I wonder how much the ref got bunged not to give a penalty for Fulham last night ?

I'm glad I;m not a city fan, i;d be tearing my hair out.

Apart from the penalty that Newcastle got at OT early in the season?

How much did the ref get bunged for GIVING Newcastle one at OT? Or how much the ref got bunged when City got one a few weeks back when Barry basically kicked a defender and went down and got a pen? Just sayin'...

I believe only WBA have had more penalties given against them at their own ground than United at Old Trafford this season.

Not sure if that works for the corruption conspiracy theorist though

I'm sure whoever it was doing the bunging took a substantial amount off it for not giving united a penalty for the handball earlier in the game.

What were your views on Howard Webb (Man U fan) 'bottling' the stonewall penalty for Stoke on Saturday vs city?

What a complete and utter bell Lee Catermole is. Bardsley as well, running across the entire pitch to bang his chest because Phil Neville shoulder barged Maclean.

Everton have been utterly superb here again. Is there a better defender in the Premier League than Silvain Distain? He's a rock. Fellaini is getting back to his dominating best in midfield and Everton have thoroughly dominated two of the form Premier League teams in that regard over the last few days in Swansea. Jelavic is looking good as well and another tidy display from Magaye Gueye. Still unbeaten with the mighty Darren Gibson in the side.

As for Sunderland it's hard to see where they've been doing well under O'Neil. They have nothing at all up front and their midfield is terrible. Is there a worse player in the Premier League than Lee Catermole? Utterly talentless.

So City fans, what is Mario Balotelli up to now? He apparently turned up to the unveiling of the new Inter Milan manager and interrupted the press conference to shake everyone's hand before departing.

Visiting old friends maybe? Or there for negotiations? Or is he just mentally unhinged?
