The Tarquins

What kind of club fandom abandons in such way. Waves of red off the premises.

Thought the red scum were quicker vacating Wembley on their way home -presumably as far as 'round the cawnah- on that semi Yaya nutmegged Vanderrag. Could it be that tarquins are posher than cockney rags and home is not as far from the ground?

Anyway, some ístoree. There have been three huge fire drills in english football, that I seem to recall:
1- Scum at Wembleh
2- Sick swan
3- Tarquins.
Bonus
4- Candlefucks when Willie.

Back in América footie, there is a club from el Rimaq down by the Bridge in Lima. Their faithful support self named themselves el extremo celeste they reckon they are the skyblue extreme, the fandom that never abandons. Sporting Cristal won the title on 2012 and also sporting almost same Umbro kit. "La hinchada que nunca abandona" coincidentally have consistently been behind the club and is unimaginable produce such scenes of the red exodus sort.

Totally agree , If Otto had done the same to Aubemayang and claimed a foul for a little nudge in the back we would have given Otto dogs abuse , a big six foot odd strapping centre half nudged off the ball by some one the size of Aguero , Mustafi needs to grow a pair and learn about positional play.

For me it's the same as Firmino's challenge against Stones at Anflield. You need the defender to be strong in that situation, a free kick against Aguero would have been a disgrace, far worse happens during every corner!

Fun that was he other way around and Mustafi stood his ground against on Aguero There isn’t a city fan alive trying to claim that’s a genuine foul. I’m fact Aguero would get the blame for looking at the ball and having no strength or awareness

Just watched the game after being on strict radio silence in Savannah Georgia for 3 days.. ESPN managed to make it sound like a funeral parlour...Well done City on a very professional job & shame on the Arse for scarpering before the end..

Football is supposed to be a contact sport. If that is seen as a foul we might as well just use netball rules.

One of Aguero's greatest goals, it's rare to catch the brain's thinking with strikers in that split second.

If that's deemed obstruction then almost every aerial challenge would be blown up for a free. Aguero was clever, Mustafi was naive, that's all there is to it.

That's my point, he was clever and knew what he was doing. Wouldn't say Mustafi was naïve I just think he had no awareness of what was round him. Bottom line is for me if Aguero doesn't nudge him then he wins the ball. People can view it differently that's fine but for anyone to suggest Aguero was fouled need to have serious words with themselves.

This is the kind of reply that proves my point, contact absolutely but not when there is zero challenge from Aguero to win the ball. If they are both going up challenging for a ball and nudge each other so be it. When one is actively trying to play the ball and one is not then that's when I think contact cant come into it.

If you think that was a foul I despair ,maybe the cotton wool you are wrapped is getting in you eyes

Not at all, see above contact is fine but no attempt to play the ball for me is a foul yes no matter the level of impact. I had the same opinion when Stones was barged at Liverpool, I cant then change my mind to suit a city argument like many the blinkers do on here.

He didn't nudge him, he stood his ground - the kind of things defenders do 30 times a game.
