Half of our team know what winning the title is like, half of the Tarquins know what bottling it is like.

I think it is a bit too early for title talk but this is true. What is very relevant is we have key players who know about winning a title and even more importantly a manager that is a serial winner. Also, we have to hope that we are getting a bit like Real Madrid in the UCL in the sense that winning the league is becoming part of our club’s DNA, not in any entitled or arrogant way but in a we believe we can and will fight to the end. I am a great believer in the importance of the mental side of the game.

All I am sure of at the moment is that City need to improve and have the potential to do so.

I dont know about that to be honest. There has been a lot of coverage of how good we were and how we are back.

Some pundits do seem to be reappraising City. Ideally, we would stay in stealth mode for a while longer but the league table is a bit of a giveaway as it is at the point where it starts to become a bit more meaningful but is still settling down.

2 more games, and we are over 1/3 the way to the end, so it's definitely meaningful now. At the moment though, it's still pretty tight, Everton are 13th, and only 7 points behind us, with all teams taking points off each other.
 
On dippers' official protest vs the ruled out goal,
I would think the same if it was vs us.

On the other hand it's so funny that the snidey Robertson doing that NFL blocking on the keeper ends up being offside LOL. For that reason alone it should be ruled out ;)

And, if that goal was allowed as passive offside next match we would see 5 Arsenal players offside around the keeper and ducking away from a Gabriel header...

If we hadn't conceded that lucky last minute equaliser at Highbury we would be level with them.
 
Has it been mentioned that if the Doku pen had not been given then VAR should have subsequently been looking at the two blatant saves that Szoboszlai made from Cherki's follow up shots, just rewatching on motd, both clear handballs in my eyes...

For some reason the media focus on a goal disallowed rather than the dismantling by City of a favoured Pool

It has come as a handy distraction to dwell on this single incident rather than comment on the massive problems an evolving City have exposed to the Pool following

As Steve Nichol said, thank heavens it was not the City of a couple of years ago otherwise it would have been double figures.

How reliable is Steve Nicol as a pundit on :-

His former club Liverpool - is he like Flipper ?
City - does he have sly digs like Rat & Flipper ?

Unfortunately, never watch the US channel he is a pundit on, but it would be refreshing to have an ex-Dipper who is fair...

I watch Steve Nicol regularly and he's very fair, imho. ESPN is far better than Sky, but, that's a pretty low bar I guess!

Whilst I'm sure that many goals have been scored over the years with all outfield players touching the ball, I doubt that there's been one where the move starts literally as far away from goal as possible - in the corner quadrant - and progresses with such intricate beauty and finishes up in the back of the net at the opposite end of the pitch, with hordes of scouse cunts crying their murderous eyes out.

Bless!

In this clip you can see how much Robertson being in an offside position affected Donnarumma.

i feel like this is something that has been discussed before, possibly last season, but anyway;

Is Roberston offside when he's pushing? If you cant be offside from a corner, when is he offside? As soon as someone from his team touches it (in which case the pushing has ended as is 'foul' or 'not foul') or from some strange interim period when the ball is in the air?

The stupid defeats to Brighton (especially) and Spurs are what has really hurt us. I thought we were a little unfortunate at Villa but that was one of those defeats that you just have to take on the chin: you can't win them all.

Overall, we probably should be sitting on more points.

Saw it on ESPN Channel.
It was more a rant really and came at the end of his criticism of all the Pool players and particularly the inactivity of their manager during a disastrous first half for Lpool.
To be fair he praised Pep and City but blamed Lpool mostly for the defeat.
