The Power of Independent Trucking

In the run up to the Arsenal game we find a very nice example of the bias we have to face:

The FA decided Wenger's comments post-Stoke did not cross the line into
bringing the game into disrepute but it charged his Manchester United
counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson with improper conduct. He was angry at
the referee Mike Dean's decisions in the home win over Hull on Saturday
and confronted him on the pitch.

One rule for them and another for us.  Makes a change...
The Independent pretty much admit that the FA has a vendetta against us:

The Football Association has renewed its attempts to challenge Sir Alex
Ferguson's conduct with referees, lodging their third improper conduct
charge in two seasons

The way they describe the decisions in the Hull game which most infuriated Sir Alex is a masterclass in understatement:

...enraged by Dean's decision to award Hull a penalty and failure – as he
saw it – to issue Hull's Michael Turner with a second yellow card
following his challenge on Michael Carrick. The penalty decision
certainly looked an acceptable one, though Turner's challenge on
Michael Carrick would have earned some players a second yellow.

Some players?  Do they mean that the other players would have got a straight red?  Let's assume not.  They truly are Independent...
