Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has
continued his war of words with Sir Alex
Ferguson by implying that referees
unconsciously favour Manchester United.

Friday's press conferences at both United
and Chelsea had been characterised by a
tit-for-tat exchange as the Stamford
Bridge boss criticised Ferguson for
commenting on the Mark Clattenburg
issue.
And, when specifically asked whether he
was concerned about repeated decisions
supposedly going United's way in recent
high-profile games, Di Matteo spoke with
surprising frankness.
"I think there's a lot of evidence for that.
So, there's some kind of feelings in
general but I don't think the referees do
that with a purpose," he said. "It's just part
of the decision-making, and it seems to go
one direction."
Di Matteo was then asked whether that
was because United are a 'big club' and
vented his anger over the fact that certain
decision have not gone the way of the
Blues.
"I don't know. We're a big club as well and
Liverpool are a big club too," he said. "As
much as it angers me personally, as a
manager, when key decisions go against
us, we need to do everything to support
the officials and make sure they can
perform at the best of their ability.
"I think that I made my feelings very clear
after the game [on Sunday] and after the
game on Wednesday [in which Chelsea
beat United 5-4 in the Capital One Cup]. It
was very clear. The evidence with the TV
was very clear that certain decisions were
wrong."
Having said earlier in the day that
Ferguson's propensity for commenting on
other clubs is "unhelpful" , Di Matteo
elaborated further.
"I have to say that it happened in the past
as well," he said. "I think there is a lot of
respect between your colleagues, the
managers in general. And everybody has a
different approach. Some people talk
about other clubs and clubs' issues and
some don't. We'll take the knowledge from
his comments but it doesn't mean that we
share it."
