The Title Race - 2023/24

[Chak19]

Personally what i have seen of Kelleher he is a better keeper than Allison certainly makes less mistakes , so your comment is valid.

Kelleher hasn't faced any tough opposition so far though, we'll see how good he is next week.

 

[lasereyes]

I’ll put money on it being Oliver…hope I’m wrong.

Oliver is terrible but tbh Atwell, England, Coote would all be worse. Madley too but presumably we cant get him as he is there tomorrow. The only halfway decent one I've seen is Jarred Gillett. Which means we will never get him in a big game

 

[lasereyes]

last four league results at Klanfield , 0-1 defeat (Cancelo brain fart, Foden disallowed goal for imaginary foul) , 4-1 win , 2-2 draw and 0-0 draw (Mahrez penalty miss), doesnt really back-up your theory.
Apologies there was a 1-3 defeat amongst those results so , W1 D 2 L 2

That's the Arnold volleyball game. And added the Foden debacle last year. basically they cant beat us unless they get a massive helping hand. Which unfortunately could well happen next week

 

[Segga]

Right I’ve calmed down and said sorry to the mrs for launching the remote at the wall when they scored!
I couldn’t believe the ref blew for a head injury when their own keeper just shoulder barged him, then gave him the fucking ball.
Anyway I didn’t realise they were away in Europe next Thursday with the injuries they have there isn’t much room for rotation, and they are fucking shite time to beat them next week.

 

[MadchesterCity]

this is why this forum becomes more unbearable. take off the tin foil hats everyone ffs. we get loads and loads of soft decisions as well especially at home.

Bullshit

 

[MadchesterCity]

Probably justified that added time buts it’s the consistency that’s worrying for us against Chelsea H they must have wasted time the entire second half yet ref only added on 4 minutes same at Newcastle away

Because the officials were happy with the result!?

Jesus wept.

Imagine actually thinking that this conspiracy theory was genuine.

How do you even get through a day, whilst believing ridiculous things like that.

It's confirmation bias in its finest form, recalling information about a team that happen to be slightly ahead of us in the league. Teams that have the ball more and create the most chances, are more likely to be involved in contentious decisions.

It's just a coping mechanism for some.

After make sure we give him something to do rather than our usual shot shy visits to Klanfield.

Referee forgot the rules that would probably have seen forest hold on.
I think most can cope when a result is achieved through fairness. Today wasn’t an example of that.
No wonder the Forest management were fuming.
Still, that knobhead who tried dribbling it out in the last minute of injury time should be getting a proper bollocking.

Agreed on the Forest player, think it was Hudson-Odoi.

But on that refereeing decision, are we genuinely saying it was an attempt to help Liverpool, or a poor/incompetent refereeing decision?

Sorry I can't get on board with this whole 'referees have a mantra to help Liverpool win the league'.

If we don't win the league it's because we didn't get enough points, nothing to do with referees making incompetent decisions.

 

[Dodge]

That has fuck all to do with the bullshit...I have more faith in City than one could possibly imagine. That doesn't mean I won't call out inequities when I see them. Two entirely mutually exclusive issues...

Can't remember engaging with you on this subject, but whilst you're here, what bullshit are you referring to?

The referee forgot the rules. I don’t care if it was by accident or otherwise. These are meant to be the best we’ve got and decisions like that are unacceptable.

 

[waspish]

It also had to do with Alisson having the worst game of his life and gifting us two goals.

More to do with our pressing

 

[chris85mcfc]

I agree, but that's not the same as someone saying it was specifically to help Liverpool.

Some on here genuinely believe that, and it's scary.

What rule did he forget

You can think that (I dont) but if someone thinking were hard done by makes the forum unbearable for you I doubt you'll get much joy out of any football forum.

Too many look for reasons to be upset by fellow blues imo. If you don't like what someone has to say, you shouldn't let it affect your enjoyment of the forum.

 

[wolviedinho]

Next game only.

That’s all city can do. Go into tomorrow’s game and try win, go to anfield and try to win.

We are out of nothing yet and we have won nothing yet.

I back our club to keep pushing and pushing and pushing the challengers to see who cracks first.

So forget the last min win and jammy goals. We can only control the next 90 min.

I believe we can do it again.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

But we were 4 up in a cup game? Why would we want extra minutes to get potential injuries?

We don’t. But I’m saying it proves that the amount of stoppage time is not determined by the amount of stoppages. It’s decided upon by other means. The scoreline, the teams involved, the likelihood of the result changing etc.

But Edwards and Guardiola agreed to the early finish due to the scoreline. Whatever might be going on in the league situation, the cup is completely different
