Not bought into the recently peddled Fernandinho fouling media myth.
Posts over several pages about that very subject.

   Just saw a stat that said City have scored 5 goals in a domestic game 28 times since we last did it.
   That cannot be true.

Yes its true. It might be 29 by sunday night.

I take it the notion that Pep is a fraud is no longer in the ascendancy amongst their internet warriors....

Evra and Herrera are usually spouting that the rags are bigger blah blah blah around about now.

Wait till after they play juventus weds night,expect the bullshit to start thurs morning onwards ...

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.

Tom is so fucking contrary that I have given up replying to him.

If you attack what he says, he complains that you are abusing him.

I have never seen nor heard another Blue slag off City players and defend rags anywhere near as vociferously as he does. In fact I’ve never heard a Blue defend rags at all.

He’s just not worth the time, effort and bandwidth, IMHO.

I want to score 9 ! with one disallowed ... then we can still sing ‘it should have been 10’

Right now, the whole City situation is making a mockery of the game in this country.
When United we’re constantly winning under SAF (funded only by our own resources), we were never able to dominate and steamroller teams as often as City do.
There isn’t a fair competition right now. For all those that say it needed to happen, to balance the Premier League, they are having a laugh.
It’s like having a Ton weight balanced against a feather.
The sooner that oil money is thrown out of the game, the better.


love love love the hurt.

The thing that makes me feel so cosy at the moment is - if the shoe was on the other foot there isn't a single one of them that would turn it down. Makes me feel so warm inside.

Does Tom_mufc ever have a day off from slagging Blues and bigging up raggies ?

I'm not really sure why people bother replying to him. Obviously gets a kick out of it.
