Just out of curiosity why is everyone calling Mourinho Peg? Mildly annoying

Peg = Portuguese eye gouger

He did the exact same elbow last year but in flight. Reminds me of a taekwondo downward elbow strike move to break bricks.

so many players last season that I thought just couldn't play in a pep team, boy I was wrong! Players like Raheem, Fernando, Kolarov... Shows how flat things went under MP because Pep has the same players playing like world beaters.

Fair play that, can't knock a man who is willing to admit he was wrong.

Kolarov being the most notable for me, we know there was a player in the brutally brilliant fucker but finding him consistently was hard work.

Except nobody's trying to kick him in the jaw. Unfortunately.

I'll tip my hat to Kolarov too, wanted him out the door and as far away from us as possible in the summer. What a difference, what a player!

Also seemed to be the only City player big nose didn't go near to try throw his weight/elbows at.

That's the one that inflicted the cut on his eyebrow no doubt. Where's the retrospective action on that, the trial by media? Seen one hack say he gave a free kick so saw it. You see how they make these rules up as they go along!? The ref saw Aguero's incident and chose to give nothing.

Instead all we see is bravos perfectly timed 50 50 tackle with his instep! Watch the match again and in real time Neville himself states there was nothing wrong with Bravos tackle.

Yet 15 seconds later, having seen 2 replays, he also claimed it should be a straight red. That's the issue with slowmo replays, replayed over and over, they change reality, football is played at pace, and viewed at pace there was nothing in it (apart from a poor touch, that caused it to get away from him).

couple of gems from my rag boss yesterday - he was happy with their second half display and we should be better than them as we have spent 20m more than them??? think he is in denial and hurting a tad

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I've got to give credit to my best mate who's a rag and has a season ticket.

His words were. 'You were unreal first half, absolutely unreal'. Said we deserved it but was happy with the progress they've made this year, although the granny shagger needs fucking off. Haha.

My father-in-law didn't cover himself in much glory though. He reads the Star and was spouting the shite that they're pushing about Bravo and a penalty that never was.

I've watched the full game again and the future is exciting! While the rags will become more tactically astute and harder to break down, we'll grow into a slicker, fitter, deadlier and even more exciting team full of pace, youth and vigour. I'm so happy to be a blue.
