Post match comment after the Champions League semi v Arsenal
Of course this will be biased…..
The pivotal moment was when Man Utd were 1-0 up on the day (2-0) on aggregate. Ronaldo dives and wins a free kick, John O’Shea pushes the end of the wall out of the way and Ronaldo scores a “wonder goal”. It’s all a cheat - but will you see an account of this in the press? I think not - please correct me if I’m wrong. At 1-0 down on the night Arsenal could have rallied and the result (especially with the home crowd still interested) could have been so different.
To cap it off I’m in the newsagents and I see a front page banner image on The Sun (I could be wrong to the newspaper as I cannot find it on their website, but it was one of the tabloids) of Ronaldo with arms out stretched (representing the Crucifixion) and the text “Cristiano Almighty” - an obvious reference to God or Jesus Christ status. This is just too bloody much! Religious heresy - comments please!!!!
I’m aware Man Utd fans feel aggrieved at the ref - but one player missing the final or all of them is the argument I’m putting up here.
As a foot note I read that an Arsenal fan took his own life after the match.

I will start off by saying that yes I do feel affrieved because Fletcher has been fantastic for us in the CL this season and he should be able to play in the final.
As for the “cheating” Arsenal players dived as well so it pretty much cancelled it out. I do not agree with diving or cheating aswell but both teams had one or two players who did it.
