If he\u2019s not giving a penalty then fine but to book him is an insult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I watched it myself and there was definite contact.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The hosts also had a penalty shout turned down in the second-half when Peter Lovenkrands was brought down under the attentions of Anderson on the edge of the United box, but the Scot has stated that he failed to see the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I haven\u2019t seen that,&#8221; Ferguson insisted. &#8220;I would have to see it again because I haven\u2019t seen that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Premier League leaders could have taken the lead through Ryan Giggs on the 68th minute but the Welshman fluffed a superb chance from only 10-yards out.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Speaking of the miss, Ferguson said: &#8220;It was a great chance but actually the defender has just got a touch on it just before it came to him, just a fraction to put him off a little bit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;In the first 20 minutes Newcastle played very well. Full marks to them they did exceptionally well in the first 20 minutes but as we got to half time I was pretty sure we\u2019d improve and we did really well in the second half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;The passing was terrific, we got into great positions but we didn\u2019t trouble the goalkeeper and that\u2019s the only thing. We played really well in the second half.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When asked whether he saw the result as a point gained or two dropped, Ferguson admitted that Alan Pardew\u2019s side had performed well but stated that he felt his side were comfortable for the majority of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWith the way Newcastle fought and challenged,&#8221; he added, &#8220;they will probably feel that they deserved a point, particularly the first 20 minutes but for the remainder of the game I felt we were more or less in control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;At this stage of the season, we\u2019re in a better position than we were in on Saturday, it\u2019s one less game, we\u2019re in the same position as we were with Arsenal and five games left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;You\u2019ve got to look at Chelsea also and how they respond, they\u2019ve got three home games in a row now but there are two important games coming up now, that\u2019s the Arsenal game away and the Chelsea game at home.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The 69-year-old also praised his players for bouncing back from their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City, stating that the physical effects of the clash weren&#8217;t evident in his team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We tried our best to freshen up as best we could in terms of Saturday because Wembley can be a tiring pitch as we know,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It\u2019s a slow pitch and can drag people down a little bit but in fairness I don\u2019t think we showed any of that tonight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;They looked really energetic our players, they thrived on the challenge and that\u2019s good to see at this stage of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ferguson will return from a five game touchline ban on Saturday and responded positively when asked if he was relishing the prospect of returning to the dugout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He said: \u201cAbsolutely.
