Some more information. The Athletic published an article a few days ago about time-wasting, with a specific focus on time-wasting by goalkeepers. The table below shows goalkeeper bookings for time-wasting since 2013/14;

Foster (Ben) 8
Martinez 8
Pickford 8
Guaita 7
Pope 7
Ederson 7
McCarthy 6
Boruc 5
Adrian 5
Henderson 5

All the goalkeepers above, with the exception of Ederson were playing for teams involved in relegation battles.

A further observation from the article was that two forwards have been booked 4 times for time-wasting in the same period…Raul Jimenez and our own Sergio Aguero.


It is difficult not to conclude that there is a distinctly lower bar when it comes to booking City players for this offence!

I bet the Athletic avoided drawing that simple conclusion

"SOLID BRITISH VALUES"

From a port where more than 2000 slaves ships transported around 500,000 Africans into slavery in the Americas. Yea, right.

Where's the Llama?

Where's the Llama?

The llama wouldn't get booked for timewasting for 2 reasons:

1. He plays for United.
2. The officials will give the appropriate amount of injury time to allow them to get the desired result so timewasting becomes less relevant
