My City supporting mate admits United are the bestest team ever and City will never ever ever be anywhere near as good.
I had never seen that before, quite interesting... Sunderland most negatively affected, and it turns out Pulis is the one handing brown envelopes
Lol they locked that corruption thread.
They are some real whoppers there. It's a sickening display..

I do like their kit, though. I wish we'd sign with Umbro.
I'd like to at least try get into a grown up discussion with them about what they're saying.
To explain that decisions go both ways. Yes we've had a lot of luck down the years, Mendes' goal being disallowed, amongst others. But let's not forget the ones we've had against us, such as Newcastle's penalty.
I'd also like us to point out to them, that most of what they're saying about the league being corrupt (more so, Fergie being corrupt), is libellous, unless they have proof of such outrageous allegations, which I highly doubt they do.
In fact, anyone from BM reading this, please, provide us with your proof that Sir Alex Ferguson is corrupt, by making payments to the FA, or something similar. Go on.

How about the phantom handball against Carrick in the game against Chelsea at the end of the 2009-10 season, Ballack converted and they won the game 2-1 and the league by a point.
Who cares what they think.
You got a things up here, the handball was at the end of 07/08 season and we ended up winning the title anyways, in 09/10 we lost at home to chelsea because of Drogba's offside goal which made it 2-0, but then we pulled one back (perhaps unfairly, it still didn't make it fair considering we had to come back from 2 down at that stage).
Good memory, thanks!
I remember at least one decision that went against us at Old Trafford this season. Newcastle had a penalty when Rio executed a perfect tackle to nick the ball of Hatem Ben Arfa. They scored and we dropped two points.
As Fergie said, the decisions tend to "balance themselves" out throughout the season.

That's about the only one in five fecking years - that's why you can remember it.
Perhaps more teams would be wrongly awarded penalties against us at OT if they actually came with some belief that they could win. For example, in the ten minutes Fulham decided to attack, they could have had a penalty, perhaps if they'd used the other 80 minutes, they'd have had eight more?
I'm surprised of all people you're picking up on this. Following a big side you must realise that your team has more of the ball, and naturally will get more opportunities for penalties, which means more right decisions, and more wrong decisions. Being at home and being shouted at by 70,000 fans will surely sway your opinion somewhat.
Too many northern refs. They offer them some free whippet racing and there's no pen v Man Utd at OT.
Things will always favour big teams not because they are corrupt but because they are usually pretty good teams.
A team that gets players into the penalty box a lot will tend to get more penalties than teams that dont get players into the penalty box.
For the record, I think that Fulham should have had a penalty last night but they were (comparatively) rarely inside the United penalty area.
Watching any match and seeing the speed that Valencia gets into the box......theres always a penalty chance.
Even last night on TV, there was an audible air of expectation every time Valencia, Young or Evra got into the penalty area.

I thought it was a dive, I must be one of the only ones.
Worse, Pete - Scholsey's offside goal against Porto that weren't.
Mourinho wins the CL and changes the game with the Russian's billions.
You lot would have still been at the races if it weren't for that one.
Only WBA have had more penalties against them at home than us this season.
I think there are cases for and against penalties. People who say this was a penalty and the penalties we got against Chelsea weren't are hypocrites. They were all dubious to me.
Its pretty obvious these bitter idiots like the City fans, Pete , Gillespie need to be ignored.
Were the Man City fans saying the same when they were top? No.
The Arsenal fans always have something against United no matter what yet most people here try and support at every opportunity possible these days.

Ugh, don't even remind me about that disgrace of a game
Plus a red card for PIG when both Rooney and Anderson were covering...
That was basically their only attack the entire game. A counter off of a freekick deep in Portsmouth's half where we had Anderson and Rooney back covering. Bullshit
It's also a game where we had a good penalty shout turned down...
Look at Arsenal. Been the same case for quite a while now.
Though the table says 28matches, so they haven't counted Everton offside & Fulham penalty, so WBA will be bottom, & United will be just 2 points ahead.
going purely off my dodgy memory of United matches, I'd say the team that benefits most at home are the dippers. Dennis Irwin getting sent off by twat Elleray, Cole getting seven shades kicked out of him by Song and getting red-carded when he finally snapped. The things Carragher routinely gets away with against us and probably anyone else defies belief at times: Owen hauled back, tried to cut Carrick in half and unforgettably the asault on Nani with that piece of shit Stevie Forehead, of all people, telling him to get up....and that's off the top of my head.

Quite interesting.
When did we last get a penalty at your place? Not that we usually need them

There's something delightful about the team who have effectively sponsored themselves to bypass FFP moaning about corruption.
Bitter as ever I see.
Oh well, I suppose 7 years without a trophy would make some folk incredibly bitter.
Me too. Contact was so minimal. 10 years ago Murphy would have been cruxified for blatent diving.
Anyone remember the abuse Franny Jeffers got for going down in the box for Arsenal vs Liverpool a few years back?
Unfortunatly its not diving anymore, its "clever play".
Most teams get little possession in the final third at Old Trafford. I can't believe people keep bringing this shit up lol. It's not corruption. We're just better.
Dipper receives ball, enters area, abruptly stops with oppo immed behind, the dreaded "contact", falls.
Inquiry. Justice.

It is a well-known fact that people from Northumberland are all United fans....
Penalties conceded by Arsenal at home last 5 seasons = 11
Penalties conceded by United at home last 5 seasons = 9
and my City supporting pals admit they are a plastic club with no soul and they owe everything to their sugar daddy. True story.
I've got a City fan of a mate, he said the only corruption in the league is Abu Dhabi FC sponsoring themselves and trying to buy trophies. He also says, if anyone is paying off the refs, it's Balotelli. Cause he's such a LAD and ting.
And this is the end of the discussion...
I'm will to believe I would have wanted a penalty had it been my team, honestly I'm not really sure. Perhaps that's how the ref felt, unsure, and thus no pen.
All my city mates are flaming homosexuals. This must mean they all are.
