You are exagerating. Two relatively poor results and you cry wolf, seeing conspiracy theories.
About the failed drugs test: i rencently read an interview with Rio and now he knows damn well he made a serious mistake.
Playing for a big team has advantages and disadvantages: players like Rio Ferdinand are seen as role models and youraverage Stoke player isn't. That is perfectly normal. This high profile also brings profits to Rio and players like him (money from publicity among other things).
And beach, United players also come away with serious offenses. One only needs to mention the words "Rooney" and "Wigan".
The fact is that you guys aren't used to loose matches and you generally are rather bad loosers.
There are also people who aren't convinced that the ref's mistake decided the match against Real Madrid. Manchester United reacted poor and Real Madrid scored two wonderfull goals. I don't particarly like Real Madrid, but they also deserve some credit...you guys make it seem as if the ref himself scored those two goals. The guy made a serious mistake, but at the time Man Utd was still 1-0 up. Fact is that both the players and the managers lost if for 5 or 6 minutes and that Real turned it around in that short spell of time...You can also look at the bright side: it's class that Madrid could do it in such a short spell, whereas Man Utd was the better team the rest of the match. After those two goals Man Utd dominated again, even if they were a man down...so one can ask questions about the real impact of the sending off.
And to my knowledge there was no refereeing mistake against Chelsea, United were 2-0 up and still Chelsea came back...
I'm pretty sure Man Utd will win both the EPL and the replay against Chelsea, but right now they had a bad spell, this happens in football. I'm also pretty sure that in his team talk after the Real Madrid match Ferguson did not focus on the referee's mistake. To blame only the ref would be self-delusion.
