As I’ve said before VAR will just be another way of getting the end result the bent officials want.Some of the comical decisions by Atkinson and his bent team stank of corruption from the highest level. We go near a rag and it’s a foul, Kun nearly gets a broken leg and it’s fine.
VAR cannot come soon enough for our games. But then again it all depends on the “impartial” video ref.
I’ve come back from that kick in the balls, clicked on this thread and found the first post is some fucking clown hankering for fucking Mancini?!?!?
For fucks sake. You ignorant prick.

AmenIt wasn't just a one off derby match though, it was the derby match to win the league!! It meant so much more but it didn't to Pep.
The split second before, Young was flying in, both feet off the ground, two feet first and wildly out of control. Do that and end up - as he did - going over the top of the ball and into an opponents leg and you'll get a red card anywhere on the pitch. It was by the very definition of the term, serious foul play.Can see were gravvo is coming from , Young did play the ball but his follow through was dangerous play and a penalty and certain yellow card possibly red , the old days of winning th ball and taking everbody and everything with it have long gone.
Yes, thats true, but maybe thats the difference between winning and losing at the top level.
I don't see how a club can succeed without absolute commitment form the entire group and that includes the manager, how can that happen if the guy doesn't fully commit to the club and the support?
Look at where the long term success has happened...
Ferguson, Henkyes, Paisly, Shankly, Clough etc Us in the 60's under Joe Mercer...
Its all in or we just become Chelsea...
I agree that Mancini was the one that fully committed to us. 2 years in Pep's looking like he's managing a career project.
Sorry if I'm sounding over negative, but I think we've seen this week where the cracks are, its the last 1 or 2% between being very very good, and becoming a dominant force...
I have much more of an issue with the rugby tackle on Sterling which whilst it wouldnt have been a penalty was more of an assault and certainly gave an indication that we get bugger all from him anyway.
Come on Blues it has mothing to do with Pep should have made a sub at this point. The same 11 bossed united in the first half and we should have been at least 4-0 up at half time. We didnt, united were probably roasted at half time by mourinho to save face and not go out with a whimper.
If anyone thinks that Pep at the same interval would have just been relaxed and said ‘job done lads keep it simple’ are having a laugh. He would have been seething that we didnt convert those chances, which was reminiscent of us last season
The issue we have here is that for the second game in a row the team out on the pitch has failed to control the game once the opposition has the opportunity to put us under some pressure and then score. For whatever reason the players are not staying focused and implementing what Pep wants and instead lose focus and positional areas on the pitch which have resulted in not just conceding one more goal but 2.
Pep will be worried about this because it has happened now to 2 teams he has put out which had a different starting eleven in each game.
Thought otamendi was worse today. Against pool I would play walker stones Laporte Delph
It isn’t worth the same as mine because its an idiotic, kneejerk, small minded, pathetic and baseless opinion.Its a fucking opinion, worth the same as yours so fuck you!
I can only surmise that anyone not bothered by peps starting 11 for a game against the red shite in a title winning game isnt really a proper blue and i look forward to proving to me otherwise.
Today that game didnt mean as much to pep as it did to us and for that im really perturbed
I would rather be grappled with than have my leg snapped.Best to leave it fella I can’t argue with such logic.

The only thing Pep got wrong today was not making the changes sooner. The team he put out was good enough to win as the first half showed. Sterling puts away his chances and we wouldn't be having this conversation now. Same with Atkinson, if he'd just done his job properly.
