If we win four, Savage would say it needs to be five. He can think what he likes - no team has been better that this City side. It’s changed football for the better and it’s killing them :)

Savage used to be full of praise for us, until Mancini left
It was obvious that he thought Roberto was a personal friend of his

Another little vignette from Talkshite this evening. Talkshite's "transfer guru", Alex Crook, who, believe it or not, happens to be a united fan, and has his own show called "The Boot Room".

Discussing the penalty with former head of referees Keith Hackett, "well Keith, by the letter of the law it was a penalty", "not for me it wasn't" was the unexpected reply. Subject quickly changed to Mourinho's antics.

The ball was being headed away from goal, just six inches away from Grealish' arm whose hand was in natural position for someone jumping, Grealish was not looking at the ball and didn't gain any advantage. No one appealed and it took three minutes for VAR to call it back so it could not have been an obvious error.
Hackett had no doubts. It was not a penalty in a million years even under the so called new rules which keep being twisted in the media to suit every occasion. The only time we have even seen these sort of handballs given under the "new rules" have been when the ball was on target heading into the net. This incident happened on the edge of the penalty area and the ball was moving away from the goal.
The narrative changes all the time with United. For the same reason you will never see an offside not being given like the one in the derby at Old Trafford where Rashford ran 30 yards shielding the ball but was apparently "not interfering with play."
