***Champions v Fulham Official Match Thread***

Shoulder to shoulder, was the red for a supposed stamp?

It's never shoulder to shoulder, he barges him in the back. Definite penalty, definite red card.

You clearly need to look at it again.

Genuinely not sure from that angle.

it is a foul , from the reverse angle you see him shoulder the player in the back.

Not needed, better to let him go and keep eleven on the pitch , even if it became 1-1 .

From the other side you can see he barged him in the back, not close to being shoulder to shoulder. From the long distance at that angle it looks like it but it wasn't.

Contrary to our beloved Charles I don't take any solace at bemoaning the manager, nevermind badmouthing a City player,
BUT
I very much hope this ultimate bullox dropped by that "winger wannabe" fackwit never arsed to apply brain to defensive face will prove to be the final penny dropped in the Pep's love in for that idiot.
Very much hope from now on our beloved genius will start Rico or, failing confidence on him an Under17 FB, or failing confidence on him my mom on a wheelchair... whatever overthink he might please... but for the shit of me, please Pep stop playing that idiot.
Who ever of the aforementioned contingency options might prove average in a few games, but I am sure at the end of the season, the balance would be more positive that keep playing that unarmed fuckwit.

Rant over.

Will win this irrespectively COME ON CITY!

didn't i just write that ??

[ayrshireblue]

Yes you did, I was backing you up.

[ayrshireblue]

It was a penalty, it was a red card but fuck me this ref is a cunt. Its the small things that get to you, the throws that he gives obviously the wrong way, the advantage played and no card given later, the sly foul left unpunished. Absolute bought off cunt.

Two centre backs at full back aren’t going to make things happen. Really time for Grealish to be aggressive with the ball. Obviously Kevin to Alvarez or Kevin himself are options but we need Grealish to do something special as well.

Come on City!!

[hyper]

Rodri stepping up.

Time for Phil and/or Erling I think.

[mr_nool]

Great stuff from Alvarez.

[carl_feedthegoat]

If Grealish cannot fucking be a match winner with the tools at
his disposal , against fucking Fulham !! , then he’s no use to us at all .

100 fucking million and the lack of a decent LB continues to cost us .

[Dameerto]

Great stuff from Alvarez.

I fucking love the little guy.

[mr_nool]

Great stuff from Alvarez.

I fucking love the little guy.

He's like a pretty Tevez.

[blues2win]

Looks like Phil and Erling coming on. No surprise.

[john@staustell]

Rodri stepping up.

Time for Phil and/or Erling I think.

Erling. Have to run around a lot!

[CTID Hants]

Howbthe fuck us Tete still on the pitch???

[hyper]

Phil on for Jack, Erling on for Alvarez.

[blues2win]

Alvarez off which is unfortunate but pretty inevitable. Grealish off is understandable. Phil far more likely to make things happen.

[CTID Hants]

Wow, Julian off???
