Maybe he should ask the officials to stop favouring them with decisions. They would have a much easier schedule.

That would have cost Nottingham Forest a lot of money too I would think. It was a fine tribute, unfortunately I doubt it will be reciprocated.

Plus in that game, didn't Cancelo have the ball in front of him, under control, with his back to the attacking player, before contact was made. It was quite a similar situation with the Rodri "handball " despite the hardball incidents with Liverpool being waved away twice against City and...

Leicester and Cardiff got the same treatment in the cups too, the sending off for Arsenal wasn't " missed" though. City, Villa, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Villa in the league. It was the same last time Liverpool " won" the league.

The rags last cup " win" was the same, helped through every round and again in the final.

They remember the rules against "simulation" occasionally. I remember United against Villa, it was a close game and the United keeper brought down a Villa player. Rather than give Villa a penalty they gave a yellow card for " simulation ". Same again yesterday when City under 23 team played...

I think they have had contentious decisions in their favour in most of their cup games. A sending off for a leg breaker against Leicester waved away at the beginning, a sending off against Chelsea and a Chelsea goal ruled out for " offside " in the final and similarly against Cardiff in the F.A...

Thank you. Good luck to you too, especially as you have Mikel Arteta.

I agree that City have had some decisions, I think we have been refereed more fairly than what we have been used to. I think City let themselves down in certain games. Luck has deserted us in others too, whereas Liverpool seem to get the luck and the decisions that have made a difference. There...

I'm not so sure if we have been very lucky with decisions or just seem to have been refereed more fairly this season. Liverpool continue to be refereed favourably as was seen yet again last time at Anfield. I think the fuss made over the handball against Everton was a " slight of hand" to...

Momentum is gained quite easily though when players are immune from being sent off, leaving them available for following games. Or penalties given whenever needed whilst waved away for the opposition. If Liverpool would have had a player sent off against Leicester and Chelsea or Cardiff their...

Some even claim it shows that they are a better side with a better manager. Without decisions in their favour in the league and cups and with a change in fortune for both clubs this wouldn't even be a debate.

Time and again I read that Liverpool didn't play well but got the luck and the decisions to swing the game. It happened in the cups and the league. Without that their season could have been over before it began. Similarly with a little luck City could have been clear. This is why I don't...

Good post. I have become quite philosophical recently. As Pep Guardiola has said " It is what it is" I think City take the long view and that's why City have been successful for more than a decade . Manuel Pellegriini spoke of a wholistic approach, that includes a style of play throughout the...

They are still getting decisions to this day based on their "history". They both got investment decades ago giving them a tremendous head start. Then FFP was brought in to hold back Chelsea and City. It's interesting that this has been forgotten by the media and supporters of other clubs...

Unfortunately nowadays the media write the narrative. A lot of " history " has been rewritten and accepted as truth.

Did he even get that for similar against Arsenal? I think it was on Tierney?

If people really looked back at " history " I think they would be very surprised with what they found.

"And - which is more- you'll be a Man my son!" Rudyard Kipling. I grew up a Blue thanks to my dad. I thank my lucky stars every day. We have never had it so good but all the heartache made it even sweeter. I agree that it is character building.

That's the one, thanks.
