I think that around mid Season when the rest of the country including the Press realised that City were the team to beat is when the decisions started to get at first a little 'dodgy' and then has the season progressed the decisions have become more and more bizarre by the week.
I am not one for there being an 'agenda', but we have all seen for ourselves in the last several months that week after week United are being given every possible assistance from the officials in each game they are involved.
As for City I will only list three instances that have stood out for me but as we all know there have been many, many more which can be listed.
David Silva 'penalty' not given against Chelsea, Ref had clear view, all who watching know it was a clear penalty yet not seen that way by Ref - Kompany challenge on Nani which no one including United players (except Wooney) even claimed, Wooney gestures to the Ref ' 2 footed challenge' and the Ref somehow reaches for the Red card - and to our last game against Norwich, Tevez has his foot stamped on which the Ref has an absolute perfect view but reaches for his Yellow card and books him for diving whilst Young clearly puts his foot into the defenders to trip himself up with the most theatrical of dives and is somehow given as a penalty to United (the decision against Shaun Derry was wrong in so many ways) and again the Ref has a perfect view.
Like I said there are many more that we could all list.
And please lets not buy into the biggest lie ' luck with referring decisions evens itself out'. Yes even United have not been given some decisions (the penalty given to Newcastle, for example), but these kind of decisions are the odd 1 in every 10 for United, but the decisions given for United are in every game without any exceptions (in my opinion the same as last season).
Without the decisions I honestly believe we could be at least 10 points or more clear and United would be fighting 2nd/3rd.
