Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: "We had some Geordie heroes, who showed they can compete with one of the best teams in Europe.

"Rio Ferdinand played the ball and the penalty was fortunate for us, but we have a resilience in this team.
 
NUFC fan in peace.

We agree that wasn't a Pen, no doubt.
And it wasn't like our players were swarming the ref, Was the other way around in fact.

Saying we cheated is harsh.
 
Ben Arfa did not dive or anything, yes it was not a penalty but he did not dive or appeal for the penalty so it was not cheating. We deserved the point, we defended very very well, your goal was lucky and the freekick that caused it was very dubious. Not to mention Rooney should of got sent off. We played better in the first half than you did and in the second half you attacked much more but we defended better.

Your point is?

That we have an honest manager maybe?
 
how on earth did newcastle cheat???? we may have had a soft decision go in our favour but that is not cheating....you will well know that for a decision to go in the visitors favour at old trafford is rare. You had chances to score after to make the penalty irrelevant but because of some lazy finishing but primarily strong defending and an excellent goalie, man utd were again able to take three points off the teams around them.

sorry...that should have read "UNABLE to take points off the teams around them"
 
Terrible account for Man U fans in here. The penalty shouldn't have been given, but on merit we deserved a draw for general play over the 90 minutes. Man U's goal was a tad on the fortunate side too, if Saylor left it then Krul would have had that covered. Rooney kicked Coloccini, obviously hasn't learnt from his experience against Montenegro, but this time he got VERY lucky to not even be carded. The game evened itself out and the result was bang on when the final whistle went for what both teams deserved.
 
Okay, it seems to boil down to this

1. Rooney was not disciplined for kicking Colocinni when he easily could have been;

2. You were awarded 2 free kicks leading up to your goal, when you might not have been

3. You were outrageously lucky for your goal, which was nonetheless perfectly valid

4. We were awarded a penalty which we might not have been

5. You had a goal disallowed when you might not have been

You add all that up and there's not much in it. The end result is that with what perhaps amounts to a net bit of bad luck, you couldn't beat us at home.

You are a very good team. You're just not what you used to be. Life's like that
 
A few Man Utd fans being bitter fools here.

Get over it, you never complain when decisions go your way(happened majority of the game today) 99% of the time.

I think the offside goal, has been proven to be obviously offside, even most the Sky pundits admitted it.
 
Christ. What a bunch of ****ing whingers. Sorry for the cliché but this it what happens in football, you Man Utd fans amongst anyone should know this considering the amount of dubious decisions that have gone your way over the years.

And we did not cheat. Do you really expect our players to say it wasn't a penalty? Would you expect your players to do the same thing? Also, Ben Arfa did not dive. Rio's challenge went into Ben Arfa. There's no way he couldn't have gone over.
 
So when a decision goes our way rival fans all come out with their pathetic conspiracy theories but when a decision goes against us we're supposed to just ignore it.
