Villa (H) Post Match Thread

[PaleBlue]

BBC: desperate Salford rag rats, their desperation is palpable:

1. Man City 2-0 Aston Villa - City go top, but United can replace them
2. Controversial opener as Rodri returns from offside position to dispossess Mings and pass to Silva, Gundogan penalty for second

Did you miss the part where I clearly said my issue is with the law and not the decision?

I don’t think that players should be allowed to benefit from being in an offside position. Rodri closes 20 yards on Mings before he plays the ball. That puts him in the very position to be able to make the tackle.

Like I said, I was pissed off when decisions like that have gone against us because I disagree with the law.

So where’s he supposed to run to get onside?

That was a cracking game and real edge of your seat stuff. Gundo the technician outstanding,always been a class act as far as I’m concerned. Young Phil was awesome and top of the league.

believe jake is a Norwich fan.

I think his second team is United.

Higginbotham’s comments were disgraceful. Hopefully, he will get that feedback.

They were. The rantings of a running scared rag. Really showed his colours

Walton backs VAR every single week, until surprise surprise, we get the decision.

Watching him having to admit he didn’t know the rules was beautiful.

The **** didn't know the rules when he reffed.

I love the coverage NBC have in the US. Every week it is Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle - it is a rag and a Scouse free zone. Occasionally they have Tim Howard but to be fair to him he never cones accross as an ex rag.
However the past few weeks they have introduced Danny Fucking Higgenbotham and he is a twat.
Robbie Earle was spot on with his interpretation of why it was a goal. Then Higgenbotham was spitting fire and venom out over the decision.... At one point saying even if it was correct it doesn't "feel right".

DHIAC

Robbie Earle has praised City for years now. I like his comments at half time and after match but usually follow the commentary best I can in Spanish on telemundo. What I got from today was that it was a goal because of phases of play. And I also learned the Spanish for "it's pissing down in Manchester."

If the scores stay like this MOTD tonight could be a classic

A fighting performance that reminded me of out recent title wining seasons , we were relentless and we battered Villa for 90 minutes ,the moftm was a nightmare to decide every player made a contribution , we have had better results but tonights performance was the best of the season.
The Villa goal lived a charmed life if we had won 7-0 or 8-0 it would have been no surprise , just wait till we get a striker fully fit and on form , its going to be fun leaving the 'istree clubs in the distance

Have you always had the issue with this law or just Now?
