It was all over a bit of nothing, a shove in the back by Gibbs-White, a bit of argie-bargie, barrel chesting stuff by the both of them, whatever that is, I’m sure if they look at themselves in the morning doing that, they’d be embarrassed. Then Rodri just lost his cool, whether the Forest player said something, who knows? But blimey, he should know better than that, how about, “I’ll show you the medals at the end of the game”…anything, rather than get involved in a tussle, that’s what teams want and he fell for it.

Yep. And he'll be targeted from now on. Rival players will try to wind him up. It was all so needless.
 
According to the bbc football website….
His dismissal made City's task much harder on the day, and also means his side will be without him for the forthcoming matches against Wolves, Arsenal and Brighton.

Rodri was a fucking idiot but Taylor allowing a bunch of cart-horses to kick lumps out of us all game was the reason why there was so much animosity on the pitch.

It was a good win in the end with Forest creating next to fuck all even with an extra man for 45 mins.

The worrying thing is that midfield without Rodri. Nunes looks fine on the ball but off it, he looks a bit lost. Philips is Philips, looks completely out of his depth. We need Kovacic and/or Stones fit, and sharpish.

Any idea when Kova May be back?

Why, he was following their instructions as he always does v us, look at his performance away at Arsenal, away at Dippers where he said he will let fouls go then rules out our goal for a slight foul in the build up, Chelsea away etc.
He is the 1 ref i fear getting above all others even Oliver for screwing us over.
He started in the 2nd minute today and let them off 2 bookings in the 1st 10 minutes then books Akanji and Pep shortly after for their player standing on the ball and falling over
 
Rodri deserved to be sent off. A fucking idiot.
That said Taylor- what a fucking disgraceful refereeing performance.
Allowing Forest to do the rough house stuff without sanction.

This is the best side pep’s ever had.

The defence is so good, Ederson is in the form of his life by a distance, Haaland is a cheat code, Foden is on his way to that level and the new players are all fitting in fantastically.

We would have won that game with 8 men. Pep loved it, haven’t seen him that animated for a long time.

You're spot on.
It's one thing to play great football and win consistantly, but dealing with cloggers is another thing entirely.
We've got the best squad ever assembled in the prem, the only weakness is we aren't aggressive enough. Let's see some arrogance, test those reffs, let them send one off, we still win.
Fuck em
 
Agree with most of what you say but to call one of most outstanding players a fucking idiot is a bit harsh to say the least for what he has produced over the last few seasons
 
Forest were utterly boring in the first half. They did sod all.

We were in control and coasting. Scored two nice goals (the first was brilliant!).

It would have petered out to a boring 3-0 with half the stadium gone by 85 minutes and nothing happening for the last 20 minutes. But the sending off (Gibbs White is a cheat hut it’s still a red card) made it interesting and brought some excitement to the game.

Only bad thing is Rodri will miss Arsenal away and we don’t have Gündoğan anymore to play there.
