That comment is why there is so much moaning about referees decisions, commentators are as bad......"not a red for me" ? it's simply the rules! Fuck all to do with what you or anyone else thinks it should be!He over did it alright, he wasn’t touched! Embarrassing!
I can kind of see why it was a red because a still of it shows he’s diving in, but not a red for me as he didn’t touch him.

It's not the point that "he didn't touch him". The challenge was a red card in accordance with the laws of the game. Regardless of it not being a red card "for you."He over did it alright, he wasn’t touched! Embarrassing!

Yep, it was a terrible tackle, badly executed by Xhaka in that he didn't connect fully (luckily).Sorry - I appreciate your opinion - but I disagree. M.O.D. pundits did too.
If that was one of our defenders, jumping in - off the ground - two footed, I wouldn't be complaining.
The decision was correct, imho.
And, what's more, Xhaka's been getting away with terrible tackles for years - yes, he's been sent off 11 or 12 times now, but, if you live by the sword, you die by it. He got what he deserved for his snidey, dangerous style of play.
2 footed, off the ground, diving in, out of control. Red all day long

Great result without being anywhere near our best. Tbh we went easy on Arsenal today.
Ominous for the rest of the league.
All those pissing and moaning about not caving into Levy and coughing up £160 million need to take a good look at themselves.

At least you are fair in your judgement. Many who'd have gone crazy had we gotten a red for that were awfully quiet.Bloody hell, just seen the red card… never a red.
And get up Cancelo you absolute tart, rolling around like he had a sledge hammer smashed against his leg.
Personally, I find 2 footed tackles to be an automatic Red. I hate slide tackles in general. Even the good ones. So I'm pro red here. Even against a City player.
I'd have been like, yup, you let the blood rush to your head.

Great day out. City were good, Arsenal clueless. Enjoyed the atmosphere up in 316.
Berni was brilliant, I hope he stays.
Onwards and upwards.

My point was simply that winning "player of the year", awards, is not the same as "team player of the year", it was not a critique of KDB.But KDB is the epitome of a ‘team’ player. No comparison with those you mention.
