Just heard that semi pro legend gabby agbonlohor saying the ref was card happy trying to set a record for most cards and favoured city
Cluelessness
Arsenal 3 yellows Saka (should have actually had two more), Xhaka, Gabriel
1 red Gabriel - nailed on
City 2 yellows rodri and Bernardo - both correct and worth it
Amazing how they ‘think’ something when clearly wrong

 

[remember arthur mann]

Wigan. I wonder who he supports.

ManVARchester City have been handed the title by VAR. it's a clear penalty to Arsenal and a clear dive from Bernardo obviously city are paying the referees.

Lol.

 

[Bald fraud]

That is ridiculous and says it all about that sorry excuse of a once proud newspaper

Dunno, top of the BBC clickbait page tonight…

FFS
Not clear is an understatement
Odergard actually trod on Ederson!!!!

Apparently, intentionally placing your ankle under a players boot is a red card and penalty offence. Then again, perhaps Holt is just recovering from the excess of new year's eve and will review it again once he sobers up.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Where has Fabregas been hiding for x amount of years?

Perhaps they asked Arsene but he didn't see it.

The Sunday Torygraph this morning goes with "Arsenal denied a penalty"! As the 'penalty' never existed in the entire history of the universe just how could anyone be denied a non-existent entity? Methinks the Arse lads and coaching staff, along with the pillock who wrote that, should be sent on a simple course in logic before the next fixture.

My ERO (Philosophy and French, Sheffield 94-97) tells me that you can be denied summat that doesn't exist!

Correct
If the penalty had been overturned by VAR in could understand the arse being upset
Fact is it was NEVER awarded or clearly a penalty!
It’s not that difficult to understand really Even Wright and Dublin managed to understand that so not doing so is clearly evidence of bias
Cunts!

 

[paulchapo]

It makes me laugh all this outrage on two totally correct decisions. Neither of them are our fault we don't make the decisions the ref and var do. What the wankers are trying to do is draw that much attention to it all that the refs in future games will be shit scared to give us anything for fear of getting a pasting. Their tears are making my day so much better. Here's the final word. Arsenal and the crying media one, Manchester City two.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

The BT commentators said at the start that everybody but City fans wanted Arsenal to win, and the media reflect this today. However, Ian Wright of all people and the Match of the Day panel agreed with both penalty decisions and the stupidity of Gabriel. So media bias will always favour the underdog, unless the underdog happens to be playing a London club or Liverpool, or of course Man untied.

sky sports matchday saying ederson was a pen all day and then going to johnaton northcroft with a shit zoom connection and letting it run for 5 min despite not being able to hear a word hes saying,that sums up their standards

Manchester City are a 'winning machine' - Thomas Tuchel

Manchester City are "relentless" and a "winning machine" according to Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who says his team have be realistic about catching the champions.

Spot the mistake

Have to be realistic

Perhaps they asked Arsene but he didn't see it.

Fabregas? an absolute apology of a man, a total and utter ****.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Interesting point on 5 Live last night that I haven't seen any other pundits discuss so far -- they were saying how the defeatist mentality/complaining from other managers probably seeps into their dressing rooms, gives players an excuse, etc. whereas Pep doesn't really complain and has just been getting on with it despite having players unavailable + fixture congestion.

I agree with this 100 per cent. Pep never makes excuses. It is just win at all costs. He takes the same attitude into pre-season friendlies. City never take the foot of the pedal. Pep has always stated that momentum is a bigger factor than tiredness. He will play a strong team at Swindon for this reason.

I can't believe this crank got a full page to himself to show his knickers are in twist.

Now Kevin Campbell. How thick is he?
Ref Watford afcon scenario "hierarchical thing"

 

[give it to gordon]

Breaking news .... from Sky

City and arsenal have been called back to the Emirates for an Arsenal penalty and for the game to be fully played again from that time. City have been given 2 hours to return.

 

[paulchapo]

I can't believe this crank got a full page to himself to show his knickers are in twist.

It was a foul, he's snidely pulling his shirt on the refs blindside then as Bernardo turns it's visible so he lets go and he falls. If he stays on his feet as our players have done in the past the ref waves play on.

 

[laserblue]

Practise.

Not in American English.

 

[laserblue]

Good, I bet Fernie is still fuming about that **** throwing himself over the hoarding that time, wanker.

I recall Fabregas going down in the area with a high pitched shriek you could clearly hear from East level 3. He got the penalty.

 

[Kompany Car]

Fabregas? an absolute apology of a man, a total and utter ****.

The snide prick was bricking it when Fern had him by the throat.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Not in American English.

That’s fair comment, but I reserve the right to push back against the seemingly relentless Americanisation of our native spelling, especially on this board.
