The FA are biased against us. Fact. This isn't just paranoia stemming from the treatment of Rooney (and all the other incidents we could mention) it's stated FA policy - as this points out:
Sources at the FA have confirmed, however, that Ferguson was warned following his punishment for criticising referee Alan Wiley in October 2009 that “greater profile carries greater responsibility” – a clear reference to the Scot’s belief that United are victims of heavier punishment than others.
There you have it. Our profile means we are treated harsher. Yet:
Rio Ferdinand’s four-game ban for hitting out at Hull City’s Craig Fagan last year, in contrast to Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano and Steven Gerrard escaping censure for similar offences, was cited by Ferguson last season an example of his club being subjected to double standards from the FA.
Aren't Liverpool high profile enough to warrant more stringent punishments? No, it's just us. FA policy is to treat us worse than everyone else. FACT.
