This is precious. Wasn't Wiley the 4th. Official at the recent Derby? Did City lodged a complaint about his chummy behaviour with Fergie and his disdain for Sparky who didn't get the time of day from old wiley?
In the Guardian Today,

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson criticised referee Alan Wiley's fitness after his team's 2-2 home draw with Sunderland on Saturday.
"He was not fit enough for a game of that standard," said Ferguson. "The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit.
"It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs.
"We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit," he was quoted as saying on the Sky Sports website (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.skysports.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.skysports.com</a>).
Now now, Fergie you can't consider or treat every official or referee to be
'fit as a butcher's dogs'
According to <a class="postlink" href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/as-fit-as-a-butchers-dog.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/as-f ... s-dog.html</a>,
its a misnomer that just because a butcher's dog is well fed from scraps that its fit and can run. au contraire
Fergie needs to remember you can't term or consider every referee to be
fit as a running dog. To allude to that is to call to question or might label them
<a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_Dog" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_Dog</a> - èµ°ç‹— 'Zou Gou'.
Yes Fergie's post game deportment has gone 'Beyond the Pale' and I believe he is cracking up, just like MU is, with his grand ILLusion. A smoke and mirror illusion to hide the fact that it took a Richardson sendoff to enable a poor MU side to equalize. A dodgy call to tilt in MU's favour.
At least I'm cracking up with his grandiose allusion.
