The amount of diving and feigning injury from United was shocking. Their football is total shite too. Their fans can't be happy with what they are getting.
I thought Di Maria was unlucky to get a yellow, let alone two of them. I'm assuming by that point it must've been an accumulation thing and that happened to be the straw that broke the ref's back so to speak.
Both decisions were bad and both times Michael Oliver (a Referee I do like) got them right
Januzaj going down and then having the cheek to go running to the officials in horror at not getting a penalty was worse though, the delay in going down was terrible and surprised that the Arsenal player didnt have a right go at him over it

Yes Michael Oliver is a camel now.
Di Maria escaped a yellow earlier in the game.
Januzaj's dive was atrocious, no way he went into the box to score a goal but to win a penalty. If fergie was around he would've got the brunt of the hairdryer.

They remind me of us under Peeters. Lots of slow recycling of the ball resulting in stalemate and eventually desperately throwing a big fella up front and hoofing the ball at him.
Never seen a side dive as much as Manure last night. They should be totally embarrassed but they won't because they think they have god given right to win. Michael Oliver was excellent, best referee performance I've seen for a very long time, under enormous pressure, and with Rooney is in his ear almost the whole time.

Not every bit of contact constitutes a foul. There was nowhere near enough contact there to make him go down. It was a dive, pure and simple.
