we gotta agree to disagree thenYou must be fucking joking..soft as fuck .. perfect height for the keeper and nowhere near the corner..
Fuck me I have a fucked up knee replacement and I could hit the ball harder than that and with more precision..
If you think that was almost perfect then you must be fucking drugged up
You must be fucking joking..soft as fuck .. perfect height for the keeper and nowhere near the corner..What the fuck are you on drugs? It was almost perfectly in the corner with plenty of power
Mate from day 1 you have had a go at him..it's tedious..so Grealish's averageness is on Pep who has won everywhere he has been and managed the very best players in the world including with us and got great consistent performances out of players and improved the likes of David Silva, Aguero etc ....where nearly every player who has been managed by him (including Henry) has said that he makes them see football differently and improved their understanding of the game - yeah ok!
Im not slagging him as a person...probably a decent bloke - but as a player he has been overhyped from the start by our own fans and the media (and weirdly even by some opposition fans)
Not down on him at all - just calling out the bullshit that surrounds him about how supposedly good he is - and he aint
We definitely disagree..we gotta agree to disagree then
Of course they've been mandated to play their best squads. It's a succession of glorified post-season friendlies and FIFA don't want people to recognise that fact. All it will do is lead to more injuries and more tired players.Worst part about all that CWC shite is that as of this year clubs are mandated to player their best squads. It’s completely ridiculous. https://www.skysports.com/football/...clubs-take-strongest-squads-to-new-tournament
Ian Wright also… surprisinglyCrazy that Rooney is our biggest cheerleader for a terrible decision going against us in a cup final
Poor penalty all round.You must be fucking joking..soft as fuck .. perfect height for the keeper and nowhere near the corner..

How would that free kick be awarded? The ref and lino missed it and VAR can't award a free kick without the red card for the keeper for a DOGSO.Notwithstanding, the issue is did the keeper handle the ball outside the box?
I believe that he did, so at the very least City should have had a free kick.
If you think that's a decent penalty, you're deluded. Henderson saves it about a metre inside the post and at the perfect height for any diving keeper. I'd expect any professional keeper to save that if they picked the right direction and they'd be criticised for letting it in if they did go that wayWhat the fuck are you on drugs? It was almost perfectly in the corner with plenty of power
All those opinions,fine. I disagree, but they are yours and you are entitled to them.
But you have never seen a drop off of this magnitude before? Fucking really?
There are too many to even begin listing, and we are nowhere near them.
We lost a final. But we DID reach a final ffs. We did not win the league, but we are still in amongs the top and not below mid table.
Something previous dropoffs have not managed
seasons not over yet.once upon a time there was the grand daddy of all drop offs. and it was city.
as we all know, in 1937-38 City became only team to be relegated the season after winning the league.
Hilariously we were relegated as top scorers in the league.
now that was a drop off
only City.
You are correct, the free kick should have been awarded before var got involved.How would that free kick be awarded? The ref and lino missed it and VAR can't award a free kick without the red card for the keeper for a DOGSO.
People have mentioned that Alvarez should not have been sold. He wanted out because he was not a guaranteed starter. The reason being that he frequently lost possession which is a capital offence in any Pep team. That must have impacted upon other members of the side hence the continual passing backwards as opposed to taking a risk. If you recall the same treatment was given to Sane.
At least then a few of the players should have a half decent season.seasons not over yet.
maybe 115/116 will come out before
and its div 3.
that would be a drop off.
;-)
I'm not sure how much incompetence came into the entire officials team decision. They are professionals and it was clear what happened and what should have resulted. Make no mistake about it, the decision was made so as to keep the game on an even footingI know it's been done to death,but I still can't get over ,not only the incompetence of the ref ,who obviously got swept along with the occasion, and the desire for the underdog to come good,but VAR now trying to come up with some convoluted reasoning to justify their incompetence.
Whilst many other fans are revelling in our discomfort, they should just consider how our game is being mismanaged.
That’s the bit that is wrong about it. If the ref didn’t see it then surely the protocol should be for him to have a look at it and be asked the question. “If you had seen this, what would you have given”You are correct, the free kick should have been awarded before var got involved.
However, to my mind, the ref made a clear and obvs error in the first place so should have been called to have a look at the monitor at that point.
The use of VAR needs to be examined and rectified to prevent this in the future.
It's a funny old thing, Entitlement. It hides a flurry of different background noises. You are correct in assuming that some fans expect the earth and will be upset when we don't take the moon as well (figuratively speaking).There's some right entitled twats in all fanbases. I didnt think it would be the same with City given our history and seeing united be that.
Would then mean every missed free kick was given? Games would last about 4 hours.You are correct, the free kick should have been awarded before var got involved.

But a lot of critical fan opinion will also be echoed in the corridors of power at the club.
Fans' high expectations, I hazard, are actually lower than the managers, players, and owners.
You want entitlement running your football club because anything less than perfect should be ripped away and chucked in the bin.
Don't slate the fans for aiming as high as the club do.
And don't round on the fans who are deeply disappointed that the plan isn't going to plan.
