Can anyone seriously see us winning a thing this season

Will Pep say anything though about their first goal? Or are we going to do this typical City nice guy approach as usual?

100% nice guys approach.
I often feel that we live as a club in Shangri La, everyone plays fairly around us, the media will recognize how good we are as a club because we won so many things, there is no agenda and so on.

They are bending the rules of football against us and we just sit there and take it.

If the club want to push our own fans away, they’re going the right way about it.

Pep needs to come out now and say it how it is. Did it even go to VAR or did the linesman change his mind so it was just given.
Come on City it’s time to fuck these cheating cnuts over

I think our biggest flaw as a club is that we don't have someone from the system around our board. Spafia are new to England, they did they job in a fantastic way, but they don't have the ropes locally, that's how I see it.
We never get the decision against the murdering cunts and the rags.
There are 14 years since our last league penalty against the rags, ffs.

I don't want Pep to come out and say it as it is, It won't make any difference, I want us to take actions behind the doors.
I want dark arts, I want us to be fucking dirty.

You cannot win the UCL by being nice.

Unfortunately not.

Still feel gutted, don’t mind losing to a better team but when the officials fuck you over it’s hard to take

[Michigan Blue]

Hearing some say they should have sent Atwell to the monitor, like that would have changed anything.

Any neutral asking why such a weak and inept referee would be assigned to this fixture has answered their own question.

I said after the Saints debacle we need to manage our expectations

Rio coming out with the chestnut that these decisions even themselves out

No
They
Fucking
Dont

[blues2win]

Dermot Gallagher seems to suggest it didn’t go to VAR.

[Beefymcfc]

Have they got VAR at the Swamp or is it like we now know about Anfield?

The golden Boot for Haaland

As a team we will be clapping

[Beefymcfc]

Do you know what, as soon as we see these types of decision I have that instant angry moment but then am over it. It just makes a mockery of the game so I don’t see why I should let it bother me.

All part of the master plan of keeping the brand strong and bringing in the coin.

[s1ty m]

Gutting. We’re not that good anymore.

The controversy aside, at 1-0 we started giving the ball away. The obvious move was to bring Gundogan on. But no. Go for a second goal, perhaps? No.

Cancelo played well, to be fair.

Not the way he’s playing. 2 games hiding behind the last defender. It’s currently an issue we’re not talking about.

[Outcast]

I feel sick. Ruined my fucking weekend.

This sums it up perfectly. Not a sport any more, just an entertainment brand that does what is necessary to keep the cash rolling in.

Blame the ref as much as you want - fact is we have been shit this season .

Defense has never ever been settled and that’s all down to the bald genius we have at the helm .

Totally disagree, we were controlling the game until the officials decided that offside doesn't count anymore for one team only. Blatant pushes in the back from Casemeiro and Fred don't get given as penalties.

If gashford didn’t touch the ball and didn’t obstruct the goalie , how is it offside ?

Or am I not seeing something that you are ?

And if you think Baldie has played a blinder with picking out defenders then I have no more words to say .

What are you talking about Carl ? That is absolute nonsense. Rashford was two yards offside when the ball was played through He didn't stop knowing he was offside, he ran on to try and take a shot at goal. He was interfering with play. further, he was offside on the second goal too . No VAR check for both of them. That is cheating.

Yep
I stand corrected

It's hard to see it at the moment. But I think we're well in with a shout in the 3 comps left.
But we will need to improve, and we can.

Ex-PGMOL boss says Fernandes goal should not stand
Former head of refereeing body PGMOL Keith Hackett believes Manchester United's first goal should have been ruled out for offside.

I believe that one of the worlds most experienced Assistant Referees Darren Cann in flagging Rashford offside was correct to do so. I believe that there is justification to disallow this goal in law for offside.
