I hate MOTD, bunch of arrogant bastards and when we have the "nerve" to call them out on their bullshit, they will try and say it's us with the problem.
Two things:
The Sterling offside was marginal enough to be forgiven, you wouldn't think so with the way Shearer went on about it(surprised they left in the commentators remarks about how little there was in it... someone on the editing team probably got a bollocking for that), secondly neither the defender or the keeper would have got near that and they knew it, they weren't ready for it and looked immediately for an easy out. Having said that he was offside, if it was a decision that went against City I know the tone they would have used would have been all about taking pressure off the ref and the defensive errors that led to that shot that was going in anyway would have been magnified, finishing off with it being an example for the need for video referees in the game. The thing they don't realise is we would rather have video referees because for every one "lucky" decision we've had there have been 3-4 bigger(not marginal) decisions gone against us, we'd be in a much better position(if not challenging for the title, then 2nd place).
The skysports replay angles showed(more than one) the initial contact for their penalty came outside the box, so it should have been a freekick(commentary both agreed on this, did the post match team agree too?) yet they find an angle for Shearer that looks as though was on the line just about(or they paused it at a place where their was contact while he was already going down?). Next Shearer says we were lucky to have it disallowed and it's a stupid rule even though the ball ended up going in a different direction thus completely fooling the keeper, which was the reason why Willy was so quick to point it out. That's just as much reason for the rule, obviously when you are able to look at things objectively you would have thought of that as another reason for the rule(as well as to stop them passing it around the keeper) but when you're a biased idiot stealing a living as a pundit, totally up his own ass you may have difficulty seeing sense in it.
We were also the better team, the stats make it look as though we battered them and we probably should have had we been more clinical and decisive up front.
Oh and Shearer reckons Arsenal would rather have an FA cup with than finish in the top 4 so we've had the worst season out of anyone in the top 6 even if we finish 3rd(which is in our hands to do). Is that much different to Spurs when you really think about it, since they only have their finishing position and no silverware to be happy about? I'm not even sure I'd swap positions with the rags being in the Europa League final, it may be silverware but the league is a bigger indication of how good or bad your season has been(they haven't even been impressive in the Europa, performance wise against teams they should be beating comfortably).

Well, I just figure it's about time a couple of officiating breaks go our way. I had to miss the second half and was surprised we didn't put a few more in.

Yeah but this is a discussion about MOTD's coverage of City this whole thread isn't it? :)None of this matters though really, does it. Final score:City 2 Leicester 1. End of story.

I've stopped watching it - the BBC are wankers as far as were concerned and I fucking hate Lineker and Shearer who both make no bones about their allegiances and are biased as fuck. My blood pressure is better of as a result and my TV is now safe from me putting my foot through the screen when either of those 2 wankers is on.

strange i always liked lineker until he started using twitter, now he tweets muck constantly like he is a doo-good-er. He has turned into total shite as a host, but no one on MOTD is qualified to cover the job.
I miss Des Lynam....... the show went to shit after he finished up.
