According to the letter of the law it was a pen, but mane made an absolute meal of it. It appears that Newton's laws don't apply to dipper players. However it was no worse than what you see defenders do at corners and what really got me was Sterling was acussed of buying a pen, creating and diving for the pen V Swansea yet no one even mentioned how mane went down like he'd been shot again.
 
So they narrowly beat Fulham with the assistance of Fulham’s own keeper and the press start to praise their ‘bottle’. FFS it’s plain as day who the best team in the league is and who plays football in a way that has never been seen before in this country and the twats who write for the newspapers still don’t acknowledge it.

But deep down, they know.

I'd like to add to that if I may, there were so many decisions bailing them out at the start of the season, that a lot of us have forgot just how many they've had. Lets try and do a recap if we can(I'm sure there's more I've forgot myself).

We should have had another penalty in the Anfield game if I remember right(some said 2). I can't really remember that game now, can anyone remember the other claims we had in that game properly?

Fulham at Anfield, benefit of doubt should have been given to the striker for the goal they scored in my view. Regardless of that, if the ref is ruling it out, it's unforgivable that he allowed the game to continue while he himself was talking to the protesting Fulham players(that is not a situation to allow a fast freekick) not only did he mess that up but in doing so he was distracted enough to miss the rolling ball quick freekick that allowed Liverpool to run up the other end and score. Game was level and Liverpool were looking short on ideas at the time.

Soft pen against Brighton, the hand on the shoulder was a stupid thing to do for the defender, but Salah sold it to the ref when he jumped and kicked his legs out from under himself, like he'd been judo swept. If that's a pen, not only are all of ours stronger shouts this season(including Bernardo's) but we should have had more(like against Wolves, Aguero and Silva). Game was level, happened in the 2nd half, game finished 1-0.

Mané put his hands around the throat of an Arsenal player in the game before we faced them, the rules are clear on this. The ref, if he saw it, has to go with a red card. If he missed it, retrospective action should have been taken. Liverpool going to the Etihad without their favoured front 3 would have been disastrous for them. The way they talk about Kompany's yellow card offense, like it's a stonewall red and a massive injustice, is a complete joke if you put the above into perspective. Not only did they have a massive let off before the game, we are that much better than them this season, that they themselves think they need a 1 man advantage on the field to have a chance.

Additional to the West Ham game, weren't there a few more offsides, in games they were level in at the time? Who can name them?

I am just glad we have had a couple of decisions to even begin to even it out, although part of me thinks it may have been better to beat them to the title without any at all(how annoyed would they be with no straws to grasp?). To hear the Liverpool fans talk about decisions going all City's way or the refs are against them, is too rich for words to convey.

Add Tottenham not being given a penalty in the closing minutes and it's another 2 points.

Their expectation was Pep would be at Arsenal or the rags and none of them believed he would come to City. Mostly malicious spite with a large dose of stupidity will never allow them to admit that the magnificent football Pep produces is better than Klopp's monotonous hoofing game.

It's strange and sad that a large majority of the very people who complained about the English game being light years behind everyone else refuse to give credit to the man who has dragged our game into the modern age.

Correct, when I see all the players from both sides standing on the half way line awaiting a goal kick it makes me cringe.

Just enjoy it. We are now in the semi final of the FA Cup with a very strong chance of winning it. Despite Liverpool's win, the league is in our own hands.

His posts are very, let's say, curious!

I predicted them to win the League even before the season started (in the season predictions thread), right after the Allison signing to be precise. Doesn't mean I want it to happen mind, but that thought is not going away yet, maybe once we are 5 points clear I'll get rid of this horrible feeling altogether.

I'll admit I was happy to see them win against Bayern as well as drawing Porto. The extra 4 games that can stretch their squad and distract them in the League is all I could think of.

Something just doesn't sit right with your posts, I'm not having a go or looking to have a slanging match with you but there is something about what you say or how you say it that raises an alarm in me. I may be way off the mark or spot on but I just thought I'd put it out there.

I'm not sure which posts you're specifically referring to, but if it is the ones like my opposition to 11 offside goals remark, you can always correct it and backup with the facts.

It's just in general really, you just post differently to other city fans. Maybe you don't view the world through blue tinted glasses like the majority of us on here.

That's probably true as I'm an overseas (JCL, glory-hunting :P) City fan. I'm more a fan of the sport than a fan of the team/country I support, and I wish the best team win even if it's not what I like. In case others do not misunderstand, let me be clear that Liverpool are not the best team in the League.
