Glen Johnson says he has watched it countless times, he never touched Valencia, it wasn't a penalty and Valencia was cheating: ``I've watched it 50 times in there, not that I needed to -- it's not a penalty. I didn't touch him. I collided with Pepe, I didn't touch Valencia at all. The referee told me he had to give it. He thought I touched him. ``It's cheating at the end of the day. You don't expect people to do that. This is one of the best leagues in the world and you've got people doing that.'' Strong stuff eh? ``I almost guarantee that if you flip it and Luis was the one who I was chasing and it's exactly the same situation with Luis rather than Valencia, then it wouldn't have been a penalty, we all know that. Reputations go in front of people at times. Maybe because Valencia isn't a known diver maybe that's why he got the decision. ``I know it's difficult for the referee when players are sprinting as fast as they can but in the big games those decisions are the difference. ``We expect referees to make the right decisions because we are working as hard as we can to win the game. To have it taken away like that, I can't explain it. Everyone has to do their job. They have to forget who they are looking at and make the decisions, not let anything from the past influence their decision. They have to call the shots at the time regardless of who it is.'' Get a grip mate, we haven't had a penalty at your place for ages! Footnote, Manchester United are now favourites with most British bookmakers to win the English Premier League.
