Throw that dreadful kit in the bin!

Didn't the rags play in a grey kit at one point, and were losing a match in the 90s if I remember, and the players were complaining that they couldn't see each other, so they binned the kit between halves and their performance improved and they won the match.
Could be a bit of psychology to deflect, but remember reading that somewhere.

Why do the league say at the start of the season that they are clamping down on certain things. This at the start of the season it was clamping down on holding at corners. That seems to have been scrapped now. So why bother in the first place

Because United and Liverpool had the advantage of the officials handing them the points with soft pens or cancelling goals, then the uproar in the media and managers calling them out. Some really soft goals and pens were given and clear handballs and fouls were waved away. The same referee, one week was given a pen to Liverpool or United then the same referee a week later turned it down at City

Exactly, that's what I was looking at, scraped over the line v Wolves with an own goal, practically the last kick of the game against a team that only has 2 points all season?

They've not been that convincing in that many matches. They had a fair GD lead at one point, that's gone with less than half the season done. A lot of their fans are saying the 18 April meeting at the Etihad will be the decider but I think we'll be clear by then.

Not sure what the point is? Did Forest have 16 chances? More like they're counting every time one of those players touched the ball they're classing it as a "clearance". According to the stats on the City app they had 2 shots on target.

Cann said: "I didn't think it was a second yellow for Ruben Dias - it was just an accidental crossover. He wasn't trying to make a challenge and there was minimal contact.

"Because he's on a yellow card it doesn't mean the next foul is automatically a yellow."

Former official Darren Cann told BBC Match of the Day: "The video assistant referee naturally checked the goal and concluded that no 'clear and obvious' error was made. I agree.

"This was a decision that will split views - some will agree it's a good goal and others will think it was a foul. Therefore the 'referee's call' of goal should stand."
 
Forest happy to be elbows and scrappy ala Dyche-ball, but...

Not quite.
They were 3 down at half time v Southampton and changed from grey to dark blue.
Final score Saints 3 rags 1

Their manager has a bit to do it.

Horrible moaning **** that encourages his teams to "get stuck in" regardless of the consequences, "dive" at every opportunity and moan about every decision given against you whether it's a good one or not.

Yes they are horrible aren't they.

The bbc is a joke, without bringing politics into this thread all trust in that organization has been lost after the trump edit.

I would have thought their most egregious breach of public trust would be the fact they actively harboured and knowingly employed a parade of paedophiles over the course of several decades, who were free to abuse at will under the protection of the royal charter - for that alone, the entire concept of the licence fee is both an affront to and a mockery of their victims.

They lost all credibility and legitimacy long before any (comparatively) trifling trump edit, in my book.
