I also believe it'll be United.
They have the experience of finishing may times, plus the pressure is firmly on City now, and they've potentially 3 tough matches coming up

How about the blatant handball by Fulham in the first half, no Pen given either so it evened itself out

Newcastle earlier this season.... which shouldn't have been a penatly.

And yep, Utd should have had a penalty in the first half, no comments from the ABU's about that one.

I can't help wonder - are you trying to wind yourself up or something.

I know what you mean especially as he leaned down into the cross, maybe he was hoping to nod it out for a corner

Point being it goes both ways, and as mentioned earlier it was a pen for Fulham, just not disguised as wel as the one in the first half

Wrong, as pointed out by Moley. It was against Blackburn on new years eve, also Newcastle in November and also one against Arsenal when we beat them 8-2 at the beginning of the season.

It's one of the biggest myths in football that penalty's don't get given against United. (The other myth is that Liverpool will win it next year)

If this is correct then obviously there is something sinister going on with referees when they visit Old Trafford.
The Fulham "penalty" was not given because the referee choose not to - even though he had a perfect unobstructed view. Suspect .

To have found Tenby's quote you must have gone past azz250478's spelling out when pens have been awarded at OT THIS season.
So it's not correct.

But hey whilst going down the idiot conspiracy route, Liverpool, Man City, and Spurs have had less pens awarded against them than Man Utd, therefore all of football is obviously corrupt!!!!!

Next Millenium is probably the closest I could hazard a guess


Looking forward to the day they pass the 26 year mark and motor on up to 30 + which will happen with ease

4 years and counting

United will take it, City will bottle it and don't have the experience. Also it will show them owners you can't buy the title!

Looks like following on behind is the preferred practice at Man Citeh as today's "Balotelli is bonkers" news item involves him stirring Wayne's porridge ...eeuuwww

Although i follow Utd i find myself embarrassed by Ashley Youngs blatant dive.
The Ref was truly awful and i can't figure out why Raphael was booked - hand ball?
Although it would never happen, i would love to see players like Young receive a 1 match ban for his actions.
