Just got home, at the ground, was pretty sure it wasn't a penalty, got home and just watched it again and it's definitely not a penalty. Oh well, we've been done out of them at other times so I won't waste time worrying about it. Ironically, I thought when I saw Styles was ref that we'd never get a pen, he turned down about 5 stonewall ones from Ronaldo last season (one in particular I remember against Fulham). It's nothing to do with being United, it's just a poor decision.
Refereeing standards atm are pretty shocking. Mike Riley got away with an outrageous performance last week (and from whats been written on here again today). Styles has always been very, very poor.
Nice to see BBC 5 live went with their oh so neutral commentator of Alan Green for the derby today.
On to the game, good football from United especially in the second half, and especially on the break. Rooney's goal was class. Anderson was good, so was Rio, and thought Neville and Evra were pretty good as well. Really impressed by Berbatov today, looked like his upped his work rate massively, put through some telling balls, and got into some decent positions.
Anyway, time to update the Robbie Keane goal checker
Berbatov improved his work rate? That's a good sign. Shall watch MOTD tonight happily. Neville was pretty poor last week tbh. As was Rooney. Utd finally looking like a good team.
