You keep posting these. He can’t do worse than having a **** team and being 8th at season end. Wonder why you are pro Silva out?
Because Moshiri's said there's no money for a new manager so it's going to be hilarious

They certainly were. The second Aguero lays that ball off is the only decision that needs to be made. Everything that happens after that point doesThis off side rule must be clarified. Sterling was in an offside position. And the referee gave it on the basis that the defender played it first and the ball went off Sterling.
It shouldn’t have been given because when the ball was played by Aguero towards him, Sterling clearly made an attempt to play it. That means he is active and clearly offside. This goal should not have been given.
City was damn lucky there.

I think law 11 makes it a legit goal![]()

It doesn't say attempting to play the ball is an offence (I always thought it was) unless it impedes or impacts on an opponent, in this case the opponent was not affected by the player.Only if you think that Sterling wasn’t attempting to play the ball. If you actually think this, well......
Unexpected result of the weekend is 2-1 to Southampton against Spurs.
Spurs sliding down the table and within sight of the mancs (and the other London rivals). A few months ago there was a 15 point difference between them. That they could now be on the same number of points is insane.
Could Spurs actually drop out of top 4?
And the first non runner to finish third in a three horse race ?First team in a three horse race to finish fifth?

Unless we score one like that obviously![]()
