Tierney ahead of Kostas? What was he smoking!?

Carragher now agreeing it was a foul

Can’t say it too often

Hinchcliffe:’Toney went to ground rather easily’. Biased, much?

Biggest hypocrite of all is David Walsh, the Lance-hunter. Banging on in today's Times about Saudi and Qatari sportswashing, but consistently up the arse of P£p the Ch£que and Abu Dhabi FC.

I loved it that the whiney,niggly, angry little cunt Azplicueta missed his penalty. It’s a pity that wasn’t the penalty that cost them. But then we wouldn’t have had that magical Kostas moment. Happy days.

There are many, many ill-informed people out there. I had an online argument with a whopper once who - in defence of City, of course - was arguing that the Moores bought Liverpool's success in the sixties onwards. I had to point out that wihilst we were paying £35k and £40k of Yeats and The Saint, Man U and Spurs were shelling out £100k on Law and Greaves. I didn't even bother mentioning the likes of Clemence, Keegan, Larry Lloyd and others who we bought for a pittance from lower league clubs. (Those were also the days when lower league clubs survived by developing talent and selling it to bigger clubs. Now, of course, the academies, especially Chelsea and City, hoover up all the talent and the smaller clubs have to go down on bended knee to plead for loanees).

I actually thought the linesmen were worse tonight.

And what are the chances of them playing with the same energy, intensity and aggression?

He’s just so full of shit. The founder of City Group is Mansour, the chairman is Mubarak. They are part of the UAE government. In other words, these people…. https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/united-arab-emirates/ As regards FFP, is he really saying that he believes all of their denials about the cheating? He’s a very intelligent man, he knows what’s been going on. Which makes him an ubercunt

I think you answered your own question. (CapeRed got there before me). Every club he's managed, he's inherited a clutch of world class players (and even Ballon d'Or winners).......and then he's gone on to spend a shed load of money on top. The English media constantly overlook the fact that he inherited a world class spine at City - Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, Aguero..... and has since spent about FIVE times Juergen's net spend.

Thanks

Cheers. I’m 1410! Another anxious wait on Tuesday afternoon.

The much vaunted Chelsea academy? Going downhill since they got caught breaking FIFA rules?

3 times in the 2nd half, Pickford took 18 seconds or more before releasing the ball. It’s ridiculous the way refs are anal about some rules eg ball in quadrant for corners, but completely disregard others
