FOOTBALL: Alex Ferguson In The Firing Line Again

Alex Ferguson has ignored the FA in regards to their most recent charge on him, this time for praising referee Howard Webb. Ferguson said "We are getting the best referee no doubt about that. But (getting a bad decision) is definitely our big fear.".

The Manchester United boss believes that the Football Association determined to make and example of him.
