Just watching SSN and there was a piece on the "fracas" in the tunnel yesterday. Obviously filmed earlier today while it was still bright, James Cooper made a comment about Mourinho and "his fellow countryman" Ederson. How do these gobshites get such a cushy number?
 
Neutral "Manchester correspondent" Simon Stone defending united on 5live last half hour. United fan Chapman and even Danny Mills showing him up
 
Wrong. Every commentator called it as a pen. Bein. Sky. BBC.

It was a pen.

Watch any Utd game and Smalling always holds at corners and set pieces and letter of the law should be a penalty. Thought Pep could have highlighted their constant holding and tugging at set pieces prior to the game.
Ota's was as clear a penalty as you see yet glossed over and its all about Herra or what ever his name is non penalty dive.
 
Thinking of overlooked things - imagine if Ramos or Pique or even Jones had done the dribble and roll back Otamendi did to get out of that tight situation- absolute brilliance.

To be fair the defender who chucked him over his shoulder by his arm would have got 10/10 for technical skill in a judo display.
 
Surprise, surprise!....It's Duncan Castles!

Manchester City are slick, but not pure...

You’ve got to admire the arse licker, in a peculiar type of way. Until PEG mentioned ‘tactical fouls’ nobody had ever mentioned it. Castles is now promoting it as something we do, comparing Silva to Busquets and citing Sterling for four of these fouls (apparently all the other PL managers agree with PEG). I’ve been looking for his article calling the rags out for their cynical taking out of Hazard last season. I’ve not found it yet, but I’m sure it’ll be out there!

Castles has been talking about tactical fouls during pretty much every City game for a month leading up to the derby, almost as if he'd been briefed to do so...

yhp, Sterling with 4 fouls and then Delph with 2, and nobody else in our team had more than 1, very tactical.

Meanwhile United had Herrera, Matic and Lingard with 3 each and Young and Valencia with 2 each. Sterling gave away 4 fouls and was fouled 3 times, as was Sane and Silva twice. Perhaps he could do a piece on why they gave away 3 times as many fouls in their own half than we did in ours? In fact, we only gave away 2 fouls in our own half all game, which is quite incredible.
 
Every team fouls tactically and has done for as long as I've been watching football. If a opposition player is breaking fast from there half every prem manager will tell there players to take him down. An easy Utd one to remember was when SWP was fouled about 7 8 times by different Utd players as soon as he got the ball. Think Ronaldo got sent off.

Load of hot air. Up there with doing it the right way, playing the Utd way and those special nights at the theatre of dreams.

My advice dont read or click on this sh*te only thing worth looking at is that lovely league table that's shows us top by 11 points and to top it off we are favourites for CL as well. What a time to be a blue.
