    Well they nicked a win in the end - bit like against us Liverpool weren't great but had the good fortune.

    It is our duty to stop them beating Arsenals unbeaten record and Man Citys winning run

    I think Fez’s wife and mine are both Arsenal fans so that’s not the first time we’ve heard that, eh, Fez? ;)

    VAR even going against us in games we aren't playing in!

    Leicester score a goal which is ruled out for handball and now Norwich are 1-0 (Sorry Dave )

    We are still 3 points ahead and we still play them at home
    Also good to see Brenda and his over hyped second rate divas brought back to earth
    Something we have to do in a couple of weeks

    Quite but would they spot the handball against us or give it ?!

    They are in a dip so need to take advantage.

    Good goal for the winner TBF.

    Cannot see our full backs doing that!!

    If Schmeichel hadn't of pulled off a couple of decent saves it would have been a larger margin.

    He seens a very angry young man - maybe gets it from his dad.

    Always seems to be cross with someone!

    This is really about opposition to Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig who are both seen as having bought their way to success. The Germans have a 51% ruling whereby that percentage of shares must remain as the possession of the club - it is not normally possible for an individual to come in and buy a club in the same way as happens in England. German football fans do not want the same situation as has happened in the Premier League. I agree that banners which are abusive to one person should not be allowed, but feel that this has been overblown a little - the same sentiments represented by those fans would have been shared by most fans in Germany, though not expressed in the same way.

    How did it happen that these clubs appear to be breaking the existing structure?

    There are a number of clubs which are not governed by these same rules Frenchie. Bayer Leverkusen and VFL Wolfsburg are not covoured because they started as factory owned clubs - hence the naming after Bayer and Volkswagon. RB Leipzig is classified separately from Red Bull Salzburg but effectively also comes from a corporate background. Exactly how Hoffenheim got round this ruling I'm not certain. Bayer and VFL do actually play by the rules, although not required to do so. Basically we need a strict set of rules which actually establishes the legal definition of a ''club'', which protects them against predatory capital - of the sort seen in the Premier League. I do not see how a club like Manchester City can actually be called a ''club'', or how they are allowed to even use the name of the town, when there is no connection to it other than the venue.
