Yep, the primadonna's gone now thankfully :)
I do think we get a lot of horrendous decisions against us. Officials have always favoured media luvvies Liverpool and the London clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs, over us.

Are you sure your names not Benny

Possibly, but then ibrahimovic spent half a season smashing into people late, Fellaini too, the Rojo two footed tackles.... Last season, there was quite some swing in your favour, i'd say.

We have refs denying that they saw things right in front of them (Marriner vs WHU for Aguero's elbow; Taylor vs Chelsea, just about everything that happened), Oliver missing Sterling being wiped out on the line as Aguero was flattened vs Liverpool, and Marriner missing Sterling being shoved in the back by Walker, being one of only 4 people who didn't see it in the stadium. that's just off the top of my head for gamechanging decisions.

There is of course perception of being worse off, but all of those were blatantly wrong.

Difficult not to admire Paddy Power's attitude to football. Very rarely miss the mark with their jibes.

Agreed.

I think the account runner is a dipper. Yet they are fair at dishing it out to all.

I think that's the point - they rarely go after someone not big enough and ugly enough to be able to take it.

You're serious, aren't you? You truly believe your club does not get assisted by the officials in every game?
We are all biased towards our own clubs, fair enough. We tend to see what we want to see, and we all imagine our clubs are disliked by referees/linesmen etc. But for a rag to come on a City forum and claim you get 'horrendous decisions' going against you...sorry ol' mate, that just fucking beggars belief.

James gone to Bayern. Ah well, didn't want him anyway...
