Is the league, for want of a better word, ‘bent’?

But you need to look at it from the perspective that they want the redshirt clubs to do well - and a key part of ensuring that happens is for City not to do so well. That's where the corruption is in my view.

I recommend that you stop watching P/L matches... as they're all fixed, in your opinion.

The league isn't bent. There's so much conspiracy shit going on right now that it's fucking embarrassing.

Instead of leaping on the latest refereeing fuck up against our side and immediately claiming that there's a conspiracy against us... let's first examine such claims from every other P/L side. You'll find that we're fucked just as much as anyone else.

Anyhow, bitch and moan and claim conspiracy against City as you will. It's bullshit (almost certainly, but hey, such scandals have happened in the past).

The solution to all of this idiocracy is - IMO - 2 to 5 years off - in terms of AI-assisted adjudication on all calls.

A lecture from you is really .............................normal, questionable and always forgettable, however lengthy.

Can you name any? Not sure Rodri escaping a second yellow falls into this catagory.

Tbh if I had time and could be bothered to look through j could find more but for me it’s not that deep and the reason we are where we are is because of bad tactics tired players bad sub calls and pep looking like he’s done . And I agree we have had some bad ones but we get with it because we are Man City and we are better than the red scum up the road and in Liverpool.
 
The players and the manager have to have something to rally against, it is this siege mentality that works so well for successful clubs down the years. And you can chose to believe what you want. Whatever gets you through the night. But you cannot ignore what you see with your own eyes. Yes, you can point out decisions that don't go your way, but they only get mentioned when the team doesn't get the 3 points. If City win that game yesterday, which they should have, nobody even mentions the Solanke goal. Spurs were there for the taking, but for some reason the players didn't move out of second gear. There was no reaction when Spurs came back into it. You can't blame that on VAR. They didn't lose the derby because Dalot stayed on the pitch. They lost from giving a spineless performance over the 90 odd minutes. And it was the same in Bodo. Fix the problems on the pitch and the rest will even itself out.

If you actually believe that the league is bent... that there's a fix against us (and maybe other sides)... then either you're dead fucking wrong... or just as likely, there's a massive conspiracy against you personally.

Crazy isn't it. Never has there been any corruption in any football, ever.

Wasn’t really asking you to trawl thru and investigate :) but there does seem to be a considerable amount of suspicious calls against us than for us, as much to say no one can really remember a blatant call in our favour.
Rodri’s second yellow is not a comparison as some have alluded.

Indeed!

Instead, lazy thinkers, who can't critically observe all evidence with an impartial perspective, are able to leap to the conclusion that City is being discriminated against - not that referring sucks overall and that obvious decisions are fucked up for or against all teams... no... not at all. There's an obvious, massive, horrendous conspiracy against City from all levels of the FA to the extent that every single controversial call goes against City every single time but all other clubs are unaffected.

FFS!

Well yes and no. Big decisions and goals change games and often radically so. Second half yesterday with the first goal is a case in point. Not only for they change games but performances too.
So, yes City could and should have done better in the games you quote but for example the Dalot non red was a turning point for both teams.
It wasn't bent officials in Bodo - it was a poor display

A wrong decision.

But are such decisions uniquely against our club? Or is it human error?

Yes but it's how blatantly obvious that it was a wrong decision as opposed to being difficult to tell which leads to questions beyond incompetence to accusations of something else

Was it corrupt when, if you believe rags and dippers, we won four in a row? Many a rag and dipper believe that to be the case.

This year we're getting strange decisions made against us. Not sure about the past. This year our opponents are getting strange decisions in their favour, sometimes exactly the same scenario.

I don't believe in conspiracies generally, but I know corruption does happen so I'm not closing my eyes to something that is clearly wrong. The club, the manager and the players know it too, they've been more vocal about it this session.

If it all equals out like it had in the past iv got no problem but iv been saying that for months and every game right now there's a dodgy decision against us.
