Us and Arsenal have had to put up with it for years but tonight you've had a taster.
3 dodgy penalties they have had against us this season, THREE!
People constantly say that United scoring late on in games isn't coincidence, well that's fine but nor is the proportion of "50/50" decisions that go in their favour.
Tonight was the turning point. If United had dropped points tonight City would have still had a chance, now I see no way United won't win it. City would be ahead if United's games vs WBA, Chelsea and Fulham had been refereed fairly.
And nobody has mentioned the fact Barry was clearly fouled before the Crouch goal (and also before our goal vs you). Barry's challenge on the Stoke player was never a pen in a million years, MOTD pundits got that completely wrong.
This is what you are up against

like last week at blackburn where we were denied a penalty for clear handball in the area and hanley wasn't sent off despite elbowing scholes in the face?

A thousand times eh, try twice dipshit!
United have had some spectacular decisions recently just admitt it.
------------------------------------------
Yes cos I was being serious when I meant 1000 times!
We have had a few lucky decisions recently but also many more have gone against us. The fact we win many of our games means they get forgotten!
Must hurt. City have apparently been playing the best football, scoring the most goals all season but are 8 points behind United having been 5 in front! Please tell me how that is all down to the refereeing?
Like I said, City didn't even get a shot on target against Arsenal in 90 minutes on Sunday! Embarrasing!

A few lucky decisions try thousands.

We had seven shots in the game against arsenal not good but not embarasing.
If that were your lot the red would have helped out I'm sure.

Yes but you didn't hit the target once!!!
Loz you're failing to realise that it's your team that have thrown this title away, not the officials winning it for United!

Never said united are winning the tittle because of refs just they get a hell of a lot of favourable decisions.
I know we are to blame for our own downfall.
United still get the rub of the green from decisions.

OK we were lucky against QPR. Never a sending off. Can see how a pen was given as there was contact and have seen softer contact concede a penalty (although Young is embarrasingly guilty of diving and should be punished). I remember Adam Johnson going down easy to win City a pen not too long ago.
Blackburn we were lucky not to concede a penalty but also unlucky not to earn one for handball and also probably a red card for Hanley's challenge on Scholes. I think we would have won the Blackburn game anyway. We were all over Fulham and deserved a win. Their defence was excellent but they should have had a penalty.
Aside from those in the last two games, I can't remember much more this season.
But Chelsea do always seem to get a lot of luck too when it comes to fortunate decisions.
But it's not affected the title in my eyes.

Why did you run away from the other article Loz? Don't like it when United fans list decisions against us, do you?
Doesn't fit in with your little conspiracy.

cityblueloz is your typical abu who believes the myths that the media put out and then goes around regurgitating them. sadly, facts are lost on these people.
