I thought big games decisions went against us.

Rags gifted a pen at the Etihad - consolation
Rags ridiculous offside at swamp - cost us 3pts
Arsenal gifted a pen at Emirates - consolation
Arsenal no pen for KDB - consolation
Dippers at Anfield - disallowed goal for infractions that ref made a point of not giving - at least 1pt

All of those can be attributed to VAR

You forgot the rags leveller in the Fa cup final to get them back into a game they had done nothing in up to that point. Does that get given up the other end? I doubt it.

What a berk Simon Stone is. 5 Live just now saying the entire 'problem' with the Premier League is that we might win four in a row. But it will all be OK if Arsenal or Newcastle do it.

Followed by Natalie Pike introduced as a 'Burnley' fan, and asked by Nicky Campbell if she could 'pretend to be a Burnley fan', to which she says no 'I'm a Man City fan with a podcast' lol. So Campbell asks her to comment on 'the greatest team in the world, Man United' - but only after telling her she's 'too young to remember the bad old days'. Honestly.

Guy really is a cock. Was it 13 in 20 odd years for the unwashables? Of the other winners, arse and Chels won it 3 times. But we're ruining football by dragging up the standards, innovative tactical thinking, and having brown owners?! If only it were the 90s again :-0

What a fuckin prick Levy is - suggestions appearing that he has now revoked permission for Kane to travel to Bayern for talks. Wouldn't be surprised to see HK down tools, he has had more than enough reasons to do so in the past.

Harry Kane should play all season at Spurs and then refuse to sign a contract extension, leaving on a free to whoever in England. That will be his revenge for not letting him go to City.
 

The state of this from Simon Stone. The CEO deserves credit for outspending everyone else. Congratulations!!! Well done!!! Fantastic effort!!! The state of the BBC is a complete and utter shambles. The sooner Stone and his ilk are gone the better. As a FOC I will miss seeing the balancing out of the coverage as young kids aged 4/5 who are becoming City fans start enetering the media in 30/40 years

That is a fucking joke. This **** is getting worse.

"Out-negotiated".

Chelsea - £90m
Liverpool -

Feels ironic (football being ruined by crazy prices etc…) that he’s just said this:

“

Liverpool deserve credit for Caicedo deal​

ec73c1ae-13a6-4f20-8c1a-9e2f31967a38.jpg

Simon Stone
BBC Sport
Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan comes out of the Moises Caicedo deal with an immense amount of credit.
Whilst Chelsea were constantly linked with the Ecuador midfielder - and had a succession of bids turned down - Hogan worked quietly behind the scenes, establishing what deal was acceptable to Brighton and how to put it together.
In public, their actions have been swift and decisive.
We won't know until he starts playing how big a transfer Caicedo to Liverpool is but the suits at Anfield have definitely out negotiated their counterparts at Stamford Bridge.”

This would be hilarious and typical spurs under the ‘business’ man

It hurts my brain just trying to think about how/what they will stitch us up with at Anfield this season.
The media are now easily prepared there to take extra pics of Pep being perplexed and merge them with piss taking headlines.
How come this fixture as never been investigated, when it as now become an annual event for controversy against us?

Last year Pimob didn't expect us to win consecutive title 3 as we were behind for so long.
This year they won't make the same mistake.

The Rashford goal and the penalty at arsenal were examples of “justifiable if you interpret the letter of the law in the most narrow way possible, which is why they are never given”.

You could maybe even include the disallowed goal at anfield at a push given it was a on-field decision that had to be overturned.

These decisions make me more suspicious than obvious clangers - especially in our three biggest games of the season away from home.

The decisions at Liverpool and United cost us six points. The decision at arsenal could have cost us two if not for grealish.

Potentially huge, title-deciding impact.

I only included prem but as per usual every rag game was managed by the PGMOL team. I’ve not even included what constitutes a foul, yellow, red.
