Top 3 moaners...
1) Scouse supporters
2) Cockney supporters
3) Anyone else not following a Manchester team.

Bar the ones I was in college with, work with and who drink in the local - no none.I'll admit their not typical - being educated and with jobs...

Told you Hughes was in the Top 3 moaners list:
Blackburn 0-4 Aston Villa
David Anderson 29/11/2007
Mark Hughes last night pointed the finger at referee Phil Dowd after Blackburn crashed to their heaviest defeat at Ewood Park for three years.
The Rovers boss felt Dowd got just about every decision wrong in disallowing a Benni McCarthy strike, sending off Ryan Nelsen, ignoring the home side's appeal for a penalty and failing to rule out Villa's third and fourth goals for offside.
Dowd has previous with Blackburn and last season upset Hughes by dismissing Tugay when Spurs visited.
Hughes said: "Tonight was not one of the referee's best performances and I think most people would acknowledge that.
"I was going to have a chat with him after the match, but what's the point? He won't change the result and everybody has to move on.
"Benni's goal not being given was an even greater turning point than the penalty. If we had scored at that point when we had dominated the first 30 minutes it might have been a different game.
"He's given the penalty for a shirt pull, which was probably the right decision, but I don't think it was a sending-off because Chris Samba was there or thereabouts. They then got a couple of breakaway goals and I have my doubts about both of them. I thought they were both offside."
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

Avram Grant looks to be taking up the reins well after Mourihno's departure, and he's real dour ****** as well.
Keane on the ref after the Sunderland draw on Saturday:
"You can take him out of the Premiership but it would be unfair to the Vauxhall Conference players and supporters if he went down there". He also accused the ref of having "cheated" supporters. "I don't want to crucify the ref. I try to be fair".
Looked a dodgy decision to be fair but referees make honest mistakes. That's life. I have cursed them myself and except in the Irish game in Bulgaria I personally haven't experienced a ref making a decision deliberately to favour one side over the other.

Also needless to say Mark Hughes was moaning about the ref after his side's 5-3 defeat BY (not to) Wigan.

Exactly , but they are an easy target , these managers blame them only when they lose , never when they win , its to deflect attention for the reason of the defeat which is usually the ineptitude of the team which would be the managers fault
After all I had heard on TV and the rdaio I looked forward to seeing the incident on MOTD, expecting a terrible decision. When I saw it I thought the ref was well within his rights to award a free. I don't think Carson would have got anywhere near the ball - his feet were planted and he was slow to pick up the flight - but the Sunderland player used his arm for leverage. You might get away with it but not when it's around the 'keeper's neck. It was a bit like England's late "winner" against Portugal in 2004.
Carson seemed to come for the ball and not make it. Didn't see any arm across him but it was one of those you sometimes get; other times you don't
See who gave away the free for the Villa goal. McShane alas. I also see the keeper Gordon was dropped to the bench. Villa had 55% of the possession as well so more than likely deserved a draw.

Apparantly Sanchez is having a moan about people who bet on managers losing their job. 5/1 he goes.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
5/1 are good odds. Might have a flutter.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Sanchez is looking increasingly stressed in interviews as weeks go by.Curbishleys interviews are the ones I find my eyes going toward the roof.
There was an arm blocking his vision. Foul and free kick.
Bit mad to see Mark Hughes lecturing refs yesterday over what he thought were red cards. But at least, he saw them for a change.
If refs applied every rule, his team would have 4 men off in every match.

I see Keano was up in arms over Stephen Hunt's late winner. fair enough as it was a poor decision and cost them a point.
However, I wonder if in the dressing room he vented his fury instead at Kenwynne Jones for shooting in the last minute when a simple square pass to Stokes would have won the match. Pure selfishness.

Aston Villa led 2-0 when Chelsea were awarded a penalty on the stroke of half-time following an incident that saw Knight sent-off for a foul on Ballack.
And Villa boss Martin O'Neill was unhappy with the performance of the referee.
O'Neill felt the first-half penalty and the free-kick from which Ballack put Chelsea 4-3 up should not have been awarded.
"There wasn't one decision we got. If we get the next 15 it will only semi-make up for it," he insisted.
"We were playing brilliantly. We deserved to be 2-0 in front but the penalty was really dubious and it's a major point in the game.
"Suddenly it's 2-1, we've got a man sent off and play the whole of the second half with 10 men.
"It was never a free-kick (before Ballack's goal). Amazingly, I thought the referee might give it but never in a month of Sundays was it a free-kick and they scored from it."
O'Neill was also unhappy about Phil Dowd's role in the last-gasp penalty awarded to Villa for Cole's handling on the line.
"The referee didn't see it and the linesman spotted it - I'm grateful for him spotting a straightforward decision and I'm so grateful linesmen have spotted things they should spot," the Villa manager added.
"We were absolutely terrific and deserved it and even now I don't know if I'm delighted to get a point in the last minute of the game or whether I'm disappointed that we haven't won."
