I would like an explanation from Old Mother Riley as to how a player can receive a booking for off-pitch dead-ball removal of shirt and no card for the most blatant time wasting by a goalkeeper since the last keeper turned up at The Etihad. Refs are ripping a pocket off to get the card out and all they do for timewasting is stand looking and impersonating Pontius Pilate.Referee was shocking throughout the game,I noted that he was keen to apply the rules regarding the penalty/red card against us.He didn't seem as zealous when applying the rules for multiple other incidents.
Shoving a player in the back isn’t trying to get the ball.
If he’d dived in and just missed the ball and taken Wilson out, he’d have got a yellow card.
As it was, he didn’t move his feet to attempt to get the ball, fouled Wilson and got sent off for it.
It‘s a textbook example of a DOGSO penalty and red card.
It’s as though we don’t train for penalties, we struggle to score them and can’t stop them. its poor for a team of our quality.Ederson has only saved 3 premier league penalties in just over 5 years
Grealish is rarely bad but he's not pulling up trees and that's what people are expecting. TBH, I wish he could just be quietly left to go about his business: there's too much spotlight on him individually (as there is players in general) when the collective outcome is most important. It's the world we live in though.Grealish wasn't that bad yesterday,it would be helpful for him to have a more defensively competent left back behind him,imo.

He felt nerves? What about us mere plebs then? I was shitting bricks waiting for him to take the penalty. "Pretty please, with sugar on top, don't fucking miss it!"Erling Haaland felt nerves - he felt them and spoke them as a City fan. Wow. He's ridiculous and we are lucky to have him
Granted I'm a stupid American, but what is putting tea in the oven? Never heard of it. A euphemism?Nobody has ever told us that they went home and put their tea in the oven on a post match thread before? It was bound to happen one day and awaken the sleepers :-)
Your tea is your evening scran in sunny Manchester. A scran is food. :-)Granted I'm a stupid American, but what is putting tea in the oven? Never heard of it. A euphemism?
My heart was going mental - like it was a cup finalHe felt nerves? What about us mere plebs then? I was shitting bricks waiting for him to take the penalty. "Pretty please, with sugar on top, don't fucking miss it!"
