Would love to know who wrote or said that? CWL I'm not 100% sure but it was definitely one of yesterday's redtops. Possibly Martin Lipton in the Sunday Mirror. The article was headlined "Ten things we learned from watching Man U vs Man City". IMO it illustrated the fact that yet again Man U were outplayed during long periods only to win the match. No mean feat in a competitive league.

It's what makes them Champions when others will only ever be contenders. CWL

I sign of a champion side is to win when they're not playing well, which ManU have done several times this season. I'm a fully paid up member of the ABC club (anyone but Chelsea) but I don't think that will happen this season, they had over twenty attempt on goal last night and didn't score.

Complete joke, but what could you expect from the FA who is a joke themselves already?

Had this incident been reversed with Rooney on the receiving end. I'm convinced James McCarthy would have seen a red card followed by a lengthy ban imposed by the FA. There may be one set of laws but hells teeth how they apply to different teams is amazing. CWL

Looks like FA could do nothing because Mark Clatterclown said he made the right decision.

Just imagine if it had been Barton. The FA are probably itching to get him banned.

You can understand why so many Wigan fans just walked out when you see the old pals act between Rooney and the ref! Okay they are rubbish, but that display just rubs salt in the wound. CWL

It makes you wonder what would have happened if Purplenose hadn't introduced the words "Rooney witch hunt" into the equation. And now Cole is let off for shooting a supporter with an air rifle. Money talks. Are you listening Ashley?

Are Manure still paying the fine each time Fergie refuses to do an interview with the BBC? CWL

More on the Manure front regarding Fergie...........................this from ESPN. The FA have charged Sir Alex Ferguson for improper conduct after comments directed at referee Martin Atkinson following Manchester United's defeat to Chelsea. Ferguson has until 4pm on Tuesday, March 8 to respond to the charge, which relates to comments made about Atkinson immediately after Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat. The United boss was fuming at Atkinson over his failure to dismiss Chelsea goalscorer David Luiz for clear fouls on Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney after the Brazilian had already been booked. To compound that frustration Atkinson then awarded Chelsea what he considered a ''soft'' penalty when Yuri Zhirkov fell under Chris Smalling's challenge. Although Ferguson's comments to host broadcaster Sky Sports are not thought to have overstepped the mark, those to United's in-house TV station MUTV have caused concern. ''You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that,'' said Ferguson. ''I must say, when I saw who the referee was I feared it. I feared the worst.'' The Football Association asked MUTV for footage of the interview to check the context in which Ferguson delivered the words. And, even though he immediately soften his stance, altering the word 'fair' to 'strong', disciplinary chiefs feel there is sufficient malice to warrant charging him in a week when Wayne Rooney escaped further punishment for elbowing James McCarthy at Wigan last week. Even Ferguson accepted his star striker had been ''fortunate''. The Scot, who has decided not to hold a press conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League match with Liverpool, has not been so lucky and unless he can persuade the FA of his innocence, is facing a lengthy period away from the dug-out. Ferguson already has two matches of a four-game ban still hanging over him following his ill-advised comments about Alan Wiley last season, when he implied the official was not fit enough for his job. Those games will be triggered if guilt is established, which would condemn him to the stands for United's FA Cup sixth-round tie with Arsenal at Old Trafford on March 12, plus the Premier League encounter with Bolton seven days' later. Punishment for his latest indiscretion would be added. CWL
