Nah, he's just a fat feck.
He's always one of those refs that wants to be at the centre of attention. He loves a controversial decision and spending ages over booking players - loves to see himself as part of the action. He's a prick.
do you think it is also possible they get very good players and make them average?
We play better football with Welbeck.
Barbatov's goals against Fulham (in a 5-0 win) and Wigan (with 10 men) don't change anything.
We play better with Welbeck and/or Hernandez. Berbatov is our fourth choice striker and this game won't change it.
Doesn't matter who tbh.
Nah. We should try to close the gap in GD on City. Against ten men and City seemingly having trouble away to West Brom, maybe there won't come a better chance around soon.
You mean motivationally?
he will come off on the 60th imo.
That's my point.He's one of our most important players and this game is already won
Well, what can I say, it wasn't a red and i'd be livid if it was one of our players - but having said that, these things even themselves out over the course of the season - its true. So we shouldn't complain about that penalty that Newcastle got, but instead lets just accept Dowd's decision and open arms. And smash a few more past them, of course.
Just in lads. Who scored. Who's playing well?
showing highlights on my steam, great goal from AdamSuarez is probably worth that amount tbf.
back on topic.
I think we had enough on the bench to step it up if needed. Dont think the result was in too much danger.
But if Wigan go on to lose after this, they'll feel very hard done by. Sucks when that happens.
Gah Dowd. Just do your job right man.

Welbeck is better suited to play with Rooney and the rest of the team and there lies the rub.
The fact that Berbatov is a better player is irrelevant almost as we will think of what's best for the team.
No surprise to me Berbatov is playing well without Rooney.
Look at the man's ponch and you have your answer.
I don't think that the goal difference really matters to be honest with you. If we can't win it on points, then we don't deserve it.
Is GD that important ? Has it ever decided a title ?
I think we should go out second half , all guns blazing.
We need to get the goal diff down.
I dont expect City to finish 0-0 , we need to score more than they do.

It has I think, once.
poor tactics is what I was thinking.
Also this whole mentality that they are really the best team/club in the world when they have not proved that for years must put enormous pressure on these new players.
Welbz for Nani if we can get a 3rd or after 60-ish
Shame we dont have the luxury to rest Carrick/Evra. Hope we control it enough for them not to be too involved

It doesn't. But its always a nice card for Fergie to play come the run in if we're ahead. All that "extra point" bollocks.
Also, almost always, the team with the best GD wins the league (I think).
It decided the title between Arsenal & Liverpool in 91 I think
Him and Giggs should go off after 60 mins
Rafael to come on and Valencia to go back to his normal position
no I dont think it has , but this season it could make a big difference.
Fryers on for Evans .
wow
wow
1989.
Evans injured?
Good God I hope Evans isn't injured.
feck, Evans injured...
Fryers on.
1989, actually.
Oh, and it was by "scored goals", not GD, both Arsenal and Liverpool were on +37.
It won us the league in 2008, perhaps not technically, but it's 100% why we took the title.
Agreed, we have a substantial goal difference to close, sorry Wigan, but our need is greater than yours...
Well, Wigan are with 10 men and had a striker sent off, I can see why Fergie is using the opportunity to rest our one fit centerhalf. Hopefully it doesn't backfire, but really we should have more than enough to score more.
Despite having 5 quality centre backs, none of them are fit. Brilliant.
Fergie in the Wigan technical area
Noone has the balls to tell him that

I hope Evans coming off is to protect him from getting sent off rathern than an injury.
Di Santo on for Diamé for Wigan.
