**** City v Arsenal FA Cup Semi Official Matchday Thread****

[patrickblue]

Very disappointing. We just don't have the players available that pep needs to play his system. 2 full backs badly needed and Gundogan badly missed.

The referee was shocking. It seemed like the game was too big for him. He made poor calls for both teams and then flip flopped depending on who was giving him more grief

There was something very wrong there. Yaya flips the ball over an arse player, who then obstructs him, and arse get the fk that led to their winner.
As I said, the ref may as well have awarded the game to arse on 90 minutes, then we wouldn't be so knackered for the derby.
But the derby is part of their plan.

I hate Spurs with a vengeance after me and the lad got in to fight with 2 of them in a bar in Fuereventura during the away game of Hughes last season.

I couldn’t handle their screeching voices, I got up and moved away” One shouted wont matter where you sit you Manc cunt it wont change the result”

Well that was that, you know how it is.

I hate them more than the Candle Waivers.

They must be more gutted than us right now. If they don’t win the League their side will have still won fuck all at their peak, despite playing good attacking football.

Look at how quickly this cnut of a ref gave city yellow cards (deserved or not) compared with the times City players were fouled ( deserved or not ) . Very suspect

Komps foul leading to their goal from the free kick , how often did he let others go ? Sanchez elbows Fern 1 and goes down in the second half and this useless ref blows for an Arse foul ! incredible.

[bigblue]

Xakah not getting a card for fouling Silvia out of the game in the 1st half is so bad it's unreal. Even from a neutral/money standpoint, having one of the best players fouled out of the game is terrible.

Fuck the refs and fuck bt's joke coverage

My very thoughts when it happened'

Knew we were fucked then.

[Moonchesteri]

Well thats the season gone and on this form I'm not convinced we can qualify for the UCL.

Quite frankly I don't give a shite about the wenger cup. We lost today our only chance of silverware and questions needs to be asked

[zuricity]

People have been bitching and moaning about Yaya , but Yaya was brilliant today for 120 minutes.

He looked the most likely to do anything creative.

We badly need an English guy in the team that can rip these refs a few fcuking new arses . The ref today was beyond a joke. How he could even let that tosser of a linesman disallow kuns ( and Sterlings ) goal is incredible.

Yaya was quality today best player on the pitch. I'm scratching my head wondering how the fuck we lost today. No point me dwelling on it as whatever I come up with isn't gonna change the result. So we need to start thinking about Thursday asap and come back fighting. No trophy but the season isn't over and we must get focused very fookin quick. The bin dippers have done us a favour and there is pride at stake lets finish strong.

[sheblue]

My god what blatant cheating.

This is a monumental problem. What on earth is it going to be like next season, but never mind that for now. What about the shit were going to see on Thursday where everything will be done to get the points for the rags.

How on earth does mcfc sort this bias problem long term? Is there a solution.

I agree completely.

As a matter of principle, referees and officials get the benefit of the doubt and unbiased watching from me, but today was decidedly fishy. It's almost like City having to overcome a golf style officials handicap to get to zero. Or to put it another way starting the match at -2 and referee allowance of 4 yellow cards and 1 or 2 penalty rejections.

Emotionally I'd like to see City boycotting UEFA and the FA's corrupt competitions - the FA Cup and UCL, but unfortunately that might cause a player exodus in the case of UCL.

[City64]

Not a lot more City could have done today to win the game , totally outplayed the gooners , hit the woodwork several times , another stonewall pen not given and a clear goal disallowed for fuck all !!! Ref was utter wank even after about 5 mins we were all saying here we go again with another bent cunt of a ref !!! proper shafted by the officials and the FA yet again !!! how many times have we been fucked over this season ??? Dave crocked , Aguero injured looking grim for the derby on thursday we need divine intervention ! City fans were truly immense today absolute fucking class unlike one or two bellends on here !!! lay off Pep after todays robbery all the team gave there everything no way did we deserve to lose today but it does just about sum our season up for me !

Knew we were fucked then.

This has consistently been the worst of refereeing against us, IMO.
The persistent fouling on our creative players, going unpunished.

It's like everyone else is in on the joke.
They all know they can kick us out of a game and get away with it.
It has affected our team and our performances.

The way Silva has been treated this season in particular, is criminal.

Expect worse on Thursday.

Of course there is.
Owners have made a long term +£billion investment that exceeds football and includes community investment and regeneration.
These are very powerful people with very deep pockets and very powerful connections.
Not a chance they are going to say goodbye to that investment or that they will take what we are currently getting.
As the season has progressed the decisions against us have got worse.
To the point where the authorities don't seem to care how obvious it is.
Today being a prime example, I mean when you start disallowing good goals, you don't care who knows.

So why do they not care about covering it up anymore?

Has to be that there is a war raging in the background, Club Vs Sky money.

We will know who has won come next season (does not help us for Thursday though).

That was their game plan from KO, just got home, any news on how bad Merlin's injury is?

[Saul Goodman]

Unfortunately didnt get to watch it.
Anyone care to summarize but exclude the ref decisions? How did we play? Bravo clown it up again? Front 3 wasteful?

I would absolutely love love love it if we signed a hard man who would chop off any clown who tries to injure our attacking players.

A modern day Gerry Gow would do quite nicely.
