Good man for pointing it out, no need for things like that.Trust me, there was. And even if they were jocular in intent, they weren't acceptable on here.
I can agree with one thing , we are to nice and our PR has failed , we are not liked and we dont get the same voice as Bacon got and that does have influence. But we have do agree to disagree about the reffs . OK I am not saying there is conspiracy. But there are to many examples of refs killing us.As ive stated 2 times now. Yes, i think they get pretty much the same as us. Im sure a lot of blues do think that way, but i just dont. Ive watched lots of football at lot's of levels.. The standard of ref is the key. But the facts dont back up the arguments, and i always, without fail.. on any match day where we do not do well, someone call's the ref garbage, or a cheat.. or united and Liverpool get that..
here are the stats on that: City have had 20 bookings to their 21 united have had 1 red card and us non. 0f city Have conceded 139 fouls where as united have been pulled up nearly 50 times more in the same period at 182... added more to the myth on here that lot's of fans agree with. They say city are wasteful and united take there chances, Well the stats again disagree.
I just dont buy that the league is bent, i think some refs have favorite players, and united Liverpool etc.. are good at making them feel loved. We however as a club are to nice and seen as a bunch of pussies in the football world. That is why we take so much flack. All this be the classy club... Not a single top club in Europe is a classy outfit and thats why they shaft us out of something, be that a player, a competition etc.. Its not down to a ref, or any bias. its as simple as this. If a ref has a shit game, or gave a terrible decision against Bacon face. They would know they was getting it after the game. In the media, he would complain to the FA about the ref and he would be in the papers the day before explaining how refs give united nothing, im sure you can remember that. Its a dark art in football, much like Ramos and Pepe would do on the football pitch. Horrible to face and horrible to deal with. Its all part of the game.. After we get dragged through the mud and shat on.. its all we go again, and smiles, lets be the nice guy... i know some are all for this, but its the real world!! their will always be sly players and managers who will bend the rules. It comes down to us being plain naive imo, Thats not to say the league is bent in anyway.. and that is what anyone who says united get better decisions is saying. I hugely disagree., its to simple an answer for a very complex argument.
As for the KDB point We play a fairly fluid system that is rarely 4231 in any case. on regular occasions we play 3 at the back. so no, he would no more play in one position through the season than KDB, Would. Even this season, and its been going on much longer, we have had player out of position for plenty of games. Its a squad game, and he is better than what we have in a lot of places. I wouldnt say Dzeko or Giroud are better than Aguero ? but would i have them in my squad, dam right. Because on player isnt going to [play every game in a 60 game season
still laughing at his own jokesTyler at Arsenal.
Small mercies and all that.
