Chris Sutton's opening gambit on 5live is that Silva's wasn't a pen because he was already going down, but Odegaard's was. Just turned the shit off as it's so fucking obvious that he's just trying to be 'different.'

Chris Sutton on 5 Live - 'Bernardo foul wasn't a penalty because he was already on his way down...'

Well:

1. That's bollocks because the defender ALREADY had hold of him before he went to ground.

2. Regardless of point one it WAS STILL A FOUL.

Clueless C*NT!!!

It was when he walked over broken glass barefoot from Arsenal to join us but we told him to fuck off so he stopped at Wolverhampton instead.

Eh? You need to brush up on your transfer snubs.

Well, no. But I think he’s not far off. He’s not a City fan when he’s at work. That’s why he’s good.

I think he may be using 'fortunate' in a slightly different context. The sending off looked fine, but City didn't really work to engineer it. Neither card was to do with City brilliance, but Gabriel's idiocy - in that context, it could be seen that City were a bit fortunate.

We know the media and TV are incredibly biased against us but their is a real desperation in their moaning and complaining! We are a well oiled machine showing increasing maturity! The structures within the club look very sound and other clubs are increasingly finding it difficult to compete. I am reminded of the Liverpool sides in the late 70's and 80's when they managed games extremely effectively and always seemed to have the edge in crucial moments. The other major point that rarely seems to be put across especially by City pundits is that Manchester United must inevitably have a far greater wage spend this season, infact probably most seasons! The money accusations are becoming increasingly inaccurate and need to be argued against!

In defence of Liverpool in the 80s. Opposition fans used to say they were lucky because they got so many late goals.I remember Bob Paisley explaining that it was a deliberate tactic. They used to toy with the opposition and then blitz their opponents' goal in the periods just before half time and the 90 minute mark. No luck was involved.

Bet typing the first 4 words of that felt weird

I’d argue Jesus’s brilliance led to the second card!!

The following article, previously mentioned, is spot on as to the BT coverage:

Arsenal v Man City brilliance showed us broadcasters do not care for the game or viewer

A brilliant game between Arsenal and Man City was reduced to the same boring VAR talk as BT Sport seemed to think there was no other choice.
