Match Thread | Man City vs. Aston Villa (22/04/25)

It's a definite pen. He kneed him the legs.

Get to fucking spec savers mate. Clearly got the ball before the man.

 

[give it to gordon]

I'm 64 and each day I understand football less and less

 

[Gesario]

I was actually enjoying the match until that point but it's sapped me again, just want this season to fucking end.

Yep Sick an tired

 

[Bluesince1979]

Not his fault at all. He’s a center mid, not a right back. He’s just doing what he’s told to to the best of his ability. I agree that he should be off though, but for who? Lewis isn’t much better, and Khus is better at right back.

Hes still shit

 

[NptonBlue89!]

They are pressing Nunes hard they know he’s the weakest link

 

[Streetsweeper]

I think what’s been forgotten in all the mayhem is the fact that Rashford is still a bellend.

Not long now

Clearly gets the ball in the replay, joke referees. We hardly ever see them keep their decisions

showed the ref every angle except the one that went with his on field decision... funny that!

 

[Mentis]

Why don't we ever "cleverly initiate contact" with the opposition? How is it applauded, does my fucking head in

City get carded for simulation when they hurdle over tackles and fall to the ground, so don't expect any favours if initiating contact

 

[waspish]

Pep loves getting yellow cards for having a go at the referee at the game but says nought in the press conference! That's where you plant the seed about referees and it's why we get don't get much at home when other clubs do..

 

[Ajm1985]

You're right - it was up the other end.

But it highlights the fact that you cannot have an ageing midfield AND Nunes with the ball up there...

The inevitable necessary sprints back only end one way, over the course of a whole match

Yep, completely agree. It's a big risk. But Dias and Bernardo should be able to stop Rashford

 

[remember arthur mann]

A typical rag dive .

 

[Metal Biker]

It's not just that he's scored, Bernardo has a real fire in his belly tonight that makes him the best player out there right now.

 

[Blu1]

Villa are for the taking here. Only way we Fook this up is by stupid mistakes

 

[TheBlueCat]

Not his fault at all. He’s a center mid, not a right back. He’s just doing what he’s told to to the best of his ability. I agree that he should be off though, but for who? Lewis isn’t much better, and Khus is better at right back.

I have no idea what you are talking about. He needlessly gave the ball away… wtf has that got to do with where he is playing or other players, who aren’t playing?
He’s shit and a liability..

 

[bluethrunthru]

...and why has VAR only shown him the worse angle that doesn't show the clear touch?

Fuck off VAR, why have you even over ruled the ref for such a minimal "possible" pen?

Fucking bent this football lark!

Clearly the drama of the race for European places needed spicing up. TWATS!

Man City 1-1 Aston Villa

Premier League

Premier League Match Centre on X: "VAR OVERTURN.

"VAR checked the referee’s call of no penalty to Aston Villa for a challenge by Dias on Ramsey – and deemed there was a clear trip and recommended an on-field review.

"The referee overturned the original decision and awarded a penalty to Aston Villa."

 

[Micky Blue]

Why did we sign Nico Gonzales at 50 million if we did not want to use him?
kdb , gundo and bernardo in same team is suicidal

Could have bought that right back for £4m more and not had to play Nunes

 

[burning blue soul]

That penalty decision really illustrates that we are in all out war with the Premier league. No other explanation.

 

[stan bowles]

Wish Nico would drive forward when he gets space...he's got the pace and power to get past the RB.

 

[mattyads]

We just dont look to run in behind anymore. So frustrating
