Fergie: slip-ups unacceptable

MANCHESTER United boss Alex Ferguson has branded this season's loss of 14 points to the Premiership's lesser lights as 'unacceptable'.

The Red Devils look to defend their manager's 100% record in FA Cup semi-finals by ousting Newcastle tomorrow knowing failure will consign their season to the dustbin.

The low point in a month of misery came in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Norwich, which left Ferguson so annoyed he even refused an interview to MUTV.
