Can't wait to see Fellaini elbow Zaba for the third time, spit on him for the third time and get away scott free for the third time.
There's always trouble when Willy goes long.haha if Willy had just played it short like he was supposed to this would never have happened.

This is how I see it, we've got manager who knows how to set up without a recognised striker, BRING IT ON!I see a positive aspect. The derby is the first game without Aguero. United have no example of how Pep will replace him. Nolito up front? No striker at all? Kelechi? Pep will find a good solution, and if Maureen doesn't guess right it will hurt them.
Arsene - that you?Now you can be looking at an incident but still not 'see it'
It's not a case of not getting it wrong again. It is a case of clear inconsistency bordering of corruption.
Costa's leg breaker? that was recently .It seems like the new rules are exclusively made for Manchester City .Again, not arguing with inconsistency, but being consistently wrong doesn't help either. They've got to start getting it right at some point, and this one was right, getting many others wrong doesn't make this decision wrong. If next week somebody goes and does the same thing and escapes punishment then serious questions need to be asked but we can't question this decision. There's clear intent and the ban is more than deserved.
Has the FA now set the precedent of reviewing decisions that the referee sees, but on review it could be seen differently. This just stinks whichever way you look at it. The ref clearly sees the challenge and at the time saw nothing in it a view held by many including ex pros however with camera angles from all direction it is fair to say it looks different and possibly an elbow so now let's see this precedent be used all season.
FA are wide open to legal action here.
Legal action? Jesus Christ. He's intentionally used his elbow and for those denying he connected, Reid was very clearly in a lot of pain and unable to speak!
Don't get me wrong, the main issue is consistency. This should happen way more often, but in no way is it an agenda against City.
He elbowed a player, he's received a ban. Right decision, move on. Similar with Fellaini and Schweinsteger last season.
And FYI most United fans would rather have Aguero playing. No one wants weakened teams playing a derby, it's a lame excuse if you lose.
I share your thoughts.Think I'm over it. In truth we don't need Aguero to go there and win, he's not the one that pulls the strings.
