A post that makes sense
"Really don't get this away penalties at Old Trafford bollocks.
Most teams go to Old Trafford and defend and spend very little time in the United penalty area so it's no surprise that very few penalties are given.
Penalties aren't that common either.
A pretty meaningless statistic imo."
This is my favourite post though.
"people on here make me laugh.
Listen its a dodgy stat end of. 6 penalties in 14 years is ridiculous whichever way you cut it.
Bottom line is referees are too shit scared at OT and have been since the formation of premier league and since United become a world superpower among teams. As i've said before over the years, who do refs want to upset, Ferguson or the likes of Roy Evans, Houllier, Benitez, Ranieri, Alardyce etc etc the list goes on, but you damn well know the answer.
The state of the football nation is rotten and just watching todays Bolton Man Utd game was testimony to that. Bolton only got the decisions once they were out of it and it was a generous pen. On top of that Ronaldo has everyone so scared of his diving antics no bastard on the opposition will tackle or get near him. the defending today from bolton was schoolboy. No tight marking, no tracking back, too much backing off, no picking up of men, nothing.
Yeah Ronaldo is brill lets all bow down, but he is when the opposition dont put a foot in and on any of his mates. But rollback a few weeks to anfield and yeah we lost, but we got into them, we threw in the challenges and as a result they relied on a poxy effort. Giggs, Ronaldo and Rooney where no where to be seen, Giggs never got a touch, ronaldo got mashed by Sissoko and Carra and Rooney limped off.
Its a sad state of affairs when the opposition give up before the game as kicked off which is what happened today at OT."
