Out of the host of decisions that have gone your way, including basically everything in the first half, including two separate yellow card offences by Young.
Typical Man Utd response, frankly.
You'll notice that my initial response to the dives was actually aimed at the media too, so you really don't have a point.
We haven't even talked about the ref blowing the whistle as Sunderland were about to score because two Man U players collided into each other.
Friend could just point to it being a clash of heads, but the drop-ball was rather handy for Utd.
Hard to see what else he could do though, to be fair.
Colback on for Rose? 
Wha...?!
Larsson should've been thrown on down the right and told to stick a few balls into the box. De Gea's rattled.
Edit: Missed Larsson's introduction. Now I know why he was on the bench!

United are just sitting back now and protecting a 1-0. Wonder if they'll be called boring by the media like Mourinho's Chelsea were? Doubt it.
I have to say when Adam Johnson moved from City to Sunderland, I was a bit annoyed as I saw him as being useful on the right for us if Lennon was injured.
Now he's had regular first team action at Sunderland, I'm now not overly bothered - I know Sunderland are pretty dire at the moment, but he creates zilch.

This team have scored 70 goals in 30 games and were conceding them for fun too up to Boxing Day.
Hardly a valid comparison.
But your 95 point record looks under threat.
No Mata...
Take out Oscar and Mikel, man for man Southampton are as good as that Chelsea team put out. Once I saw the team selection I knew a loss was on the cards. Funnily enough we'll probably beat Man U on Monday but I'd rather win today. This could be the weekend that defines the top 4.
Utd rested some players today though, DL. Expect a fired up Rooney to boot a few of your players up in the air.
Who's the ref?

Phil Dowd, seems to love booking Chelsea players for diving after they've been fouled. Get your money on another red
