I haven’t ‘ran to stats’ they just back me up. Just one of those facts.


We do commit fouls, we get punished for them. Making the narrative that we are ‘getting away with’ anything redundant.

With regards to the ref playing on, not sure if you’re being serious or not. Maybe just a total lack of understanding. If Fernandinho was committing these tactical fouls to halt play, yet play was waved on, well that would just be totally redundant wouldn’t it? This is simply not happening. Stats or no stats.

I watch him just the same as you, every week. I think he’s the best I’ve ever seen at nipping in and winning the ball cleanly. I don’t think he commits anywhere near the fouls you’ve frankly dreamt up.
It just so happens hardon or not, the stats suggest I’m correct in my first hand observations.

It’s a bizarre narrative cooked up by Mourinho. Neville has either jumped on the bandwagon or in yet another blindingly obvious attempt to appear one step ahead in his punditry, something he’s fairly shit at.

The seed has been planted. It doesn’t matter if it’s utter bollocks, it’s now been heavily discussed and at the forefront of any discussion regards City.

You are confusing my points with those of Neville and whoever in the media. I am not agreeing with them my point was why other fans (from talking to them) get annoyed when some players commit fouls without punishment. I will say once more we don't get away with anything because there isn't anything dirty or underhand to get away with. Care to answer why you use and accept stats that back you up? So you agree that we must be a dirty team because we give a lot of fouls away despite having most of the ball because the stats say so? Something tells me you wont agree with that. Now you are saying he has never committed a foul and the refs waved play on. Crazy. Fernandinho would be a shit centre mid if he didn't commit the tackles and fouls he does. It is part of his game, to claim he doesn't do that is madness but if your head is too deep in numbers and stats you probably wouldn't notice it. You say the seed has been planted and is utter bollocks, someone else would argue the stats prove that isn't bollocks and we do in fact commit fouls and stop attacks. STATS I tell you!

Stats so far this season would suggest Glenn Murray and Morata are evenly matched.
 
All this shit aimed at us, mostly by keyboard warriors who I will wager have never set foot in old toilet, let alone any other football ground, just smacks of the school bully getting battered then complaining that things ain’t what they used to be, it’s actually fuckin hilarious :-))

The journos are just happy they get a nice meal at City.

Still waiting for this story to properly blow up though. You'd think this was a powder keg, yet no one seems really interested...

City have an excellent relationship with lots of journalists who either don't cover this stuff (either when it unfolded or now); or have been briefed that there's nothing to see here and City are victims in all this.

This rag is taking bitterness to new level. Oh the poor thing, desperate isn't the word.

Dear God, one stat would say Morata & Murray evenly matched.
It’s another daft thing to say.

We foul the least in the whole league. I witness this with my own eyes & the stats back me up. Again.
Chelsea, another team with a similar style and mentality are around even with us.
We foul no more frequently than other sides who have similar possession stats. Namely Chelsea & Liverpool.

Fernandinho doesn’t commit that many fouls. It’s simply another myth.
1.45 per game over the last 4 seasons.
Including 11 games this season.

On average 6 yellows per season over the last 3 full seasons.
This is a statistical fact.


As for the play on fouls against Fernandinho, you’re so desperate to be right, you can’t see how daft that point is.

Just rewatching the game now on the NBC coverage, Dixon has just mentioned our tactical fouling, so Mourinho, Neville & Hughes, MOTD, Talksport are all now running with the dark arts & tactical fouling, it’s frankly bollocks & statistics proven as such.

You’re obviously just a little gullible and have fallen for such a narrative.

It’s a blindingly obvious attempt to influence, first by Mourinho & now by United’s offial tv mouth piece on live tv.
Hopefully the officials aren’t as gullible as you, Dixon & Hughes et al.
