Wasn't last man, wasn't denying a goal scoring opportunity, wasn't two footed, granted he wasn't anywhere near the ball but I just thought a yellow would have sufficed.

But probably considered violent conduct, so a red card.
Violent conduct. If M'Biwas tackle on Nasri last week is a red then so is this.

But that was knee high, which is why a lot of people thought it was red.

If Man Utd don't get Champs League and the money it brings, will they be okay?

He's losing it. If United don't recruit in a big way they're going to have to rely entirely on Rooney (who doesn't want to be there) and Van Persie (who might not want to be there).

And Cleverley (who is just happy to be anywhere).

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

Think it goes to show that with old red nose and the amount of things that went thier way teams didn't think they could get results against them. Fear factor is gone aswell as the poor summer and they are struggling for it.

Going back to the Suarez incidenct.....
For me it wasn't a penalty. There was some contact, but only caused by momentum. The problem here is that now the FA etc are effectively saying any contact in the box is a foul, yet only the 'keepers seem to be punished for it. Technically any pushing, shoving, shirt pulling is a foul if you go by letter of the law, but when was the last time you saw a penalty given when a corner is about to be taken???
My personal view was that Guzan's momentum carried him into Suarez, but there was no intent to foul him. If that had been anywhere else on the pitch nothing would have been given.
If he was stopping a goal-scoring opportunity, then fair enough. But so many penalties are being given when the ball is going out of play.
Players are now LOOKING for contact, either by changing their own direction or by leaving a foot/leg hanging to get caught.
