Seem to remember him shafting Spurs too when they were still a title threat. The fact it happened to benefit us is by the by, you can bet your bottom dollar that it was done for Uniteds advantage.
Of all the decisions that have gone United's way over the last few weeks, the one I can't get over is the disallowed goal at Wigan.
There’s been a big increase in players 'blocking off' opposing keepers at corners this season. Not sure who started it, but you now see it at every corner, by every team, in every game. Disallowing a resulting goal would be a very good way to stop it. But if this had been a directive to referees, we would have seen at least 20-30 disallowed goals this season. I'm not aware of a single time it’s happened.
Then, the FIRST time a goal is disallowed for 'blocking off', it's a crucial goal against United at a crucial stage of the season.
I try not to believe in conspiracies
(and most decisions do even themselves out) but I just can't get over how weird this one is.
