Its more than co-incedence, they are known for getting decisions for a reason. I hate the fact i spend thousands of pounds a season to go and watch a FIX

With 40 minutes gone in the match West Ham were 2-0 up and Vidic should have walked. You think im the idiot? They have had 3 match changing decision completely go there way. Thats is a fact
The ball was nowhere near the players, and in replay it showed Ba pull Vidic alot more than the other way. Yellow was a fair result. It wasnt a goal scoring opportunity.

The last penalty was wrong yes.

What else was there? Oh yes nothing.

So end result: 1 dodgey penalty.

:roll:
Right so if thats a yellow, why was he not booked for giving away the penalty? Or why was he not booked for the baltent foul 2 minutes into the second half which was a definate yellow.

The free kick for Rooney's goal was not a free kick in a million years, watch it back again, how can the ball go in that direction?

They're not a class team. Far far from it and that's what makes the fact that we're going to fall short so infuriating. But where they beat us is mentality and mental strength. We were 2 down away from home last time out & scrapped a point & they've come from 2-0 down to blow West ham away in the 2nd half & take all 3 points. Feel kinda flat now heading off to the game.

West Ham got 2 penalty's because they were so fucking blatent it was impossible to ignore them. The funny thing is they both avoided being booked

Well said - this is the worst United team I can remember by far, but you know what they still have winning the League as their and don't tell themselves Champions League qualification is as good as a trophy.

Why? Because its not. Not for a club that competes for and wins trophies which we used to be.

The question now is why does no one in any of our Club's leadership get this? Because surely it filters down into the team and that explains why we can't complete comebacks or hold the leads when things get nervy.

Is there anyone running our club who actually cares if we win a trophy right now? The only clue we have really is that our Club Chairman has said for the sixth year running that he doesn't care if we go trophyless. You'd never hear United's board say that.


Maybe that's what we need to be questioning right now.

If they were corrupt then it would be very, very easy for Mason not to give those. We've seen plenty of blatant penalties not given.

Its just pure incompetence by the ref and everyone is suffering because of it.

Lads, fuck off with the ManUre ***** fest will you? :oops: - yes, all credit to them, but people are bitterly disappointed that another glimpse of a way back into the title race has been shut out again, and I find some of the comments on here (praising ManUre and digging the boot into The Arsenal - for a change :roll: ) just disgusting in the circumstances.

Utd have a winning mentality that comes from Fergie.Unlike Wenger he will not accept CL qualification as success.Utd's players are still hungry for trophies even though they have won loads over the years.We reward are non trophy winning players with massive long term contracts.The board and Wenger are both to blame

Shit team with bottlers, a dodgy keeper and Scott Parker loses to Better team with winners,dodgy keeper and Gibson/Smalling. :roll:

In 6 years we now resemble the Hammers more so than United, there's nothing like a bit of progress. :shock:

By 5pm next Saturday we'll be 4th and will stay there battling it out with the filth till the last game of the season hoping the dippers, CSKA London and Shitty help us out against the filth. :oops: :(

If only coming fifth would change things, I suspect it will not as the decent players will go and we will be left with the ones we want to f'off any way. :evil:

A season that could should lead to at least 1 trophy, if not 2 is going to end with a 4th place spot AGAIN if we are lucky. Kind of makes that season ticket hike worthwhile eh :roll: :banghead:

That pen on Upson was a hit pen though - kicked at him point plank from almost over the goal-line and he wasn't even facing play behind him. You don't try to even things out just because - and that's what happened there becuase I don't know how the lino can see that even from where he is.

But if the pen was harsh Upson more than made for it with is defending on the last goal. Pathetic barely begins....
