Not just the refs, the FA as well. Banning Rooney for swearing and not banning others. It's a farce. It's the "in" thing to not give United decisions.

But it's not, as in the last game, your player clearly handballed it and should have been sent off, yet nothing happened. I hate the term, but things do balance out, you win some, you lose some, but I don't think it's any form of favouritism or influence behind it.

Carvalho needs to calm down. mutt1 have you got a link for that video?

Mascherano

Four 'Classics' and four drab, petty games.

They do balance out to an extent. Chelsea always get the big decisions against us though. The past few weeks it has become trendy to shaft us though. Not one person watching the Arsenal game seen that handball until the replay, not saying it's right, but obvious things are being missed at the business end of the season.

It has turned out nice, but would you admit, it would be good to see the two most successful clubs challenging for major honours again, in a few years. I mean, Liverpool v United is the biggest derby in England by a mile, for me.

2009 was one of the most exciting/horrible seasons I've had.

From the initial angle the ball doesn't deveate it's only when you see it from the other side that you can tell, when i watched it live i said there is no way he got his head to it so couldn't undertand the corner being given. The BBC made a big thing about it being one each on the dodgy decissions yet on the highlights edited out Chico? being pulled down by the arm in the first half and the Ramsey handball in the second. As for the Ramsey handball he jumped from inside the area and batted the ball down one what lookd like the line (see the rule of Frank) yet gave the free kick about 5 yards out

Thanks.

Mascherano and Busquets are a right pair of sly gets. From the replays it looks like Ronaldo makes the slightest of contact with Mascherano's leg which causes the Argetinian to throw himself into the air and perform in impropmtu audition for Holby City.
