Man Utd boss blames official
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was an angry man after the 3-3 draw at Chelsea despite his team’s dramatic fightback from three down.
He was furious United were not given a penalty when the game was finely poised at 0-0.
Gary Cahill appeared to foul Danny Welback but referee Howard Webb did not award a spot-kick.
“It’s two points dropped because we played so well, other than the 10 minutes after half-time. It’s not easy getting back from 3-0 down – that’s a massive effort from my players,” Ferguson told Sky Sports.
“It was a sending off. The linesman has given two penalties against us at Old Trafford in the last two years – one against Arsenal and one against Liverpool – from 45 yards away, but he can’t see that? I don’t blame Howard Webb. I blame the assistant.”

Howard webb was very bias in his officiating. Two penalties in a crucial game that can never happen in el classico. Man u got two penalties against stoke and another two against chelsea. Not very good performance from the players but they do get favours from the officials

Man U is not a good team,it’s too bad for a team like that to be given two underserved penalties.For Ferguson u’re senseless,why ur players are stupid,FA are crazy for giving Webb the chance to reffeer the match against chelsea.I’ve watched man u for the past 5years they always win the league for them.I’m still sure they will win this league for them,pls let’s keep watching and see wat gonna happen.Chelsea welldone.TUALLY.
