Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Aston Villa (24/05/26)

Saw the var ‘offside’ that showed he wasn’t ‘offside’ what the actual fuck?

 

[Tolmie scores]

One for each outcome obviously!

I think VAR has always been open to manipulation and malice. Lines mean fuck all unless they take into acvount when the ball was kicked..which they don't when it suits the sky / EPL partnership

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

From the picture, I still don't get how that is offside.

It was, by his back is what they’re saying. They have nothing to gain by ‘doing us’. It is what it is.

Just watch skys coverage now like we watched kev.

Showed onside, too busy jizzing their pants to notice

 

[Tolmie scores]

KdB was absolutely impossible to replace.

Lets be fair he lost his physicality a year before he left. Modern prem you need that

 

[wolviedinho]

Back in the trenches next season blues.

I hope the team can go up a few levels.

I hate losing games no matter what.

Great support for pep.

I hate the fucking media. Awful human scumbags.

 

[Micky Blue]

Fernandinho, he just looks like a manager.

I’m hoping they announce him as Pep’s replacement.

 

[N1985]

Ferna still looking 23

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I think the PL have created the perfect ‘independent’ review system in VAR. a process that still allows them to cheat, and get away with it, with zero transparency and zero accountability when they get it wrong….

 

[iwasthere1968]

That north stand is immense

 

[citymad]

I think Pep is leaving because he doesn't trust this group of players.

He might show the love but he doesn’t trust them. You only to listen to the Walker interview this week to know that some of these players will just not be able to understand his instructions and hence you get these positional mistakes that let teams cut through us. Some of the fringe players let him down today.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Talking about not too long ago we were in the third tier.

We did that as a fan base.. 1 year in div 3 out of 130 plus years and WE drew too much attenyton to our 0.7% of 'istry. We shoot ourselves in the fking foot..always

Our academy has really only produced O 'reilly..we buy a lot of dross too.. fringe players are tge management teams doing!

 

[RobinHood]

Fucking hate Sly but fair do's for this

 

[Metal Biker]

The stadium announcer, trying to introduce Ilkay Gundogan..

Sky commentators: blah blah blah blah blah....

 

[N1985]

Fuck Sky

 

[hogismuir]

You know it's possible to win both right?

Er, yeah obviously. But life's about taking the rough with the smooth. As I get older I know you can't have it always your own way. I suppose it was a hamfisted attempt to be philosophical. Apologies.

 

[RayCTID]

Not sure that matters today. If there was something riding on it, I'd agree. For myself, the result doesn't matter. I'm happy with the performance and want the 3 of them to get a great send-off, which is happening.

Still a win or very least a point would be the best send off but VAR were more lenient towards Villa. It is going to be the same when Maresca takes over. Wasted chances included.

At least we won’t be going back to the Pearce era
