Big ban might be coming Agueros way.

And that's one fan who won't be at our match too!
 
Watching a football chat programme where there are 8 male journalists. One of the features of this is that there are usally 3 or 4 people speaking at the the same time. Nobody listens to the other point of view.
 
If we are going to throw the book around, it should really be aimed at Wigan for allowing their fans on to the pitch to confront the City players!!

You can't stop it when there's that many, most were doing it in a celebratory manner... only one dickhead there and Aguero should know better too.

Absolutely. They should lose their home advantage in the next round and have to play at their opponent’s ground.

Thinking about it, I think we stand a better chance at the DW!
 
I wouldn’t ban Aguero for that. They just lost a game, and some twat of a fan thinks it’s okay to grab him. It’s not.

I want to agree (and do in principle) but at the end of the day you simply can't react and take a swing at the guy.
 
Not sure it was that bad, and we want passion in football players. They’re only human.

Hmm. Passion? Yes, not like that though.

Sets a precedent if he gets away with it, don't get me wrong part of me would have liked to see him deck the gobshite but you simply can not react like that and lash out at a fan.
 
Infsct, watching it again he actually lashes out twice, looks like he aims a kick too. Completely unnacceptable as was the fan.
 
Was at the game....don't think i've celebrated a goal or a final whistle as much for a team I don't support! Just pray the game isn't on the Sat. St Patricks day...the one day a year I cant possibly take off working in an Irish bar...After the game probably the most violent scenes I've seen at a football match...Playing Wonderwall really goaded the City fans
 
The red card. Looked like Delph’s foot was above ankle height when making contact with his studs.
No question in my mind. Definitely a red.

Yet Shearer and the experts were straight on twitter saying that "if that's a sending off this game (football in general) will be ruined. Just a few days after yet again banging on about being entitled to cheat and defending players for not being able to withstand slight contact that they themselves initiate.

Bunch of tossers. But then I suppose they can;t all be Le Tiss and just put the ball over people and "walk" around them, then do it again because they've caught him up, before staying on his feet and putting the ball past the keeper.

What is ruining this game Alan is that it is all about free kicks and penalties nearly every game yet everybody bangs on about how much better the game is.
