***City vs Spurs Official Match thread***

Was the booing at half time at the ref or the team?

I interpreted that as being at the ref.

Happens plenty of times but the cunts on TV try to spin it they're booing the team

[branny]

grealish has been dogshit. not sure what you lot are seeing.

Are you for real? He's been brilliant. Even in the poor first half for me

He frustrates the hell out of me. He had Royal backing off him into the box and chose to pass it back. We had a 3 on 3 late on and he was more interested in finding the floor. Mahrez was brilliant, Grealish did what Grealish does.

Leaving aside the on field debate, Jack is a "star". Everyone likes Jack. He's the sort that makes people who know fuck all about football support City.

Just trying to explain some of the reasons City signed him.

Yeah I get it, Grealish the brand. Just think his decision making and end product are nowhere near where they should be. I also know he's playing out of position and Pep loves him because he helps keep possession high up. I'd like to see him in the no 10 role when Kdb is rested.

Definitely the team. As fans, we’re always a little nervy about Spurs and, for me, that always affects our play and that’s what makes the win even better as the team came out and changed not only the game, but the mood of the fans.

@NottsBlue. Ref was still a cunt and I think Pep’s reaction at the end said it all. He knows how we are officiated differently and he usually celebrates like that when he knows he’s done it despite the referee.

ayrshireblue picked up on it. I'm a bit loath to keep questioning the absolute rubbish in black who masquerade as Referees. This guy is simply vindictive. He is not good enough to Referee at this level. He could have justifiably sent Betancur off within the first twenty minutes. T*sser - and if i ever cross paths with Micheal Oliver in an Airport Lounge or , well , wherever , i'm going to give him a right slap across the ear , the useless t*sser

Cant do midweek so wasnt there. When im.there its been the ref

Id say ref

But tbf if i was there id feel like booing cos the mistakes were bottle jobs

Getting stick about the boos though. Im going bent ref

[zuricity]

Compliments to our young fella Rico, what a genial player he is . Jeez are we lucky, Big balls this kid. some of these muscle bound jerks are going to get a good slap soon from Rico. Kicked all over the place and he gets up and rolls on - the useless ref gives Mahrez a card ! mind boggles

Oh, I agree, the ref was a cunt, again, and it’s even clearer this season that they have been directed to give us fuck all. I do reckon that the Rags, Dippers and Arse would get that but where there’s any chance of doubt with us, they’re not giving it. All I highlighted was what they did to get out of giving it.

RatBoy himself said it was a penalty but when not given, quickly brushed under the carpet.

[Beefymcfc]

Are we smiling? Thought we had the majority of control and then let down by crazy mistakes. Shook ourselves down and played how we know we can play, like somebody had slapped us around the face (did the booing wake them up?).

Please, much more of that second half. I quite enjoy that

[Beefymcfc]

Brilliant. Cockernies crying, Rag Cunts crying, and Red Scouse getting the candles out to cry into as well.

What a night.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Had to turn it off and get the kids to bed. What's pep being saying?

[zuricity]

Got to be honest, I'd have been annoyed if it was the other way round and a pen was given.

Richarlison jumped with both arms outstretched, exactly what the handball law describes as making yourself bigger and should be penalised.

He didn't really make himself bigger though did he, he's jumping backwards off balance, stretching to get something on it. His arms were natural given the movement. I wouldn't complain if it gained us a penalty mind!

That's why handball IS a subjective call, I think he does make himself bigger and you don't. Who's right is irrelevant as none of us make the call.

Nah, come on, it hit his arm by the shoulder that has nothing to do with the hand. The talk is of handball and therefore only the hand should be involved ( not what the IFAB tossers think , but there we are). Handball for me is when someone knowingly plays the ball with the hand. Why is the arm above the elbow considered a hand ? no worse than playing the ball with your D*ck - if you have one.

He told Emerson he's a very naughty boy.

[sheblue]

Rico Lewis is like 70 million pound signing. What a player. He had a great game for such a young lad.

[blues2win]

Pep sounding furious with the team. He’s got a point. We can’t play like we did in the first half and make stunning come backs time after time. Ain’t going to happen. Says there’s a lack of passion and desire in the team. Quite interesting.

[nottsblue]

Pep doesn’t seem a happy bunny. He is questioning the desire of a number of the team. The team selection for the next few games is going to be very interesting

Shooting from the hip as usual.

He's just thrown the gauntlet down to each and every player.
