Ferguson banned for five matches

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been suspended for five matches and handed a £30,000 fine following comments he made about referee Martin Atkinson earlier this month.

Following a controversial 2-1 defeat at Chelsea, Ferguson said he had "feared the worst" when Atkinson was appointed match official for the Premier League clash on March 1, adding: "You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that."

The FA's disciplinary board have imposed a three-match touchline ban and activated a suspended two-match ban that hung over the United manager after he accused referee Alan Wiley of being "not fit" after a 2-2 draw with Sunderland at Old Trafford last season.

Ferguson will be confined to the stands for the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City at Wembley as well as Premier League clashes with Bolton, West Ham, Fulham and Everton.

The United boss was angry over Atkinson's failure to dismiss Chelsea defender David Luiz for fouls on Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney at Stamford Bridge after he had already been booked.

He was further upset when Chelsea were awarded what he considered a "soft" winning penalty when Yuri Zhirkov took a tumble under a challenge from United centre-back Chris Smalling.

With Premier League leaders United just three points ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand, the lengthy suspension could have a big impact on the title race.

Arsenal have the title. Quote me for future reference. Ferg. Is gonna throw everything at the quarterfinals. Which is gonna leave his already thin squad stretched. He's not gonna be able to hold on for much longer.

heh, I'm a Chelsea fan, and 9 points behind leaders with a game in hand is a really long outside shot at winning.

If we win game in hand, and the game at Old Trafford, that 9 point gap will drop to 3, then it's game on.

All the current pressure is on Man Utd and Arsenal.

[drunkenscorpion]

If Manu loses any more EPL games....then the race is wide open.....but football is a weird game at times, anything can happen. Chelsea have some tough games ahead as well. If we can overcome Man City this sunday, then it would be a little easier....but fack dred...Man city has had our number for the past couple years....

[drunkenscorpion]

Real leading 1-0 at half

Chelsea still 0-0 HT

manchester city out of europa league despite winning 1-0....balotelli sent off

Steven Davies, the England wicket-keeper came out as gay this week. The sound of no-one being bothered was deafening. Rather, he got the support of his captain and team-mates. Would this happen in football? I think it probably would. Or I hope so.
