Rio Ferdinand believes that referees are reluctant to give Manchester United penalties thanks to certain comments in the media.

I am utterly speechless. Regardless of whether you believe there was a penalty against Everton yesterday, how can he come up with something as hypocritical as that. There is little doubt anymore that United are by and far the most supported team by the referees and the things Ronaldo, Rooney, Ferdinand and Scholes get away with is unbelievable. On top of that, Ronaldo himself has probably dived his way into more penalties than Everton have got for two seasons.

On the other hand, it makes me happy to see the Mancs upset. :D

dear god, did he really say that? i think he may well be still dabbling.

Rio Ferdinand rightly believes that referees are reluctant to give penalties against Manchester United thanks to the fact that 99.9% of referees are sh*t-scared of Old Red Nose.

Is what he meant to say.

I was going to say thats unbelievable but sadly it is just too believable. How many conspiracy theories can you fit into a downwardly spiralling run of form.
