I remember when Leicester won it ... so many cringeworthy comments on here ref luck,drug-taking etc.
We are not very good at handing out "well dones" to other winners and as you say we should handle it with dignity.
Exactly mate. They're getting let off with everything. Guaranteed if that was one of our players they'd have been sent off before a replay.Is Mane’s choke hold being run on a loop by Sky? How can that be glossed over. Funny how Oliver now gives penalties so easily, wonder why? Is football fixed? You bet it is. Don’t be surprised if Slippy wins the league in Scotland, nice double for someone on the 30th anniversary.
So you think that the first penalty was unwarranted.Had it been Sergio and it NOT been given,what would your response have been ? Stone-waller all day ... but not the second one.I’ve changed my tune lads. I think Liverpool should be awarded 3 unwarranted penalties in their next game.
If Liverpool win it then I will congratulate them but I expect a level playing field from the officials. Oliver looked terrified throughout the game and he couldn’t do himself justice in those circumstances.

when they were getting beatSalah and Firminho were on the bench and came on in the second half.
I saw the refs performance difference mate. I was laughing that a free kick or penalty was awarded every time Arsenal made a challenge.
Liverpool are playing much better than us and I have no qualms about that. Also, great credit goes to the performances of Palace, Leicester and Chelsea against us. My main problem with last night is for the humiliation the Arsenal fans faced when the score should have been closer (even given Arsenal’s shambolic defence) Like many on here, I go to the majority of away games and it isn’t much fun returning home on the end of a thrashing, even though most have had a good few beers by that stage.
I have serious concerns about Salad - I am convinced that poor chap has a serious medical condition- he has major instability and falls over very often - he ought to get checked out as I suspect some sort vascular defect in his brain- that's is not normal-
falling over regularly is something to be very concerned about and taking part in strenuous exercise such as professional foot ball should not be permitted as this could be life threatening -
do keep going Salad on that basis please- fall as often as you like as at least the referees are taking good care of you.
I bet you`d have been one of the first to complain had it been Sergio and not had that first penalty.Stone-waller all day FFS.The soft fucker had two attempts to bring him down.
"Not that I condone it btw"
sounds a bit like - I am not biased against xyz "but"
The reason City fans were shocked after the game by the "welcome" wa not because we were defeated - we are not professional victims like you - but the extent of the attack, sorry "welcome", and the brazenness / lack of police protection became apparent.
I don't do anything even close to the high pressure job such as playing a CL quarter final.
But if I was attacked on the way to office by a mob throwing hundreds of Missiles at me, I would be pretty subpar that day I suspect.
Of course the multiple critical referee decisions in Liverpool's favour helped as well.
First of all are you posting from Ireland, London or Scandinavia?
Secondly, when we post we post as individuals.
If one poster said “ederson has been held at gunpoint in Brazil”, and another said “it had a massive impact on the players”, that means two different posters are posting differing views on the coach attack. There are 1000’s of posters on here - we don’t all speak as one humongous mass.
Thirdly, why have you chosen today to join and post? You could’ve joined and posted in May 2014, or perhaps February 2016? A bit sad for you to only have the minerals to do it today.
Lastly, if you blow winning the league will you return?
Ive seen worse.......Refs were badly sucked in by those rag bastards
We do see it a lot with Sergio, Jesus, Sterling though don't we ?
Most of the time they just get on with the game. When they do go down, the 'experts say' "nah not for me" after the ref inevitably fails to give it.
If we start getting those now, & pens for minor pushing/holding we'll probably win the lot.
I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t seen this to watch it on YouTube. It’s very hard to argue against bent refereeing when you watch it.Mike Riley - United v Arsenal 2004. The game where Arsenal’s 49 game unbeaten league record came to an end. That was the most bent refereeing performance in the history of the Premier League IMO. We’ve had some shockers in our games down the years but that was on another level altogether.
Liverpool are brilliant abs deserve to be top of the table. That doesn’t justify what was arguably the worst refereeing performance in the history of the Prem.
We won’t.
We haven’t for the last few years, so why should things change now?
Lol. Are you in Manchester?I live about 30 minutes from anfield, so not a local but not that far.
