Just like Arsene Wenger, cannot lose. Take like as part of the game you win some decision & lose some.

seems to me his statement was pretty general and not aimed at Manchester United or any particular club. Nothing to get hot and bothered about.

Big, winning clubs get key refereering decisions their way. Much like Arsenal FC did during Vieira's time. But sometimes they too dont - like ManU v Porto some years ago...

Funny that you should mention that since someone is getting defensive.
