Fulham (H) | PL | Post-Match

[Petetheblu]

Just in the car and feeling great.

What a team we have, nearly 70 minutes with 10 men and we controlled it and eventually got a deserved win.

If I was a Fulham fan I'd be embarrassed by that shit show....fucking embarrassing.

Well played City and that ref Darren English can fook off the cheating ****.

 

[Don Karleone]

wow we were lucky, about time...

100% agree.

There you go, a none rag video.


Yes they did and I'm buzzing with the win. Still wasn't a pen imo. That okay with you?

I'm obliged to go along with you in recognising that it looks very soft. It's one of those penalties where the player often says “There was contact”. Which is a meaningless phrase.
In the light of the whole game, though, where every stat and the evidence of our own eyes says that we more or less totally outplayed the opposition for sixty-five minutes with ten men, we richly deserve the three points. No?

Loved Haalands ode to Kun with his celebration!

I came off Match Day thread just before half time. Then I’m wandering round the house chewing on my scarf/badges chanting to myself ‘Come on City, come on City’ as if my life depended on it!!! ;-) :-)



I was sorting books out for sending to the BHF and found my signed copy of ‘The good, the mad and the ugly’ by Andy Morrison where he wishes me Merry Xmas! Couldn’t help thinking I hope those boys do it for you today Andy!! :-)

Oh I know the feeling. I could just about cope with watching it, but having that thread by the side of me at the same time would have pushed me over the edge!

The MEUN on the ball again….

 

[aguero93:20]

We are definetly NOT winning an appeal against that red..it is what it Is...we move

We will, triple jeopardy, can't give a penalty and a red for an honest challenge, it was shoulder to shoulder and that's a challenge for the ball.

 

[Don Karleone]

From the other angle it looks a clear penalty.

Enough to make him go down like that? We slag Salah off for doing the same, I'd rather not be like them twats

 

[madloaf]

wow we were lucky, about time...

We earned it by the way we played. No luck required.

 

[hateutd]

Alvarez really great yeah. Bernardo unfortunately I guess, because of his wife etc, will not sign a new one and that would be a huge loss if it happens :(
He has adapted to Pep style excellently and is one of the greatest gears in our engine, even though his attacking contributions(goals+assists) are not that great.

A divorce with his wife would be fine for us....

 

[aguero93:20]

Loved Haalands ode to Kun with his celebration!

Yeah that was fucking class :)

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

If Pep dont sign after that he never will :)

 

[ancoats]

Insane effort from everyone but special shouts to Bernardo and De Bruyne.

Bernardo was spent at the end. Whatever the demands with a new deal to keep him at city, just give it to him

 

[HelloCity]

100% agree.

Totally deserved. Arguably the most we’ve deserved to win a game for weeks. A draw would have been a travesty.

No arguments from me there. They got what they deserved, fuck all.

I have a soft spot for Fulham and their manager who seems a good guy - but my word how utter shit was the ref today. It seems it's ok to rake down a players Achilles - something that could really damage a career yet he books Bernardo for having the gall to question why something is not done when he was fouled three times in short order.

Justice was done and the scenes at the end are moments that galvanise a team - love the passion showed by Pep and his men. An absolute world class finish from Alvarez was overshadowed by a shite ref - all in all a great result. I do think we need to try and play a left footer as left back - Cancelo caught on the wrong side again defending a simple ball forward but glad that cometh the hour cometh the man and we won. Did think John had a really decent game but Nathan was far too dithery in possession. Later this year we need to settle on a regular back four they looked a bit nervous but hey to do that with 10 men is pretty good. Beers on Cancelo tonight!

Need to dry off now - we really could do with a better roof!

Yes, back four not nailed in. World Cup influenced rotation to blame. Mad fixture list.
As you say, after the WC we need to settle down in that dept. And Dias needs to refind his form.
We fought the ref, but the ref lost.
Well done blue boys.
Onwards and Upwards, City.

 

[yeseye]

That’s what happens when you park the bus and waste time against 10men ffs!
They had zero ambition to win that game!
12 vs 10..
Never in doubt,
Business as usual.

 

[SWPISHOME]

And even though it helped today, the game is much the worse because of it

The officials have a lot to answer for regarding this, If you get fouled and be honest and stay on your feet you get fucked over...Because they don't do their job properly you have to make a meal of it.

He milked it for sure but was kicked on the ankle and so it was a foul and thus a penalty. You can see Robinson doesn't even really protest. He knows he kicked him and he knows it's not getting overturned.
