I agree. Some refs are bent, some are just shite, and some are half decent.
But what they all have in common is a guaranteed lack of media scrutiny for any contentious favourable decision given to a team playing against City, or against City favouring their apponent.
The media run that narrative, and a lack of outrage by the media, and by extension the public, means the media favourites get the rub.
There is absolutely no way ever, ever, we get that offside goal the rags got at their place. There are only 2 teams who can get that decision.
That is where the corruption lies, in the court of public (media) opinion

So event outcomes are subject to certain teams i.e. Arsenal are allowed to continue playing until they score the winner, got it. So which other teams are allowed to get away with the Rodri handball? Are Brentford only awarded offside goals against Arsenal?

I think you miss the point I made by not reading the words I wrote.

Imagine the press reaction if our season was over by mid March, the press would take us apart. Wonder what they will have to say about the dippers.

You’ll find out in around 2 weeks time when the International break is over and they go on their crusade to get the Dippers in the top 4. Starting with a full blown anti City agenda of lies and disingenuous deceit, players unhappy, leaving, Pep’s a racist, empty stadium, can’t sell tickets, Kyle Walker stays home at nights watching Emmerdale, crisis after crisis, you know the score.

No I read them, The rags get favourable decisions because of media bias everyone else gets them for some other reason. Yea makes a lot of sense!
You know their were Liverpool fans claiming that no way is Rodri's handball not given against them and Arsenal fans claiming Brentfords goal would have been disallowed if scored against us right? Oh and all of the small teams claim that the top 6 are given decisions that favour us when we play them. Visit any teams forum and you will find the same bias s*it that's spouted on here, but of course your right and they are all just insanely paranoid!

Another decent Guardian article that covers Pep's tactics vs Leipzig. Not one dig in this one just all good and pretty informative if you struggle to understand Peps every word at his presser.

Pep Guardiola has all the answers for critics but none for Julia Roberts snub | David Hytner

Manchester City manager got tactics spot on against Leipzig and made clear the sceptics should trust him as he laid out the intricacies

Whilst what you say is correct there are hard statistics that support the contention that we are refereed differently, most notably the number of fouls/yellow cards we pick up relative to our possession.

Rodri, we hear it time & again & the reason it was the 1 & only fucking decision which possibly helped us.

I wouldn’t have known which example in any game of the 2 red shite to choose.

Not that we need a reminder how thick some of there expert twats are.

Wio last night before the Dippers game, "They need to go out on their sword" TWICE btw.

Is that the same as going out on your shield, then?

Scousers have certainly impaled themselves this season.

I think Wio needs to fall on his sword and resign, or go back to school.

No, I am saying there are bad, bent and half-decent refs. But what all of them have in common is a lack of media or public pressure (which is just media pressure by proxy, btw) when they shaft City, or help our opponents.
The only 2 clubs that don't get media and public pressure are the 2 usual suspects.
Other teams also get shafted, but because they are not realistically winning the league, it has no real consequence in the grand scheme of things (which is wrong in itself).
You went off-piste with your response like I was ignoring the fortunate decisions going for City, I wasn't.
Every team gets fortunate decisions.

He used to fall on it regularly behind his wife's back in his earlier days!
 
Taken from twitter.

A real, special gem from Jonathan Liew.

The first game between Madrid and Liverpool was one of fine margins, apparently.

It was 5 goals Jon!
