I agree, honest! It's just that I think some people (on both sides of the 'argument') are being a little childish about the whole thing.
Actually, speaking as a neutral, I don't think it was that good a match anyway - unfortunately, when you have a game where both teams are kicking lumps out of each other, you tend to find that there's some controversy or other and, on this occasion, I think that Man U shaded it as a team.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if Rooney dived or not (and I think that there was (minimal) contact) - Man U won by 2 goals, not 1 disputed penalty.
