[I'm With Stupid]

Loved Grealish's little 'wind up the opposition' cameo. It was like Atletico Madrid all over again.

If that little **** hadnt cheated and gone down like he’d been hit with an 84, it would have been dismissed as handbags and not a lot else…
I detest players who do this throwing themselves to the floor shit…. !
It’s cheating in plain in sight

If a player plays for Manchester City he should, in my humble opinion, get 100% support from City fans.
He/she plays for us we support them. Old fashioned opinion I guess.

Not old fashioned just correct

What happened to the new rule that only the captain/1 player could approach the ref? I swear the whole Forest team approached that dickhead (whoops! Apologies) in the black yesterday on more than one occasion? Mind you, we were guilty of that for the sending off too!!

easy enough win against a pub team followed by clueless small time no nothings who will fuck off as quickly as they appeared once they go down, seriously, where were you when you were shit, I would ask them, where were you, fucking ever, when they were winning European cups they only ever fetched a few hundred to Maine Road, in the lower leagues 15000 was the norm, deluded as fuck

Our average gate in the third tier was just over 28,200.
When they were promoted last season, they averaged just over 29,100 so around 900 more for watching some of the best players in the world rather than Wycombe, York etc.
Prior to that the last time they averaged more than the 28,200 we did in the third tier was 1980/81 season at a time they were back to back European Champions and boasted top international players like Francis and Shilton.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Rodri was stupid and was probably trying too hard to redeem himself for losing the ball in the first place.

However there were a couple of Forest fouls in the First Half (particularly the one on Doku that resulted in Alvarez's 2nd Free Kick) that Taylor didn't deem worthy of a Yellow Card, presumably because he'd already cautioned 2-3 and was starting to lose control.

I've seen this before with other referees. Dish out a few yellow cards and then ignore something that's far more blatant.

Against sweaties?
Not a good barometer…..

as the saying goes - you can only play what's in front of you .... he hasn't let anyone down. He needs a proper chance. You don't go from being a starter for the england team and a respected defender to being a flop

Hope there's some Karma - he deserves the hate of the football family

Gvardiol went down clutching his head at one stage. There was no contact anywhere near his head.
Cancelo use to do something similar.
Don't like this form of cheating by any player, ours or the opposition.
Cannot understand why diving and pretending to be injured are still not taken seriously by the officials and administrators.
