    Weren't Chelsea still in the race as of this morning? Doesn't sound like a distance tbh. Lady Luck was smiling on Utd today. How Bennett didn't give the first peno shout I'll never know. If Bennett never refereed another Utd match again, at least I could take something out of today. :o

    These things tend to even themselves out over the course of a season. Were Chelsea not given the dodgiest of penalties at Anfield

    What about the stone waller on Scholes that wasnt given!?

    Yea he could have been sent off in the first but most refs exercise common sense and give him a final warning, he was in the Wigan half and Palacios wasnt exactly going anywhere, could have been a second yellow with no complaints but nice to see refs occasionally errr on the side of cop on. Also the first booking whilst it looked bad, he did get the ball. Either way, we won it 2 nil, |I couldnt give a sh1te what the bitters have to say!!


    He's won it 10 times,
    He's won it 10 times,
    That boy Giggsy,
    He's won it 10 times!

    Of course utd fans are going to say that, fact is it was a bookable offence and he had no problem sending Mascherano off. If he even gave one of those decisions properly it would of totally changed the complexion of the match. Utd would of had to score 2 or score with 10 men, totally different kind of match you have there.

    Mascherano was sent off for persistent moaning. It was only a matter of time.

    Oh and United would only have had to score one had Wigan been given a penalty and had they scored it!

    they didn't seem to have a problem last week against 10 men and arguably a better side.

    You're a Liverpool fan, am I right? Why does it bother you so much. You were out of the title race by Xmas. Or are you that concerned with Chesea being hard done by?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Where is the outrage over the decision at Anfield earlier this season when Chelsea's Malouda won a penalty for a foul on Steve Finnan that clearly wasn't a foul? This allowed Lampard to score the resulting penalty and earn a point.

    Clearly Rob Styles changed the whole complexion of the title race!

    But wait, United still won the league. Jeez, it's almost as if United deserved it! :eek:

    I didnt say they were ahead by a distance, i said they were the best team by a distance, which is a very difficult thing to say as a Chelsea fan. United have been so impressive this season, both teams have had their slip ups, but they have been so much more impressive for the most part. To end up only 2 points behind certainly flatters Chelsea, we have scraped through result after result while United have been dishing out ass whoopin's left right and center.
    Ive had all the slagging matches with my United mates over the past few months but I have always said in the end that they are the stronger team this year and are very worthy winners, all the blue tinted shades in the world wont change that.

    But i still say Wigan were robbed today!!!:p

    True but I'd be willing to wager United winning two more before Liverpool win their next.

    Well done United, cant take it away from them, they were the best team by a distance all season. However, im sure after todays performance the jerseys with "Bennett - 12" on the back will be flying off the shelves lol:D
    By denying us a stone wall penalty?? :confused:

    Anyway... CHAMPIONS!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Lol can't believe there's so many bitter fans out there. United completely deserve the title on the season as a whole. Of course Chelsea should be commended for their late surge but the league is won over 38 games and not 20.

    Most goals, best defence etc etc so for anyone to say that the odd favourable refereeing decision gave them the title is crazy. Let them enjoy it and hopfully it'll be the last for a while! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,452 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Congratulations. The best team won, at the end of the day.

    Ha ha nah unlike most around here I have the ability to overlook my personal bias and compliment a team on a deserved victory. Over the season United were the best team, well for 36 games they were, and speaking of which.....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,714 ✭✭✭ciaran76


    Well done to United. They deserved the title.

    I think the momentum will carry them on to win the Champs League too.
