That's just not true. It was not half full. Far fewer went than usual. Why add to the nonsense?

Totally agree. He gave his all at City. What a load of knobheads booing him.
If you remember Millner was clapped last year when he came back. Since he left he has been getting in sly digs at us and pandering to the Liverpool cult with his many interviews. He rarely spoke when he was with us but a bit like Scholes since he retired he now appears to never shut up. Add to that his arm swinging celebration when he scored against us last season and you can see why he got some stick on Sunday.

Lets also not forget Lallana, when he missed that chance he was 5 yards offside and it was not 'second phase' Had he scored that, it would have been a travesty and yet further evidence of the corrupt nature of the officials..
Did the liner flag because we were offside? The angles I've seen suggest he was right.

Lallana was never offside. He was in an offside position but didn't interfere with play. "Second phase" isn't in the rules but if it means anything, when he had the chance it was second phase.The same corrupt lino that offsided us the whole fucking 1st half.
Start naming names, pls.

Rather than berating officials, over which we have no control, I'd like the kit man (or whoever has the job, as it certainly won't be the players), to put some studs in the players boots. I've never seen a group of players fall over as regularly as City this season (and we've probably been the worst for it for 3/4 years now, as well). They couldn't keep their feet against Monaco and against Liverpool, both Clichy and Stones fell over in our own box and Clichy fell over prior to the penalty. Aguero and Sterling both fell over in the same incident (second half, Aguero clean through after 1-2 with Sane). Sterling fell over going in with Mignolet along with a few others. Sorting the footwear is within our gift.

Apart from single-handedly losing us 2 points. And the not being excellent bit. Yes apart from that, I'd agree.Not sure if anyone has said but thought Clichy was excellent- for once today.
More seriously yes he had one of his better games but I'd hardly call it excellent.

it does. We've had penalties this season that we shouldn't of had.

I fully understood Lampard not celebrating his goal against Chelsea. Didn't hold it against him at all. Of course, Milner does not and never did have anything like the status here that Frank Lampard had at Stamford Bridge, and it didn't much bother me that he celebrated his penalty. I also never held it against him that he went to Liverpool. But I did boo him at the end, in a bantering kind of way. And I virtually never boo players (wouldn't think of booing one of our own, just wouldn't think of it) unless I believe they are clearly cheating. Thus, I did boo Suarez against us on Boxing Day, 2013 because the fucker just kept falling over in the box. Thing is, we're getting utterly sick of Raheem Sterling being booed by their lot. Milner will probably never be booed again by us, because we really don't care, to be honest. But I bet you that Raheem continues to be booed by that lot.
Anyway, all this is not even a storm in a teacup. It's one in a thimble.
Penalties? No, sorry, I really don't think they're evening themselves out this season. At all. They will do over the decade, perhaps. I will concede that we've had maybe a couple of soft penalties awarded in our favour, that were at least debateable (for instance, I think the one on Zab at West Ham we wouldn't have much liked if it had been awarded against us, but in any case you can hardly say it made much difference in the end to the result). What we're looking at here, by contrast, is stone cold penalties or red cards. Luiz on Aguero where he is clearly past him and Luiz is the last man; Kyle Walker on Raheem; the Liverpool defender (can't remember who) who put his arms right around Kun on Sunday (it doesn't even matter if he was slowing him down or not, that is no part of tackling, especially in the box, so it is a foul, so it is a penalty, end of story); Milner clattering into Raheem in the second half, with no chance of getting the ball, when Raheem is through and about to score. These are not soft, well-maybe, well-maybe-not sorts of situations.
Anyway, we move on. Neutrals greatly admired our match, and the dippers played their part. As neutrals greatly admired our two matches against Monaco. Not much of a consolation, but I know I'd rather watch that than the unutterable dross played out at the Riverside. Nobody can consider this to have been a good season exactly, least of all Pep himself, but if we do cement top four, and get through to the final of the Cup it is, let us say carefully, acceptable, as a first season from Pep, on condition that there is a significant improvement in his second season. That's the way I see it, anyway.

Have we had a gif of the Milner foul on Sterling yet?
The potential leg breaker? In the debate about whether it was a penalty or not the fact that Milner put in a potential leg breaker on Sterling is being brushed aside. Look how high he catches him, it's an outrageous lunge and if the ref missed it then it should dealt with retrospectively.

another seriously bad challenge was Mignolets sprint out and double fisted lunge at Sterling as he is through on goal ,never gets near the ball,but all Sterling can do is nudge the ball to one side and jump out of the way or he would of been poleaxed

Sorry, he'll be told to say he saw it and thought it was OK.
It's not Specsavers they need, it's an orthopaedic surgeon to put a backbone into them to stand up to PiGMOL and the FA. But they won't, as they're too afraid of losing their brown envelopes, sorry again, jobs.

And don't forget, having been poleaxed Oliver would've booked him for diving.

got a question about skysports only showing offsides when its a close call or offside when city play
3 times in the first half city was flagged for offside but sky never shown them WHY but then they show the sane one when it was just off
now the lallana miss the first past over the top to firmino was never shown by the line camera but they shown it at every other angle but the line (this says to me its offside) and it looks offside in the other angles i seen
its all in the ear of the ref and somebody sat in the tv van or in the ref office and told what to show they have somebody controlling the replays and its so easy to see why manchester city are getting done over this season and why even make it more obvious to the watch public

Yep, my first thought when they failed to show Sterling's alleged offsides was he must've been on.

yeah its criminal they defo know what and where to show the highlights in the game
there was an aguero offside aswell that never even looked close i think i seen a liverpool player in the box or just on the line and aguero started his run well outside the box again never shown just gloss over and move on fast
Firmino is outside the area when the ball is played with two city defenders two yards inside the area playing him onside.3 times in the first half city was flagged for offside but sky never shown them WHY but then they show the sane one when it was just off

I agree - a bit suspicious when they don't show close ones. Or when at the game we didn't get the Milner foul replayed - said at the time it must have looked like a penalty. Worth asking who controls the match day replays at the ground!

at the ground you are not aloud to show highlights that can bring the crowd to blow up
its the skysports the highlights in game that are being filtered to not show the ref or lineman in the wrong you can see it when its close and the lineman is talking in his mic to somebody else than the ref the ref does not control the offside so why talk to him about it

i called that as a penalty as Sterling wouldve reach ball before going out
They certainly haven't shown all the angles on that one.
So someone decided not to show a clear penalty. Who?
