When did they last not get one at ours?When did they last get one at ours?
The Michael Oliver disgrace when we still beat them, three maybe fourShould we have been awarded any that weren’t given?
Anderson on Richards was the last one I can remember.
Is this your way of revealing yourself as the bloke that jumped on Curly-Wurly’s back?On 7 April 1992 Manchester City were awarded a penalty at Old Trafford, which Keith Curle converted to earn a 1-1 draw.

Many blues will already know the number of penalties awarded to City since then at the swamp: none. Nix, nada, niente.
Absolutely astounding that we could go so long without being awarded a penalty there. Since then, we have had 8 general elections, 7 prime ministers, America has had 5 different presidents, and City have won 15 major trophies.
Unless you are pushing 40 you have no memory of a City penalty at the swamp.
A record like that speaks for itself, yet we all know what the media will make of that simple statistic.
Absolutely fuck all.
That’s a mental stat - especially considering how dominant we’ve been in games there over the past dozen or so seasons - and not something I’ve ever really considered to be honest. I was at that game in the Stretford Paddock with several hundred other blues and have been at all bar three derbies there since.On 7 April 1992 Manchester City were awarded a penalty at Old Trafford, which Keith Curle converted to earn a 1-1 draw.

Some of those old trafford derbies: 2011, 2014, 2016, 2019, 2021, we were as dominant as we’ve been in any other away game at a ‘Big 6’ club since the takeover. Especially 2014, 2016 and 2021 where we totally brutalised them.That’s a mental stat - especially considering how dominant we’ve been in games there over the past dozen or so seasons - and not something I’ve ever really considered to be honest.

We definitely should’ve had a penalty in the 6-1 there when Micah was fouled but having not long sent Jonny Evans off, Clattenburg completely and utterly bottled it and did some stupid gesture with his hands to explain why it wasn’t given. I seem to recall a blatant one not given a couple of seasons back towards the end of our 2-0 win as well. And as already mentioned, we should’ve had three in a single derby game at home when that bent **** Oliver was reffing.

Eight wins out of 12 including that season, aggregate score of 12-24, not a single penalty
I'm happy we don't really need penalties to win there.Eight wins out of 12 including that season, aggregate score of 12-24, not a single penalty
