That's bollocks and you know it. The media wankfest over Manure is sickening, especially by Murdoch and his lackeys. Fergie has been allowed to get away with absolute murder while criticising referees, fourth officials and what not (remember his comments on Alan Wiley and Martin Atkinson). Fergie time has been well documented. All of this takes the sheen of a fantastic achievement by someone who turned a bunch of sloths into one of the most potent forces in club football in 24 years. Fergie is a great manager but a sorry excuse of a human being. And do not get me started on the prawn-sandwich eating brigade. The biggest lump of numpties ever. Just trawl through BBC 606 or various other message boards and the mancs (the glory hunters not you mate) arrogance blazes through. Manure players aren't exactly paragons of virtue- Beckham, Neville, Cantona, Ronaldo, Anderson, Nani...to name a few have scandal sheets over a mile long. So please spare the condescension.
As a United fan I have to admit that SAF is the biggest moaner in the League, but is it moaning or is it just wanting to fight for the team he manages and wanting to get the right decisions for his team on and off the pitch and if he did not do all the moaning ,I would be on his back wanting to know why he was not questioning the bad decisions that we get. Just as much as the other club fans want their manager to rant and moan at other managers. I think every other clubs get as much as dodgy decision as we do, At the end of the day a Liverpool or chelsea manager will always blast a Man Utd manager and a Manchester United manager will blast a Liverpool or chelsea manager, the same with the fans, its fun winding the opposition up, long may it last.
I agree that SAF went too far with his comments, but he didn't say Wiley had made glaring errors or been biased or unfair towards us, he just said he couldn't keep up with the game and took too long over things because of his fitness. He has since apologised and clarified his comments, saying he feels the refrees need to be generally fitter to keep up with the pace our our game and please dont talk about atkinson he is one of the worst referee in premier league.
The atmosphere at OT is sometimes bad, but we all know that its because of the high price tickets as only high class people can afford it. Just look at the our away support i would say it is the best in England for sure.
