The Title Race - 2023/24

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

What rule did he forget

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.

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.

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.

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
