Paul Wilson (Guardian) on that penalty decision

Ric said:
He's even worse than the likes of Ogden and Jackson in my opinion. Always talks about us in a derogatory manner, but his take on the Sterling penalty is bad even by his low standards:

"Raheem Sterling jumped in the air to block it, and ended up doing so with the back of his arm as he turned away from the ball. You see them given and you see them not given, but though the home crowd felt it was harsh Mark Clattenburg’s decision to award a penalty could be defended.

The ball had not merely struck an unknowing Sterling. He had moved to cut out the cross and should have been more careful. It is hard to argue ball to hand when a player has launched himself at the ball, and as Sterling was the beneficiary of the last appalling decision on this ground it might even be said that what goes around comes around."

Prick.

The fact that he's literally the only person that has said it's a penalty says it all really.

when a spurs player was down he had the ball in his own half then stuck a hand out to say am kicking the ball out only to fake the kick out and started to run down the line then kick it out about 20 yards in our half the city players went mad and zabba had to be held back by Kompany and city never give them the ball back and rightly so

Er, nonsense. It's the second most-read UK newspaper website after MailOnline. Daily traffic of 7m. So plenty will read Wilson's bollocks.

A lot of the Guardian online subscribers are all round the world with US providing many, just for the left wing content. The Sun man on the same programme said he was happy with the number of their online subscribers - just 200K. But people of cpo0uurse can look without subscribing

Thought Zaba was going to flatten him next time he got near him.

and that's what spurs wanted if zabba did him the red card would have been out in a flash the city players knew after the break the ref was in it for them and Kompany the captain of Manchester city gets a yellow for nothing really that's when you just know you don't have any power over the other team and the ref

so many little things in the spurs game that are there is see and you know something happing even a small thing like a throw in and every spurs player asking for it when its so not a spurs throw we are fighting a losing battle this season and with pellegrini gone in the summer and pep coming in the media are reporting the players downing tools but I think its the reality of what can we do when things are taken out of our hands
 
I still cant forget Quinn as they are about to kick off sucking Clattenburgs dick, stating him as one of the finest refs anywhere and instead of getting on his back, its about time we appreciated just how good he is.........

He then makes one of the biggest howlers you are ever likely to see.

When was the last time you heard a commentator go out of his way like that before a ball is kicked?

Roughly translates as we all hate City so fuck em!

I appreciate the line the club has took re the press post takeover and wanting to get them on board but it simply hasnt worked and i see nothing to suggest its ever going to either.

We need to fuck these cunts off from games and press conferences

Yes we do but we probably won't. But perhaps our softly softly approach might change following this incident and the potentially serious economic consequences which may flow out of it.

That article is the exact reason why refs like Clattenburg give that type of decision against us. Its defended, brushed under the carpet and excused because its us.

Had it been the rags or Liverpool etc, he would have written a piece about the injustice of it all and how Clattenburg should be sanctioned.

Clattenburg and every other ref knows it too and thats why it would never in a million years been a penalty at the rags or liverpool etc.

The whole game stinks as does the narrative currently surrounding it.

As a club we're too soft on these things. We should be hammering home the point about shit decisions and players not being protected. Instead it seems like we leave it to one or two journalists to meekly say it.

Well they better learn to monetize it pretty quickly then, they will be out of business if it gets any worse!!

Won't have any journos left at this rate.

Even MailOnline doesn't make money. The only ones that do are behind paywalls. And if the Guardian is bad the Mail is ten times worse.

No idea what point you're making but just one thing - of COURSE The Sun man will say he's happy.
 
Threads like this would make cunts like that journalist smile and it is exactly why they publish that sort of tripe.

They really are better off ignored.
