Thats why I said 99 not 100. Every now and again, miracles do happen.

Well then i expect the ref to be fired from his post in the next few days for favouring one team. However i very much doubt that will be happening

Invariably Man U get them over any other opponent. Including Chelsea and us in 99% of cases
That's what you said, so if we get 99% of the decisions, that must mean we get everything given to us against you, which is wrong.

Not directly. But he was clearly influenced by whatever Fergie said.

We were talking about decisions where the ref was influenced by the idea of who would experience the effects. My claim was that these 2 decisions were genuinely wrong, not considered by the ref as the best option for the big guys.
The 99% is in your favor against all clubs. Not just us.

And the time wasn't changed just because Fergie said so, do you really think an official would change time just because a manager said so? If so the way Fridel was playing yesterday if i was Fergie i'd have told the ref to add on a good 30 minutes. Watch the game, there was enough stoppages to warrant a 4 minute added on, actually more than that. But hey Elvis is still alive and swimming with aliens

So where do you get the 99% of decisions get given to us while playing against you then?

But I don't think the Lauren thing was given to us. I think the ref was generally unwilling to produce a red, as was shown all ready that day by another ref. The ref had continued to do so previous to that offence, to penalise Hoyte and give a pen.

My point exactly. However I believe both of these decisions were genuine by the officials. Not influenced by a "affecting one of the biggies" brain waves.
and the Henry offside rubs out the Sol red card

My point was that you said that the big clubs get the decisions. Invariably Man U get them over any other opponent. Including Chelsea and us in 99% of cases. It wasn't so long ago that Sol got a straight red, whilst playing against you, for doing nothing more than any other player does.

I can't deny that he should have been off. I can argue that the referee made the wrong decision instead of chosing the wrong decision. After all, we've seen red cards lost in the ref's deep pockets before. Look at Sorensen earlier that afternoon.

I made no implication that we had won them back to back.
However we have won more than one.
