There is one other problem. Their obnoxious, violent fans who, in numbers attack lone or outnumbered Blues. I remember the semi final and the cowardly attacks.

Yeah but the scummy shithouse cunts got Mullered in the charity shield..

OK Willan got a hit on his hand, current rules (wrong) means a penalty, so fair do’s, (apart from they changed the rules that handball had to be deliberate). Then the rule used to be that a deliberate handball preventing a goal would result in a red card. This was no way deliberate..

It's 100% deliberate. He deliberately stoops and moves his arm towards the ball.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Mitrovic.

Ex-referees in the press are already calling for a 10 match ban, but if I were Fulham I'd have lawyers send the FA a letter saying we're going to fight it to the death, in courts if need be, because they set a precedent by not punishing Bruno Fernandes.

The ref didn’t see it, so it goes to VAR, and the handball is obvious, so is the lack of a chance for Willan to avoid the handball, so unless defenders wrap their hands behind their back with gaffa tape, how can they avoid being sent off? Also, if VAR is only available in Premier League grounds, how can this be seen as a valid competition? If this happened against a Championship side away, there would be no VAR. Football is corrupt, and I don’t mean that City have done anything better or worse than anyone else. The rules seem to favour the elite These days.
For me, I love watching my grandson play his under 12 football, it reminds me of how football used to be, crap decisions by the officials, but everyone moves on and enjoys it for what it is.

The handball was deliberate, surely?. willians lack of chance to handball was to not stick his hand at it. He was sent off because of that.

Take out the contentious decision and you see they caused us problems. In the first half they had chances on the break away and in the second....

Give over otherwise posters might start sniffing.

Only 1 way to solve it

Mitrovic in the Ring with Penandez, he would fuckin kill the snide shithouse :-)

Brighton are a good team but they will buckle under the pressure at Wembley

No they fucking won't. Different animal this season under De Zerbi. Buckle under dodgy refereeing decision...... maybe. But not under pressure. Hopefully they have a right old go.

I have never seem one team get so much good fortune in one season.

It's unbelievable

Hmmm,i wouldn’t trust whoever is the ref for the Brighton semi final or the games leading up to that wouldn’t be surprised to see Brighton have a few players suspended ..
