Sadly there is no concrete evidence that Man U bribed the refs.

Cheating refers to the breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation.
In this case we are referring to it over a period of time rather than a single game.

Overspending winning the trophy then going into administration and not having to pay everything back.

I'd put that down to more of a financial fuck up than cheating.

Of course it's cheating. The gained an advantage by spending more than they could afford.

Spending what you don't have would go down as cheating in my book.crump wrote:I'd put that down to more of a financial fuck up than cheating.

See, I quite clearly said cheating over a period of time, not just 1 game.

England cheated through 3 matches though?
Oh and Zaglebie Lubin match fixed with like 5 different teams, when the FA found out, them and those 5 teams all got relegated either once or twice. It was a pretty major deal here in Poland.

Yeah, England won the whole World Cup by cheating, it wasn't just one game.

No proof that we cheated 
The most retarded thing is when people say we cheated when the ball didn't cross the line

England have been accused of cheating lots in the past also. Arsenal cheated to get promotion to the top English league in the early 1900's.

As it says, conspiracy. Anyone who watches a Youtube conspiracy video and "know" they know the truth are mistaken.

Whatever, English NT was pretty shit back then, Sure they won the WC by cheating, only for Poland (lol) to eliminate England from even getting into the following WC finals in 1973.
