In that commentary he talks about how Ferguson would go out and take that hit of a fine to criticise the referee and that they are the best spokespeople for such things. Ferguson stepped down from Man Utd in 2013, and over a decade later we are still talking about shit refereeing in the country...
I finally listened to the entire after match commentary with Neville, Carragher and Saha, and the prick Neville genuinely believes that managers voices are the most potent way call out bad referees, but we've had over a deade of managers criticising refereeing decisions and nothing has changed...
I said this kind of thing long before we were in such a position to return to the Premier League. You do want to be at the top table playing the best, but at the same time you know that you are going to be stuck in a perpetual position of battling over the crumbs left after the richest clubs...
Someone posted the number of penalties this season per team. 5 of the top 6 are in that big six. Chelsea have gotten 12, Liverpool and Arsenal both had 9, and both Manchester teams 6. Only Spurs are joint with us on 1, but I consider Spurs more on Newcastle's level.
Well, so much for a club on the up. All that hope and passion ripped away within a single season. Partially by the organisations of the Premier League, partially by a weak ass team on the pitch that cannot defend set pieces, and also by the owners making ludicrous decisions.
Stags in 3rd played MK Dons in 4th and ran away 4-1 winners to open up a 5 point gap to 4th with MK Dons only having 2 matches to play and with Stags having a massive, pretty much insurmountable goal difference over MK Dons. All but guaranteed a spot in League One next year.
