Always been impressed with him each time he has played at the Etihad

I have to say, I thought Grealish was pretty outstanding. Clearly a few attitude issues there but what are people's thoughts?

I like him, he's a great player. Problem is that he seems to play in the same position as Phil and he is nowhere near as good.

Was Rodri in Phase 1 or 2 when he slipped in Wee Burnie?

Loving John Stones at the moment.

That's what they told me when I was 4... that's how I coached my son's teams when he was 4 on. Rodri could have been offsides 40 meters... Mings had the ball and mishandled the touch... Rodri picked it off of him.
If the play hadn't resulted in a goal Villa fans wouldn't make a peep.

The only controversial thing about the first goal is how many people paid handsomely to talk knowledgeably about football in the media know absolutely fuck all about the laws of the game.

Of course they do. Different shades and different subjects but largely the same paranoia. I know quite a few Leeds fans. They are utterly convinced, like they take it as a given and can’t understand anyone doubting it, that both the FA and the media hate them. Mid ranking premier league teams go crazy that the “big four” or whatever get all the coverage. Championship teams are convinced that they get ignored because of the premier league etc.

Real or imagined communal enemies are part of what makes a football fan tick.

All clubs, apart from United and Liverpool (the commercially valuable ones), are not given much coverage in the media. Actually I think Leeds have been badly treated over the years and until we were bought out by foreign owners Chelsea were the whipping boys. It's the same in Spain with bias towards Barca and especially Real Madrid. It doesn't make it right though.
