Roberto Martinez's comments.

"I have come to United three times before today and for whatever reason we don't seem to be measured in the same manner as the team at home," said Martinez.

"The penalty is as bad a decision as you are going to see in the Premier League. In many ways, you feel as though you are fighting against a mountain.

"There were tackles flying around that if they had been the other way round there would have been a couple of red cards.

As a fan of a so called smaller club, I am glad that he has someone has come out and made a noise about this. We very very rarely get decisions when us (the smaller club) goes away to a so called bigger club. And yesterday with Wigan away to Utd was the prime example

You mean Man Utd get favourable calls when they play at OT?

Ground shattering

It was a terrible decision... but until the FA punish such blatant cheats then it will continue with the like of Young, Suarez, Welbeck, Gerrard etc...

Should be an instant 2 game ban, that would stop them.

Bad decisions go both ways, it's magnified when it goes for a big club and is more likely to negatively affect the result when it goes against a small club (from their point of view).

Any supposed favouritism is all in your head.

I read somewhere that Man Utd have on average 4.5 minutes injury time when they're losing and 3 minutes when wining. Fergie time indeed. Jus' sayin'

It's not just the big decisions, it is the majority of the little ones. You don't get them when you are a small team away at a bigger team. It is not in my head, I have been and seen it with my own two eyes

Welbeck has been called 'too honest' so many times though. Look at the England game midweek, he honestly stayed on his feet, and there have been numerous penalties he's stayed on his feet for being honest. It doesn't pay, so of course he's going to go down if he can get a penalty. Not saying it's right but it's how the game is.

Man United get decisions against them though, look at Newcastle last season off the top of my head. Ferdinand makes a perfect challenge, wins the ball. Penalty given, completely wrongly. I'm sure there's others and I will find some.

Couldn't agree more with this. Yesterday Crouch did a pretty good Michael Jordan impression before scoring against City, and Ryan Nelsen manhandled John Terry in the box in the QPR/Chelsea game, but I don't see any outrage regarding these two incidents.

Spot on the last couple of comments. Unfortunately, it happens in most games but lord almighty when Utd get away with it its some kind of favouritism. Utd got some shocking decisions given against us last season yet no one batters an eyelid.

I agree though, that:

1) wasn't a pen but how many do you see given when a keeper comes out, misses the ball (and the player) striker goes down and a pen is given. It wasn't like Welbeck is the first and as previously mentioned, he stays on his feet allot and so doesn't get the decisions. Should never go down diving but I can see why he did it.

2) I think he should have been sent off, terrible tackle, around the knee area and completely reckless, could have broken his leg.

Agree with that.

This is pathetic. ManU never cheat. Just ask "Honest" Howard Webb.
