I'm just confused by that...

It's simple.

Agenda.

Call it what you will but it was BLATANT handball and absolutely NO NEED to do it. No one within 5 yards of him and the ball was going in anyway. Stupid!!
If that was Fernando or Mangala they would be getting slated.

i can't possibly see how it's blatant when he heads it onto his hand as he's falling down

Manuel Pellegrini (cont)

the day can't come soon enough for him to be fucked off personally and nothing I've seen in the first half tells me this fucker does anything other than tell em to go out and have a fucking kick about

no teamwork, energy, workmate or fucking organisation engineer he a fucking clown

Agree!

 

[SWP's back]

Is Fernando officially shit or is he "still adjusting to the pace of the English game?"

He's shit

I don't buy all this 'adjusting' bollocks - football is football, either you can play or you can't. Mangala can't.

cunts like you write of Demichellis this time last year v

 

[Cheadle Blue]

not intentional, got yellow carded. the crowd got them that decision, there is no way the linesman could have seen that im stunned

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Goal or no goal ,to give a yellow card is ludicrous

Not really. The only poor decision was to bother trying to play the ball at all as it was going in either way. But he tries to put his head on it and it deflects off his hand while he tries to keep his balance. I don't think any reasonable person can watch that and think it was intentional.

Big 45mins now. We're starting to open them up when we move the ball faster, but we still look one mistake away from conceding. Just need to stand strong as a collective unit and believe.
