As well as entertaining I think he is absolutely fair to us, can’t think of many others who are

He is honest and largely unbiased in his opinions and he's very good a slapping fools who come on and spout shit on 606; not that I've listened to that for over a year: that's reserved for driving home from games.

Well said - I was thinking the same thing. I've read before that the ball can be in contact with the foot for between 2-3 frames, so it also comes down to which frame they use when making these offside calls.

It's judged by the moment the ball first touches the boot or head.

We have one, so they must do.

I was a milkman's assistant in Gorse Hill in the 1950s at the weekends - great fun especially in winter kicking the empties off the frozen steps.

I’ve just watched the game again and was struck with the sheer intensity and will to win in that 20 minute period between us going level and going back to 2-1. We had created 4 clear cut chances within 4 minutes and were utterly relentless until it came. That’s a new side to City. Kompany once criticised the team for not recovering well from a moment of adversity. That’s long gone.

Thanks, mate.

seemed a bit rusty and lacked rhythm but still had his moments

Not me. He's not back to his brilliant best yet, but the signs are there. He's pressing well. Some of his passes were sublime. He keeps the ball well. I always feel more relaxed when he's in front of our defenders. His shooting is a bit off but he still nearly scored having beaten the defender with ease. I saw a comment that he was running out of steam in the last 20 minutes, but his run into the corner was instrumental to the 4th goal & according to the stats they showed during the game, he'd covered more ground than anyone else on the pitch bar one. The more he plays, the better he'll get.

Traore put baby oil on his arms.

Mahrez put baby oil on his dick.

Did Mahrez really put baby oil on Traore’s dick?

Apologies but I missed that part of the press conference.

Kenny was a little before my time mate so can't really comnent on his situation. I am not surprised though. We always seem to have a whipping boy.

Recently it seems to have been Gundogan. I remember posting about Gundogan when his abuse was at its height, that the only reason people were giving him grief was vecause he was not as good as David or KDB. He was still a million miles better than most other midfielders in the league. Low and behold, David moves away and Gundogan thrives, the abuse stops. People just want a scapegoat and I find it rather sad.

With Ilkay, it was just keyboard warriors - nothing in the stadium apart from lone voices here and there. With Kenny Clements, I'm sure he had a behind the scenes job at City - brought up as a United fan but became a blue. Story somewhere about him being with United fans at a derby and celebrating when we scored. But he got abused by large numbers of fans after years of no abuse. He turned it round though.

That offside decision against LaPorte is a joke, however precisely it has been measured. Indeed measuring offside to that level of precision is the primary joke. In the first instance, decision making by officials needs to be based on something that is possible in real time with the naked eye so that VAR is truly dealing with clear and obvious errors. I'd still bin VAR.

One thing that struck me was where they drew the line, I thought it would be from his shoulder because you can score a goal with your shoulder. It seemed to be from the end of his shirt sleeve, so can you score a goal with the bit of your arm that is sleeved?
