

Granted Graham Poll is out of the game and desperate for the oxygen of publicity but he felt Martin Atkinson got just about every big decision wrong.

Love the hypocritical United fans, that penalty would've been given by almost every referee. Although, for me, Vidic was unlucky he was stupid to go in just after he'd got away with the foul on Drogba but all of a sudden Rooney's elbow has been forgotten, eh

Anyone notice Boughera grabbing the refs arm on two of the red cards last night?

Paul Hart was a great youth manager though. He brought through Harry Kewell, Jonathan Woodgate, Ian Harte, Alan Smith, Matt Jones, Stephen McPhail, Paul Robinson etc all through our academy

I might be wrong but I think Jenas, Dawson, Reid came through his team at Forest as well.
