in yesterday’s press conference the paperboy trotted out the mantra created by Rat boy, Scholes eat et al about City tactically fouling all the time and hoped the ref would stop it.
Pep was not pleased.
Amazingly today’s Times has done a double page spread completely destroying the myth that City are a dirty team and pointing out that United are far worse.
They show that in fact City have committed the least fouls of any team in the premier, that United are the fourth worst in the premier league, that United have committed more tactical fouls in their own half than City and that their disciplinary record is far worse than City’s.
They then point out that these pathetic attempts to influence refs just won’t work any more given the training refs get to be aware of it.
