So panel let's discuss the Ronaldo attempted leg breaker on KDB and the nailed on pen City were denied.

I’ve just seen Jamie Jackson’s player ratings in the Guardian…..he has City with two star men scoring 8 out of 10, Kyle Walker, which is fair and Ederson??! Now Ederson didn’t put a foot wrong, but in a game where he’s barely seen the ball how is he getting the top mark ahead of a plethora of outfield players that helped dominate the game for City.

I can only think they have an exceptionally weird way of marking players otherwise I can’t figure out how anyone paid to write about football can see that??!

Is it bollocks ridiculous. Ronaldo not getting sent off could we’ll have had a bearing on the game and the scums next 3. The penalty would have been discussed for any other team.

It really wouldn’t have. The story was clear, the failings of United and the gulf between the two teams. For some reason people are desperate to find things to moan about on a perfect day.

Have a dig at the Var ref for sure but I was personally happy with the analysis of how our players work without the ball and how tactically they managed to get numerical advantage all over the pitch.

The day after City played United off the park and won the derby at an absolute canter, this is what the Daily United is reporting today.

Nothing about City or the performance. Can you imagine the United headlines and the amount of United articles if the performance and result had been the other way around?

Pep and City will never get the credit they deserve from the Rag infested football media in this country. What the f*ck has happened to football journalism in this country?

Just up in in Durham for a couple of days. Saw a couple of families with blue shirts and scarves.

Had the Brighton/ barcodes game on last night. Seemed absolutely minimal contact but sure enough Brighton got a pen. Suppose it's all about LotG and interpretation but to me seemed excessively soft.

The point is that there was a var check for at least 2/3 mins with full review of the incident. All of which was singularly lacking yesterday afternoon at the swamp. As for the sending off of the keeper!!!!!!!

We all noticed KdB being fouled then bollock gob going in on him dangerously when both he and the ball were off the pitch. Most no comments on this.

And some on here really can see no bias in the way we're officiated or reported on?????

What about the constant fouling of our players with impunity??? Not talking being tugged of the ball but blatant body checks, and the sort of twatting injury inflicting that Danny troll Murphy would no doubt say is acceptable.......

Are we a dirty team that kick the opposition black n blue? No not should we ever aspire to. But it's getting to the stage where one of ours is going to suffer career threatening injuries due to carte blanche from corrupt pigmol.

City’s team yesterday but Ronaldo for Gundogan.

The fact they’ve got Sterling and Fernandes in there based on this season is laughable.

Don’t get me fooking started on McTominay

Perhaps you might be able to clarify something for me?

Is this McTominay of whom you speak any relation to the McTominay featured in several similar 'combined Manchester teams' prior to yesterday's game? Who was selected for said 'combined teams' featured in such august media outlets as the BBC and the Daily Mail? And who, for example, was selected ahead of City's midfield pairing of Rodri and Bernardo?

There does seem to some disparity between the McTominay we were expecting to see perform yesterday and the one who actually turned up. I gather that there are similar concerns about the other United players who featured in the various 'combined teams' run by media outlets? Do the names Maguire, Shaw, Fernandes and Ronaldo mean anything to you in this context?

Any light you might be able to cast on this matter would be greatly appreciated! And you will, I'm sure, understand and appreciate that I am only asking the above on behalf of a friend who is interested in such things..

It's the Mail. They have no obligation to be impartial, fair or balanced.

They are just a click bait aggregator. So they pander to who gives them most clicks and that unfortunately is Utd and Liverpool fans.

Correct.
