Yes. It's been there since the start of the match, too. No idea why they didn't sweep it up. Cheap bastards.
That's why they needed to join the ESL, so they could pay their groundstaff Cheeky bastards'd probably try that line, too...
This sort of **** is why I find it so frustrating to watch City and it was the same when Guardiola was at Barca. Just an obvious, cynical trip with no attempt to get the ball and Silva should be straight in the book. It's an easy one. They've done loads like that this half and got nothing. Herrera got booked for being pissed off, though.
Exactly what is wrong with football there. Fernandinho followed him off the pitch to delay the throw. There should be an immediate sanction on that but instead Di Maria feels he has to take action. I don't think he even meant to kick him
Di Maria half-slipped on the snow, but I think he was trying to step on his foot. Fernadinho's just immune to being carded, for some reason. Could've got two in the first five minutes or so.
He made six fouls in that game and didn’t get a single booking. He’s a very good player, but it’s frustrating that he almost never gets punished. He must have a silver tongue.
What’s with the snow? I live six miles from the Etihad. There ain’t no snow - plenty of rain- but no snow.
I live just under 2 miles from the ground and can confirm it was hailstones, sheets and sheets of them in a ten minute period.
I just don't regard City as a proper football team. They are just an ego trip for one of the most disgusting group of humans on the planet. I refer to Saudi. The commentators fawning over them is quite sickening and usually results in me turning the game off. As you say they are not content to buy up all the best players they can, they then employ a manager whose tactics include very cynical fouling of any opposition team trying to move into their half. They have taken diving to new levels and officialdom rewards them for doing it. The pursuit of money is reaching new depths. They have stolen the game of football and the FA has enabled it to happen. Football is a business at this level, masquerading as sport, but what a strange business it is. Can you think of another business that would be so eager to employ a manager, and now I am talking Jose, who has been fired from his last 3 jobs with huge pay offs because he produced such poor performances from talented players who clearly play better when he has gone. Crazy.
That was the hilarious thing about Sunday, not a single protester interviewed had a Manchester accent
This 100%. Watching the game last night, listening to biased commentators underplaying the numerous and cynical City fouls and a referee who allowed 6 fouls to go uncarded (from Foden in the 2nd minute) til finally booking... a PSG player, was unedifying to put it mildly.
I was half expecting that PSG as the only 'non-superleague team' left in the ECL would get a couple of decisions go their way on route to winning the competition, but over the 2 legs nothing could be further from the truth.
Thinking about it, is that really the point you want to pick up on when we are talking about City and football?
Yes, of all the club that flout financial fair play you seem to focus on Man City because of their owners and then wrongly bring up Saudi Arabia when Saudi Arabia have nothing to do with Man City.
