If you remember before the Sunderland game Pardew spoke about the referee and Barton and he recieved a fine for this. Alex Ferguson has spoke about Man Utd's game at Bolton and is saying the referee should protect De Gea (because he is soft as **** and can't handle being challenged for the ball?). He even goes on to say that De Gea is bound to get better treatment while critisizing the referee from the game against West Brom for not protecting him enough. I posted this because this will probably be brushed under the carpet despite Pardew getting a fine for commenting about a referee before a game. I hope the FA actually do fine him because it is very rare that Ferguson is actually challenged about what he says.
