    Exciting game.
    We look almost back to our competitive best. City dropping points. Our midfield needs another signing I think. I find it bizarre we are playing MacAlister as a CDM. Not the worst, but also a little vulnerable defensively.

    I’d love to see another replay of Diaz disallowed goal. Never saw the VAR thing where they draw lines everywhere. Looked offside on TV angle. But when they showed a more in line one with the cut of the grass, he looked on. Must have been millimetres.

    Jones a little unlucky. Unfortunate that his contact with the ball, bounced his foot up and into the ankle. But go in studs up and you run the risk.

    Jota just silly.

    30 seconds away from a point with 9 men away at spurs. Alas, not to be.

    Good on Ange.

    Jones a little unlucky??

    Only if the intent was to break the Spurs players leg

    It was a horrible tackle and the biggest issue was why refs continue to fail to hand out reds for tackles like that

    They shouldn't need VAR having a word in their ear to deal correctly with studs up shin breakers

    Totally fair tackle back in the day. No intent and got the ball fairly, and not his fault that his foot rebounded.

    Most people including Spurs fans are agreeing with this.

    The game has gone soft.

    They changed the rule about getting the ball first because the rule was abused. I for one am glad to see players protected from tackles that put them in danger of being injured.

    This Jones tackle was excessive force/serious foul play.... was careless initially but the result was that it endangered the safety of the player with the ball.

    Good decision.

    Don’t have a problem with it being a send off. I think the outcome of the challenge and contact with the player, it needs to be a red.


    My initial comment was that it was a bit unlucky. It wasn’t a cynical, malicious, or intended to injure the player. He got the ball and bounced over it. but yes, it was careless/reckless.
    Red card was fair. I’m not entirely sure why they challenged it.

    For anyone who didn't hear/see this, have a listen to the absolute sh!t show that these clowns at Stockley Park conjured up to completely bamboozle themselves
    with their own bullshit VAR vernacular top cock up a perfectly legitimate goal.
    Listen first...



    0:49 "Check complete Check complete. Yep yep.
    Then you hear a whistle then some F**ktard says quickly "Off" - which means to everyone - Offside.
    Amongst other shit: 0:53 Referee:- "Well done boys. Good process
    Good process?
    Nowhere does anyone definitively say in plain English "Attacking player Onside - goal"

    Now, the REAL problem is the fact we have a Replay Operator - not even an official calling these dickheads out.

    From 0:55- Replay operator: "Wait wait wait wait. The on-field decision was offside" then "Are you happy with this?"
    So, Asst VAR Dan Cook says: "Yeah"
    So, after seeing the lines, he's happy with that being called Offside by saying '"yeah".
    Replay operator again "Are you happy with this"
    Then, the absolutely disgraceful comment from Cook: " Offside. Goal . Yeah."
    What does all that actually mean? Was it Offside? Was it a goal?

    You don't even hear the main VAR (Darren England) comment until 1:11 with "Oh **** "

    Then there's this little background story.
    https://www.thisisanfield.com/2023/1...-vs-liverpool/
    All of them were on an Oil junket in the UAE the Thursday night before. Fantastic. Very professional. Great preparation.

    No wonder they were stood down.

    Lots of post-match analysis clips on this.
    The best I heard was when some Union ref was asked about the process and he said there were too many voices.

    Never ceases to amaze what a big target players are for crime and the lengths criminals will go to, to make a buck.

    I remember a few years ago, somebody was pumping gas into a house/apartment, break ins while players are out of town.
    Kidnapping of parents is a new one.
    I know players often like to keep their kids faces out of the limelight, but there’s definitely a safety element to that.

    Good win this AM.

    How exactly is this a "new" thing??

    Romario WC 94 winner Pissants superstar
    Robinhio Man Citys first big name star

    Both had parents kidnapped

    That's just off the top of my head

    Plenty more would occur in Sth America Africa etc but we never hear about

    Your finishing 3rd at best. Team and consistency isn't good enough.

    End of an era. Has been a pleasure to watch. If it weren’t for Man City, we’d have more than one league (and UCL) to show for it.

    Good luck to him. He is high octane, high energy and if he’s burnt out, then fair play to to him. Curious to see if Pep takes over or if we use the next few months to scout out somebody (presumably the club have put the ball in motion since November….)

    Presumably has an eye on German NT for 2026 WC.



    Edit: Pep and other staff confirmed to be vacating their positions also.
