SAF to Escape FA Caution |

Good to see that for once, the FA has looked at a football match and realised that passions do run high and that some things may be said in the heat of the moment. Following yesterday's match with chelski, SAF was fuming about the free-kick and the subsequent goal.
Sky Sports report reads:
Sir Alex Ferguson will not face any action from the Football Association following his remarks on Sunday.
The Manchester United boss was critical of the performance from referee Martin Atkinsonduring the Red Devils' 1-0 defeat at title rivals Chelsea.
He felt the award of a free-kick which led to the Blues' winner was wrong and branded Atkinson's positioning for the resulting set-piece as 'absolutely ridiculous'.
Ferguson, who has been very vocal in his condemnation of Premier League officials of late, admitted he is starting to lose faith with the men in the middle.
It is understood, however, that his latest outburst will not be punished by the FA as he did not question Atkinson's integrity or suggest there was any bias.
Tug
The incident which incurred Ferguson's wrath began to unfold when Darren Fletcher was penalised for a foul on Ashley Cole.
From the resulting free-kick John Terry nodded the only goal of the game, but United felt that a tug on Wes Brown by Didier Drogba helped the ball into the net.
Ferguson told Sky Sports afterwards: "Clearly, Darren Fletcher's won the ball - Ashley Cole's never touched and has jumped up in the air - and then Drogba's pulled Brown to the ground for the goal.
"The referee's position to make the decision was absolutely ridiculous - he can't see anything. He's got a Chelsea player (Joe Cole) standing right in front of him - and he doesn't even move.
"It was a bad decision, but there's nothing we can do about it. You lose faith in refereeing sometimes, that's the way the players are talking in there - it was a bad one."

Personally, I think SAF is just brave enough to come out and say the things that many other managers and players are thinking, but are too scared to come out and say it. I don't think the referees are being disrespected, but can take constructive criticism from the comments.

Barca want Rooney £85 million |

Barcelona are preparing to launch a world record £85 million raid for Manchester United's superstar striker Wayne Rooney, according to the News of the World.
The tabloid claims that the Camp Nou board hopes to exploit the Red Devils' financial concerns in order to top Real Madrid's £80m purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo last season.
Sir Alex Ferguson is yet to reinvest the money brought in from his Portuguese protege's departure, and it is thought that the Old Trafford club's debts are preventing him from doing so.
Meanwhile, with Rooney set to enter the 2010 World Cup as England's marquee player, Barca believe his arrival next summer would be just the marketing leveller needed after Los Galacticos output in the last transfer window.
However, the Spanish giants are aware of the difficulties in orchestrating such a signing - the main problem being that the player himself has often expressed his desire to remain at United for the rest of his career.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old's wife, Colleen, recently gave birth to the pair's first child, and so he would be naturally wary of destabilising his young family by moving abroad.
