I thought it was a challenge worthy a sending off. Whatever Mariner saw and judged it. Simply Aguero frustrated not picking his goal.

Personally do not think its worthy of punishment and like many I do not agree with the inconsistency of players being disciplined based on the profile of the match and the medias response to it.

Still it was not a great challenge and I glad the ref did not see as, if based on the opinions of the refs panel, he could have received additional punishment during the game.

Maybe its just me but I will never forget Messi playing as a false nine at the Bernabeu and winning 6-2. Im expecting Silva to be deployed there at Old Trafford and although Aguero has bagged the goals a false nine may allow us to dominate the game better.

There was an opportunity to charge him for a spitting incident seconds after the elbow...but surprise surprise, they didn't.

Unless he was momenterally blind the ref saw it.

Has he been arrested yet?

I'd say it was a yellow, but I wouldn't have argued too much if he got a red. What annoys me is that for a challenge which the ref clearly saw, and chose to take no action, and for which there was no contact by Aguero, the FA choose to act.

It fell before the Derby, so people like Savage, Talk Sport, Sky, the gutter press go mad, and the push the FA into a corner. if they reviewed everything it would be fair but they don't. They just review what the media make into an issue, and we all know what they make into an issue. The really glaring fouls, and the incidents that benefit the armchair army they are trying to sell papers to and get listeners from etc

West Ham's goal came from the left back run and cross. A left back who should not have been on the pitch because of repeated fouling. I am not sure if Stones left the field because of his foul, but I am sure it was him who took him out. Also there was foul after foul by him on Sterling and the ref just let him go on and on.

Good think our midfield creates and scores most of our goals. I'm sure we will be fine.

No - refs are immune ;-)
