Media Discussion - 2023/24

I thought big games decisions went against us.

Rags gifted a pen at the Etihad - consolation
Rags ridiculous offside at swamp - cost us 3pts
Arsenal gifted a pen at Emirates - consolation
Arsenal no pen for KDB - consolation
Dippers at Anfield - disallowed goal for infractions that ref made a point of not giving - at least 1pt

All of those can be attributed to VAR

The Anfield one was particularly annoying.

Funny how no one in the media is accusing Sir Harry Hotspur of being a greedy ****?

I’m waiting for the fuckin weasels to pull ‘Bingo’ up for his hypocritical bullshit if they sign the lad from Brighton, I’ll put good money on it not a single one has the bollocks to ask him to his face.

Achieving this would undoubtedly reinforce our claim as the greatest ever.

I agree we already are in my sky blue world. They don’t cite the real footballing reasons why it’s so difficult though, they just say it because they don’t want us to do it.

The Arsenal pen at the Emirates was the worst of the lot and entirely down to Taylor (I guess VAR could have asked him to take a second look). I’ve never seen a keeper penalised for accidental contact after the player has got a shot away and on target before or since.

And you won't again. Similar to the Sterling pen at Stoke?, Taylor talking to the spurs captain re that dirty fucker full back etc etc.

All one-offs and they'll find something else this season to try and do us over.

Fully expecting Caicedo to be called the 110m man now, after Grealish got the 100m man all year. Cheers media.

I think the OT offside & then Anfield disallowed goal both were out & out cheating where you can’t just blame interpretation, they had to go 1 step further.

Currently in benidorm, just seen a little Spanish kid in full City kit. Brilliant. Clearly the English media campaign isn't working. :)

I've just returned from a week in Almeria, plenty of City shirts about. Spoke to a few locals about City, everyone very complimentary about us. Alvarez very popular with the Spanish

Nothing in the fail yet about 110m man. Strange that.
