Great win yesterday and I must admit, out of United and Inter I was more worried about United. I knew they'd be well up for it and we'd have them pulling every dark art going and we'd also have the ref to contend with.
First of all, VAR needs fucking off ASAP. It's absolutely diabolical. The Casemiro 'tackle' was - and I'm being lenient - a yellow.
Second, the handball was an absolutely disgraceful decision. How anyone can say that's a penalty is beyond me. I don't honestly care what the rules are, there's no way that's a pen. To be honest, if that had been given against me I'd spend the rest of the game aiming crosses at hands.
I'm not entirely sure how the KdB 'penalty' wasn't given - I find it astonishing it wasn't even something for the ref to review. I know EXACTLY what the decision would've been in our box and I know what decision would've been given if Fred had done that in midfield. He should've been booked for the 2 fouls he did within a few minutes of each other too.
This is what worries me about the Inter game - VAR. I'm fully expecting them to be a pack of filthy, cheating twats - that's a given, but I don't think our players will be protected and will face the full force of VAR for anything we do.
Ten Haag has improved them massively and I think there definitely getting better, but let's be honest if we wanted to we'd have kicked on and pasted them. We did barely enough to win and save ourselves for Inter but sometimes I wish we'd give them a pasting as they need it in a final.
Great to see Fergie watching us! He loves watching us and every time we play them, he's always there! He had a great seat to see us lift ANOTHER trophy! Let's hope he's there in Istanbul to see us win the CL! When he did it, they didn't do the treble as English Champions - WE WILL! :)
COME ON CITY!
