It is obvious mate but having the commentators/media on your side is massive.

They can tell everyone the right decisions were made and all is well.

If the commentators said what they saw, officials wouldn't get away with it.

We were very poor in the 1st half as bad as we have been for a very long time. A bit better in the 2nd.
Not worried as vermin will drop points as well and surely we won't play as bad again for a good while to come.

Lately, I think we’ve got had a fair call from the officials but when you see them tonight, you really notice how obvious it is. There was one point where the ref took about 10 seconds to penalise us in the box, obviously signalled from the Match Commander in his ear.

I wouldn't worry, we're bound to have blips and thankfully it won't be that costly. Our rivals will drop points along the way. I can't see us faltering, We move on

This result gives hope to the Dippers who can go on a long winning run with a little help from VAR.
The problem for them is squad depth and number of competitions that they are still (uncharacteristically) involved in.
VAR had got dragged a dreadful Rags outfit into fourth. Think what they can do for a good Dipper team.

We are still in the driving seat but the PL title race is not over.

That was my worry, we’ve been officiated fairly recently so it was only a matter of time before they screwed us.

Hopefully we can ask the question about the red and use Stones’ red as an example.

I personally think it is, we're much more adapt at putting on runs of wins than them, this comes from experience. Brentford are in for a good hiding.

Their goal was disgraceful. Foden not tracking his man deserves a massive bollocking. He was strolling around for most of the game and apart from the one he put in a plate for Sterling, he didn’t do anything. Whatever is happening with him off the pitch I hope gets sorted.

I'd sit him for a few games. I hope he's not seen his arse. Offers not a lot at the moment.

Back on the coach with the gin and tunes. We stole a point today could have been dicked in the first half. One shot Eddy again everything goes through him. The offside the kid has put the ball under him. Onwards and upwards

Bit harsh on Ed mate. He saved us against Chelsea with that Lukaku 1v1.

Hope you had a top day despite the result.

Very much so, Eds view was blocked.

Always a good day City away top day and four hours back to come. Said it many times about Ed, he's in our team for his distribution his shots to save ratio is on a par with Bravo for me. Love Ed but a shot stopper he is not

Lukaku will certainly disagree with you.

It’s quite clear to many that the brand/competition has to be managed and with the current outcry from the Rag/Dipper/Arse media, it had to come.

That was a worldie for him, mate, not sure what Eddie could do.

Good to see you’ve had a good day though, hope you have a good trip back with plenty of swallies to keep you going ;-)

Not at all, I will stand Ed's up against Bravo's and I'd say they are close..Have never rated Ed's shot stopping ability. Grear ball distribution and that's why he is our keeper. All about opinions
