I haven't seen the replay but I didn't see an arm actually being grabbed, it was just two players, both with their arms out. That's why it wasn't a pen for me, there was nohing there to make Welback go down.

Just digest this for a second, Garcia will be walking away with three Premier League title medals, four League Cups and one FA Cup.

If he also collects a Champions League medal, it will be the biggest miscarriage of footballing justice since Maradona hand of God.

No wonder Kane is pissed at not winning owt.

I'm all for that miscarriage of justice! He is a donkey in disguise and we should have cashed in, but I want that Champions League win for City so will let him have his medal.

watch the second half again
early on we had a throw in deep into their half
the flag went up straight away as soon as silva got the ball
i couldnt see any contact between silva or the defender so it must have been a foul
maybe i have to watch it again if i can be arsed

Ermmmmmm whooooosssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
 
I was at the game. You guys watching the tv may have seen stuff I didnt but, frankly, brighton deserved their win. But for sure 8000 home fans and no away gives home team a huge advantage. No way brighton win that in an empty stadium.
 
Well that was total and utter gash.
I had to look at the league table for solace and discovered that if things go tits up on Sunday we might only win the title by a mere 9 points.
Still a shite performance though.
Question is losing 3-2 with 10 men away at Brighton as bad as drawing at home to relegated Fulham?
 
Brighton boss Graham Potter speaking to BBC Sport about his disagreement with Pep Guardiola: "He was disappointed with me. I was over emotional with our first goal celebration. It wasn't good from me. I apologise. It was just emotion."

I thought it would have been more them kicking fuck out of us, something they're not normally known for

Pep rightly making the point we get fuck all from anybody.


Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: "Congratulations to Brighton and their fans. I didn't see the red card but the nicest thing we have done together is win it [Premier League] on the pitch."

On Phil Foden's goal: "What a goal. It was so good. But we gave them a goal back very soon afterwards."

On the red card: "I'm not a referee. I cannot comment."

On his disagreement with Graham Potter at full-time: "What I say to him is personal. Not here."

On Ilkay Gundogan's injury: "He got a kick in the first half on his knee. We'll see tomorrow how he feels. He didn't run properly and we decided to make a sub."

Olly Golly Salt-cellar says "10,000 deranged gerbils in our leaky shed didn't help too much."

Rodri fucked the game up for us tonight, cruising at 2-0 then immediately after our second plays the shittest back pass imaginable and they score from it. That turned the match completely, piss poor from him.

Has Rodri played more than any other player this season?

He does get caught with the odd pass back to defence which he needs to sort out.

But give the guy a break he has been a mainstay for the best part of the season, in which we won the league, progressed to the latter stages of all comps, and Pep relies on...

Although think Fern will start in CL final.

Probs been mentioned regarding the bookies
Friday night Newcastle 10/1 against our second team and third choice keeper
Can anyone explain why Brighton tonight were only 5/1 with nearly our full strength side ?
Bookies knew something

They paid out to me. City HT/Brighton FT @70/1 and 3-2 @70/1 ( second bet made at HT)

No way Brighton win that without a corrupt ref you mean?
 
Such poor refereeing and BT coverage was insufferable. That is never a red card. They bring Walton in who quotes the law and they ignore their own eyes. Welbeck wrapped himself round Cancelo and fell over. That's the end of it.

Anyway. Good to see the lads up for the fight. Foden's goal was class and Ferny when he kept chucking the ball 15 yards forwards for the free kick late on was just beautiful shithousery.

Should have won the game and hope Gundogan is okay, but not a hugely bad thing to have such poor refereeing and to play with 10 men for 80mins. Lessons for Porto and a good fitness exercise. Plenty of time to rest up for Sunday and then another 6 days off before the big one where City bring the big eared trophy home!
