We posted on this earlier this season but it may just be me, but After Van Nistelrooys 3rd penalty in two games, this is starting to take the pisss again. They are quick to point out that van Nistelrooy has converted 18 or 19 penalties and not missed one, but not the fact that all those penalties have occured in 1.75 years. That is a rate of just over 10 penalties a season which if you think about it is half way to putting you a good way up the top scorers charts. I don't even think this accounts for all the penalties either, i remember Beckham taking one when Vaan Nistelrooy was burnt out at the end of last season and there are probably a few other ones i can't remember that were taken when he was off the pitch. I'm not saying they don't deserve them but it does seem that when ever there is an element of doubt the decision always seems to go the way of united.

Sorry, you must be thinking of Francis Jeffers dive count.

Its no surprise Man Utd get the most amount of penalties when they are one of the most attacking teams in the league.

That tackle from bramble was a penalty some of them were obviously not good decisions...
