The Boys in Blue never give in they fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially the barcodes who put the silly faces on but have no clue. Especially the stupid, biased, pathetic little lamentable excuses in the media. Especially the Specsavers needing bunch of wallies who pose as officials and think they’ll grind us down. Think again you fools, think again!! You are up against MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. We will wipe you out.



Get well soon John Boy. We need you back asap.
 
Very tough game this, I’d snap your hand off for a draw. They’ve got a very good home record

7 points out of 9 after coming back from the World Cup would do me nicely
 
Plain Speaking said:
I was looking at some referee stats for various PL referee's, over all their matches in charge of leading PL clubs, over all seasons, with significant differences between officials.

At City Pep has an average win % of 72%, at Liverpool Klopp has 61%, at Utd Ten Hag and Ole Gunnar Solskjær together approximately 55%.

However for Chris Kavanagh, (the Newcastle ref this weekend), we have a win percentage of only 56%, (9 matches), Liverpool have a remarkable 81%, (16 matches), Chelsea also have a very high 75%, (12 matches), Spurs have 69%, (13 matches), Utd, 54% (12 matches) and Arsenal, 50%, (18 matches).
Considering our considerable success over many seasons this win % seems remarkably low!

With Michael Oliver, (a referee that I thought doesn't particularly seem to like us?), We have figures more like you would expect: City 77%, (44 matches), Liverpool 47%, (53 matches), Chelsea 48%, (42 matches), Utd 41%, (41 matches), Spurs 56%, (41 matches) and Arsenal 56%, (43 matches).

With Anthony Taylor, a referee City fans pretty universally regard as hating us and favouring Utd, City have a similar, very low, win % stats to Kavanagh 55%, (33 matches), whereas not surprisingly Utd have the highest win % of the top clubs 58%, (40 matches), Liverpool 56%, (33 matches), Chelsea, 46%, (37 matches), Spurs 56%, (41 matches) and Arsenal 56%, (43 matches).

I had known about Anthony Taylor's obvious bias, Pep clearly knows it, and Taylor finds it hard not to smile when he gives decisions against us, like sending off Rodri!

However Kavanagh's stats, (Liverpool up 20% and City down 16%), seem concerning and as distorted as Taylor's!

It does concern me.

The ref and it being on TNT who seem to relish having controversial decisions given against us.
 
Just watched Yaya's two goals (for the umpteenth time) against these in 2012. Something I never quite noticed before. Watch the way Sergio tees him up for the first.
He completely defers to him. Now Sergio was on fire that season, and he was a man who lived to score goals. But he defers. He simply knows that if you feed Touré, in the big matches, he'll do the business. That was the authority that Yaya had in the team, for quite a long time.
