That's a referee, coming out with that, in a national newspaper. That's the level of professionalism among premier league referees.Clattenburg, of all the cvnts in all the world, in the mail today referring to the foul on Raz for the pen
“Forget his reputation for diving this was a pen”

Ironic that he did 90% of his diving whilst at Liverpool & people like Clattenburg gave him free kicks & pens for it every fucking time.
You couldn't even breathe near Sterling when he played for them.
He’s still one of the most fouled players in the league. The stats won’t show that though as he’s barely awarded any free kicks for them.Yep, one of the most fouled players in the league when he wore red.

And we probably have so much more possession as well - truly bafflingTrue, that's my point. He won nearly twice as many frees on average playing in red in the PL than he does now playing in blue.
Nearly 80% of possession last night yet 7 fouls to Wolves 3.And we probably have so much more possession as well - truly baffling

8 times as many fouls though?This never surprises me that much really. Teams tend to stand off City and try and retain their shape behind the ball - City when they lose it hunt down the ball and try and get it back. And yes, absolutely City commit cynical fouls when teams break on them - which is normal.

Thought wolves were plenty aggressive last night tbf.You mean when possession is factored in? Yes, really. Just because City are so aggressive trying to get it back. Teams playing City never are, they stand off.

I'm not going to watch it again (dull match tbh) but going from memory I don't believe that outside of the Sterling penalty and the Boly red card they committed 1 foul in the entire game.I'm not going to try and tell you that I have re-watched it a dozen times to check each instance or anything, it's just a general observation about how City sometimes do commit more fouls than the opposition. I'm sure some games it doesn't make any sense, but overall I'm just not that surprised when it happens.

Strange that, seeing as we're on the losing side of the foul count in every game we play - other teams must be getting pulled for more fouls against other teams than they do against us.but we're 2nd to bottom of the table for fouls committed.
