The scream when he went down there just adds to my already massive dislike for the cunt.

His hair alone is reason enough for a massive shoeing in the plums

This is really not the game Sky hyped it up to be.

im hoping Keane calls it out at the end for being poor 

[Redder Lurtz]

Was anyone else stupid enough to sit through that Palace v Everton cup game? That's how exciting this is.

Great advert for the premier league, on par with the Budweiser/trans woman collab

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Completely different set of rules for this game when it comes to yellow cards. Totally as expected.

[Mark M]

How did that Rat barnardo get away with the foul from behind…. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Fuck me has Taylor forgot his cards

The atmosphere is great though isn’t it. Isn’t it?

At least he hasnt forgotten the instructions from Abu Dhabi!

Taylor will probably get plaudits after the game for not taking centre stage in a big game and for letting the game flow. 
 

But, I think he’s been fairly poor. Particularly when you look at what Mac Allister and van Dijk were booked for earlier today. There’s been a few incidents in this game that were more worthy of a booking.

 

I can see the arguments for championing a more at distance/hands off approach to refereeing. 
 

But, where’s the “consistency, kids?” Players should go onto the pitch knowing what they should and shouldn’t get booked for. And that should be determined by the rules of the game, rather than by what mood the referee is in on a particular day.

What a shit match this is.

[magicrat]

Game picking up a bit now after 75 minutes of nothingness.

[Pidge]

Akanji fouling the keeper again.

[Wicket]

I’m interested to see if there’s a blatant decision late on in this game that the ref or VAR don’t give because ‘its a big game’

Howard Webb style , Wonder where he's hiding today 

[Pidge]

Outstanding charge from Partey there, which makes a change...

[Bobby Hundreds]

We really need these to face each other in the champions league and tire each other out.

[Tenfolder]

Having watched Haaland a bunch here... He's either lazy or just shits out of a lot of tackles, just as well he's an absolute class goalscorer because I really don't see much else to his game any time I watch City.

It’s a massive game though. Winner of this has a great chance for second place.

[TheHowieLama]

Yeah - all well and good 'letting game flow' etc etc....But where is the consistency across refs and from game to game - we picked up 5 yellows today in what was not a dirty game....

He's the size of a mammoth and no surprise he's not what you need to play tippy tappy football. It takes to long for the message to get from his brain to tell his feet which direction to turn 

[TheHowieLama]

Played onside there, no flag - sheesh

[Fugitive]

Hahahahahahahahaland

[Pidge]

Bit of blatant cheating from sloth off the Goonies there, not called out for what it is.
