Hate Man Utd

On a sunny afternoon in England (for you supporters of Man Utd in far flung places that is the Country where Manchester is), we at hatemanutd did not watch the match, preferring the sunshine. Interestingly, a 3-1 win for Man Utd v Spurs was sealed with 2 penalties. Was this fair, no cheating??? At a key stage of the season when Spurs have recently beat Arsenal and Chelsea.

The BBC quote fends off any possibility…

 ”Spurs could have no complaints about the penalties awarded by referee Andre Marriner.”

Anyone see it differently…..?

Andre Marriner has fallen below our Ref detector so far, just thought we’d add him to the Categories section just in case he is not so squeaky clean (in the eyes of the BBC) in the future.

Prawn sandwich brigade.  Maybe old news but deserves a mention following the lack of support for Man Utd at home v Spurs when loosing 2-0 and the booing of Berbatov by Man Utd fans for the poor penalty v Everton in the FA cup semi final.

Spurs are 2-0 up at Old Trafford and the place resembles a morgue. Man Utd fan went silent - no passion, no support, the fans just turn up expecting to be entertained. Enter Howard Webb and a dodgy penalty decision to get the crowd interested. Man Utd go on to win

Disgrace all round.

Ben Foster admitted using an Ipod just prior to the penalty shoot out in the Carling Cup final with Spurs to research previous penalty strategies. OK the Manc lovers will point out it is research based on information available in the public domain. Yes it is, but being allowed access during the match, surely this is wrong or unsporting at least. Where will it stop? I assume Man Utd would object if the opposition delayed every free kick while the team aligned their wall based on a review of the last 5 Ronaldo free kicks taken in a certain area of the pitch.

 No action will be taken by the FA

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll told the Daily Mail on Monday that using iPod technology;

 “had the potential to exploit a loophole in the laws which should be referred to FIFA”.

Hands up if you think this is cheating?

Apparently so according to a report in The Sun. I know this might come as a surprise

Alex Ferguson has been described as a disgraceful, arrogant hypocrite by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. Tottenham reported Manchester United and boss Fergie to the Premier League for tapping up their star striker Dimitar Berbatov. Levy said: “It is unbelievably hypocritical given Ferguson’s recent comments about Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.”

This is typical of the arrogance Man United fans display……. …….
