You get the feeling that Bournemouth could get more, as they're pretty good going forward. The problem is that they'll likely concede more than they score.
 
Problem Bournemouth have is that they are actually pretty ****e.
I blinding goal to show for 2 and 2/3 games.
City will bring on Aguero and stroll to a win.
 
That won't count as a dive by Aguero, but it basically is one.
He sees that he's not getting the ball, so he runs into the defender and goes to ground.
Totally looking for an undeserved penalty.
 
What utterly **** refereeing from Dean. Bournemouth have been absolutely ****ed over. The whistle should have already been blown for full time, and he had an absolute mare with his prior decisions on the half way line before the goal.
Absolute bullshit. The man isn't fit to referee.
 
7th minute of the 5 minute "injury" time? I guess with some clubs it means injury to their pride so they get as long as they need to sort it out. Did we get 7 minutes of injury time against Bayer when they spent half of the second half "injured"?

Anyone not think that refs decide the title? Anyone going to argue that it "all evens itself out over the season"? Yeah I'm sure that other clubs will be given 7 minutes injury time against Citeh.

It turned out to be 10 minutes, in the end.
Sterling was rightly sent off, thems the rules.
But none of what we just witnessed should have actually happened. The game should have been over. <doh>

Nah, took Dean at least a minute to sort out the hand bags on the side, then there was an injury and a sub with Afobe and after that Sterling was being an airhead and had to be sent off, plus City making a sub.

I hate it when it's the other way around and refs don't add it on so I'm pleased to see it done properly for once.

City looked poor again today though. £200mill spent and all the players brought in early yet they're still not scoring freely and look pretty disorganised.

Even with that considered, what about the clothesline on the Bournemouth player on the edge of the city defensive 3rd, the horrendous sliding tackle off the ball on the city player on the far side, and the tackle by king that wasn't a foul? 3 decisions in the space of about 10 seconds and Dean got them all wrong. One of those correct, and city wouldn't have scored.

I was just replying to your comments about the time keeping. I agree it should have never been a foul to City and Arter(if it was him) should have got his second booking for the foul a bit earlier. Didn't see the clothesline. It was all a bit of a mess.
