Unfortunately Mourinho's playing the same tactics that Ferguson succeeded with for years. Undermine the referees publicly so that they are fearful of giving decisions against that team for fear of public ridicule. He's watched it work for Ferguson and given that he, like Ferguson, is a grade A c**t he's trying the same. I just hope we don't pay the price next week when the big decisions are needed to be made against Chelsea.
That's all changed with the official bias and unprofessional attitude and paradoxically there have been exaggerations of the phenomenon that have helped correct the anomaly, none more so than the Luis Suarez saga.
In spite of the player's admission and acknowledgement of the devils he was confronting, his acceptance of the penalty imposed and his vow to address the issue for his own sake and his club's was welcomed and viewed positively.
Not so a certain Ferguson and Evra who chose to contort the player's and the club's issues and use any negativity created as an advantage - as is their way.
As we all know and my parents sought to convince from an early age, liars and cheats never prosper. That maxim by it's very nature depends on eventualities and the truth to shine through like a new dawn, it's a new dawn alright and the liars, cheats and their imitators have had their day.
