***city v spurs official match thread***

[failsworthblue]

You cannot legislate against corruption and they are not afraid to hide it , even in our own backyard.

Cannot wait for the Derby , we might finish with 8 men if we are lucky.

I think pep will be in for a shock when he comes up against all these fucking bent or incompetent refs
Clettenburg has always had an agenda against us in my opinion

What pep has is time, a lot if time by now to study this team and this league.
I don't think he will be shocked one bit, in fact he is preparing for it and has been for some time.

In addition, the ball went out for a goal kick when one of the Tottenham players (I can't remember which) took it to the corner flag with only a few minutes left to go, and I watched Zabaleta going to retrieve it to give it to Hart, and there didn't seem to be much urgency in him.

Did you also watch Zaba steaming into Lamela to force him to kick it wide when he was intent on going to the corner?

I've literally just re watched the incident now several times and he didn't 'steam' into him. He was ridiculously lethargic in getting the ball back once it had gone out of play and was literally trotting (not even jogging) back onto the pitch. Where as Silva for example, was showing a lot of urgency knowing there's limited time left.

Are you suggesting that Zab's isn't fighting for our cause??

And that's what they want, us fighting against the Rags for 4th place.

Remember our first PL winning run in, it was fucking disgusting the way we were ref'd. We won against all adversary yet some still see it as us being lucky. Fuck me, we were shafted all season, it was an absolute miracle, and great team play, that we won it. Norwich was one of the worst games I have seen for officiating, fucking unbelievable how they were allowed to batter us yet we got called out everytime we went near them.

Everybody knew what the score was, Mancini, Vieira et al, nothing has changed.

Not as black and white as that. I think his enthusiasm has waned certainly. He's already made noises of possibly leaving in the summer and a new manager adds to that uncertainty.

Prior to that, watching Kelechi just stood there on his own after his goal was also bizarre.

I think there is some discontent within the squad personally.

I'm sorry mate but I would never question Zab's commitment, that is one player you cannot really put it to. There maybe an issue with Nacho and I couldn't comment.

What I'd say from tonight is that we were all in unison, we wanted to win and felt fucked over by the ref. Even Kolarov was screaming for the ball tonight, we have pride in our ranks.

I always try to say it as I see it, and today is no exception. The players played to a script but were then undone by blatant cheating from the PL and their officials. We tried to push, and did well, but were let down by some poor defending (or good attacking).

Once a wum always a wum.

[Original Dub]

You expect a certain amount of drivel after losses and certainly after corrupt officiating, but this thread has gone from the ridiculous to the absolutely bizarre.

So now nobody was happy that nacho scored, zabba doesn't really care about City anymore.
And the manager was the main reason we lost.

Fair play to you edge, you haven't changed mate.
Not one iota.

Your problem is you see everything at either 0% or 100%. There are no grey areas.

No one ever stated that nobody is happy that Kelechi scored and no one claimed Zabaleta doesn't care about City anymore.

Questioning zabbas commitment. He was one of the most committed out there. Thought he played well actually

Too much player power mate. They're obviously unhappy with something, but they're forgetting that we're paying hard earned money to watch them!

Fuck me, I'm classed as a paranoid cunt but you 2 take the fucking biscuit.

Did I imagine the end of Mancini's rein mate?

Me too.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Clettenburg has always had an agenda against us in my opinion

except for when he sent off Evans in the derby which resulted in a 6-1 battering.

There was no getting out of that one. If he was/is corrupt then not giving a red there would definitely have blown his cover.

I personally don't think he's corrupt, I just think that like the majority of refs from PGMOL he just doesn't like us.

It's what you're insinuating.

The Kelechi thing, I reckon the rest of them wanted to get on with trying to win the game.

I'll have to watch that Zaba incident again, the way I remember it is that he was taking the ball to the corner and Zaba's intervention caused him to kick it wide?

Oh and Henry said it did he? Must be something in it so, not like that cheating cunt has a vested interest in this title race is there? Do you recall just a couple of weeks back Zaba insisting he take that pen and all the players singing his name when he came back to the dressing room? Definitely seems like there's something amiss there.

First of all, you could be right about the rest of them just wanting to get on with it. I said the incident itself was rather strange. However in my opinion I think there's an element of discontent in the squad. Believe it or not, this could mean 'minor' discontent or a 'small' amount of discontent. A lot of people on this forum only seem to understand extremes.

In regards to Henry I never said anything about him, only that I thought he made a good point.

I do recall a few weeks ago when Zabaleta insisted on him taking the penalty and sang his name into the dressing room. But why is this relevant to your post? I never said the players dislike or hate Kelechi. I said the incident of him celebrating alone was strange and bizarre thus the squad not 100% harmonious.

If people want to take certain information, warp it in their own mind, and then jump to conclusions unfortunately I cannot help that.

[Dameerto]

Blatantly bad decision from a referee that was unsighted - almost brushed off by MOTD - Murphy says he didn't do it on purpose and was influenced by Spurs players - but at least they all agreed it didn't touch his arm. Sleep well Clusterfuck you fucking twat, job well done.

[Original Dub]

You can help it edge.
You can help it by not insinuating disharmony like some fucking second rate pundit.

You can state exactly what you believe it to be, citing reasons and producing evidence.

Like a normal person would.

Instead of "just throwing it out there "
