Fergie: City gifted too many penalties
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned the number of penalties awarded to City over the past 12 months, drawing a hostile reply from his counterpart Roberto Mancini ahead of the Manchester derby.
Indeed, Mancini's men have had penalties in their last three matches, and Ferguson is hoping Sunday's referee Martin Atkinson does not add to that tally.
"The number of penalty kicks they get, 21 in the last year or something like that," said Ferguson.
Mancini, though, pointed out that United have been awarded the same number of penalties in exactly the same time period. The Italian believes the comments were simply created by Ferguson to add to tensions ahead of the derby.

Fergie really had no rights to say other teams got more penalties. i bet Man Utd have more penalties ( many of dubious nature ) than any other teams over the past year, 2, 3, 5 years...
"If we got that number of penalty kicks there'd be an inquiry in the House of Commons. There'd be a protest." - Sir Alex Ferguson
there really should be an inquiry in the House of Commons regarding Man Utd and Refereeing decisions long ago.
