Villa (H) Post Match Thread

[FogBlueInSanFran]

TBH I had absolutely no idea what the hell the fuss was about as I was watching sound off and multi-tasking on a work call until I saw the replay later. Mings — who was heroic otherwise — had no idea he had man on and that’s on him or his teammates. Once he took possession what’s Rodri supposed to do — fucking stand still? By the interpretation of the rules on offer from those bitter about it I guess he’s offside for the rest of the fucking match then? Idiots.

Pep says he hopes Walker’s problem is just a kick but that KDB looks like a muscular problem.

Just in: Kevin De Bruyne / Kyle Walker injury updates: - Pep Guardiola has said he hasn't spoken to the doctor, but with Kyle Walker's injury, hopes it's "just a kick". - On Kevin De Bruyne: "Might be something muscular

I bloody love it on nights like tonight. A load of City hating bias, a bit of controversy and a City win, then a load of City hating crying, squirming, moaning, fury... sweet as fuck!

Totally agree...it doesnt bother me anymore. It just shows we are pissing them royally off, and they are utter bitter cunts

Makes me just laugh and take the piss out of them

Outrageous lack of social distancing.

Wonder how long before a City player gets a yellow card for not social distancing after we score a goal. It could be filed with that other gem - aggressive walking!

The offside rule is absolute wank and Rodri should have been offside. IMO, the moment an offside player goes towards the ball he is interfering with play. I remember Dinho giving a penalty away in the CL for pulling back a player who was offside. Yet because the player didn’t touch the ball, the foul counted.

That said, the issue here is the offside law and not the decision.

It’s funny though how the pundits only seem to have a huge issue when these decisions go in our favour. I don’t recall McManaman disputing the penalty that Liverpool got in the CL final because the ball wasn’t on target.

He was onside by the time he took the ball off the Villa player. Not sure what the fuss was about.

The worst of it was Walton came back and spent about 90 seconds explaining in detail why he was initially wrong & why under the rules it was a perfectly good goal. Camel Gob then said that in his opinion it shouldn't have stood!

Guarantee they will do the same on Match of the Day. They will read the law out and then they will all say that they still feel it is offside even though the letter of the law clearly says the goal was 100% fine.

Love it, Walton being forced to admit he didn't know the rule book he is paid to know.

Well done Robbie Savage sticking up for us.

As for Bernie, he has been back to his best for three or four weeks, him and Gundo won us that with their desire to keep going.

Sterling and Jesus need to either get with it or don't fucking sulk if other players are in better form.

Thought it was Rodri's best game for a while, but our midfield never learnt that Grealish likes to drive inside with the ball.

Phew.

Against very good side, we played our game and we’re back to our Best
Trust in PEP

Bernardo and Gundogan missed sitters in either half that had me thinking it was gonna be one of those nights
Villa had some good chances too on the break
Was a very good game
Nice to win ugly in terrible conditions

KDBs injury takes the shine off things a bit

Bernie has his mojo back

...Who?

 

[Muttley59]

Which of course is absolutely true, thats exactly what he is

im not a lip reader but pretty sure he called moss a twat, twice

 

[brazilians hurt]

Rodri knows the fucking rules, bell end.

He is a professional so probably does study them its just a shame the bell end pundits don’t. I feel we beat villa and the biased BT commentary team tonight.
Oh and Grealish 10/10 tonight for sheer twatishness - absolute prick

I stopped watching MOTD a while ago. But you know that they will come out with some claptrap like this.

Raggie Higginbotham being a Mardy rag ****. "That goal isn't in the spirit of the game"

Bitter rag bastard.

Higginbotham’s comments were a disgrace. He clearly doesn’t know the rules. I was hoping Robbie Earl would straighten him out, but he was lame too.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Listening to Darren fletcher on BT fawning all over noddy, Fernandes and united in general, you coujd he forgiven for thinking it’s the Darren fletcher that used to play for them. Cunts

 

[Blue Mist]

Why are blues still posting that they would be pissed off if that goal was given against us ?
Mings should have headed it clear simple. He didnt he looked round, saw Rodri there but still controlled it with his chest, he then took a second touch before Rodri tackled him.
It shows how stupid BT are, they employ an ex ref who doesnt know the rules. They also employ a drug cheat who hates City so much he still insists it was offside well just because, it is not fair Mister.
As for the second goal, they are given every week as penalties, people are only moaning because it was given for City.

Fuck 'em.

He called him a fucking prick going off.

BT made bigger cocks of themselves than usual tonight but "it can't be handball it was going wide" was the icing on the cake
