A post to cheer us up a bit.
We are all rightly fuming.
Of course it was a penalty of course it was a goal. We were the victims of poor officiating... again.
But there was something else going on that I noticed and now The Independent has too. The real news was how good City were. Really really good... like off the scale good.

Not even VAR can stop us if this continues. Get ready for much more and the cries of “put a stop to all this cruelty” as we got after Watford.
This is Pep’s 4th season and each season we have improved our system.
Clubelo is pretty good at comparing dominance over time. Pep now has 3 of the best teams of all time in the top 10...
1. Barcelona in 2012 rating 2107
2. Bayern in 2014 rating 2104
7. Manchester City rating now 2043
Pep was so pleased with City because he knows what is coming. We are heading on a course to be as good as his other two teams this season.
I’m not saying that bad decisions won’t matter but they will matter less and less if we carry on like this. It will just mean that we will win by a two goal margin instead of three or four.
Be happy. This might be the best team you will ever see...don’t give up going now because VAR and the handball rule are interfering with your enjoyment. They will be sorted in time and so will the rest of the league.
