Course he is but spinning and distorting things by only complaining about decisions that went City's way isn't opinion. Its just plain old bias and bias is exactly what Andy Gray is, for all his flannelling.
.
It's not about opinions though, it's about the laws of the game and they are quite clear. Handball has to be deliberate. Law 12 says a free-kick or penalty will be awarded if a player "handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)". There is no definition of what constitutes deliberate handball though. I would argue that neither Lescott or De Jong was guilty of deliberate handball for the penalties given against them. Both were jumping and it's virtually impossible not to jump without raising your arms. De Jong didn't even know where the ball was.TonyGrealishstache said:He's entitled to his opinion, just because we/you/I dont agree doesnt make him a twat or biased. Football = Opinions.
Bluemoonbaldboy said:I posted a thread a while ago praising him for big upping us I take it all back. He is arguing Richards should have been penalised for handball for Ade's goal. He has banged on and on then showed how Lescott moved his arms out of the way as the Tevez free kick flew past him. For me the MOTD commentator called it right Richards jumped and tried to get his arms out of the way there was no intention to handle the ball.
Just wondering if Mr Gray has been told to tow the line at sky that we are poison to their "big 4 tm"

Hardly anyone has singled out the greatest ever defensive midfield performance that the premier league has ever seen. Nige destroyed Chelsea's entire midfield quartet virtually on his own. So yeah... have we recieved ANY credit yet? It seems the pundits are only interested in talking about refereeing decisions, but what about our PERFORMANCE???

you must've read the sunday times match report. As a bitter and twisted rant it comes second only to the one in the sun a few weeks back.
I#ll sum it up if you can't be arsed reading it. DJ is average, Kompany has never been good and Hughes is a twat.
