 | FERGUSON'S VIEW |
Sir Alex Ferguson refused to write off Manchester United's title hopes after they fell nine points behind Arsenal after a draw at Fulham. "It's an uphill fight, no question of that," said Ferguson. "We know that and I think everybody else knows that.
"But we're capable of winning matches and could go on a run of victories, which is what we need."
Ferguson was unhappy United were not awarded a penalty and added: "It's time match officials earn their money."
The target of Ferguson's fury was Alan Wiley's decision not to punish Fulham keeper Edwin van der Sar's challenge on Louis Saha with a spot-kick.
He added: "If they're not doing their job, they shouldn't be out there, frankly.
"This is the new dawn in football with professional referees but that's very questionable.
"Managers are given no confidence that they're doing their job.
"It sometimes happens that, when you're not having a good run, you don't get the breaks. Maybe they'll come our way in a few weeks."
