Match Thread | Stoke City vs Manchester City (20/08/16)

[Blueband Brother]

Good start, the intensity of the pressing and coverage is solid

 

[jimharri]

Poor tackle by Bardsley, not even penalized with a free kick.

Commentator laughing at Silva avoiding a leg breaking tackle.

 

[Leto]

Nothing against the player - I quite like him actually - but Arnautovic looks like even more of a prick than usual with that hair.

So; what happens with home games? If you say the ref will change, why can't he do that today? I'd imagine there are two or three refs' kits, to avoid clashes.

Maybe the other ref kits clash with city's other kits. Fuck knows haha!

Bardsley should be off

This - horrible two footed lunge from the complete c@nt

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

I'm sorry, Vinnie was sent off for less. That's a straight red, and would be if that had been against United last night.

Shithouse Dean.

Stoke boots are going to be flying everywhere

 

[BerkshireBlue]

The same tackle got Kompany sent off in the fa cup same ref I believe

 

[I'm Blue]

Great work rate!
