Don't you just love the consistency of Premier League officials?
Not a whole lot different to Robertson's sending off...yet this doesn't even get a mention on BBC report. <doh>

"That is a red, but because he doesn’t play for Chelseaand his name is Ronaldo he will not get a red card"
Famously persecuted Chelsea, who've had one red card this season, which wasn't for a foul.
 
In the most laughable piece of copy written by a football journalist in the past week, it's claimed that The Sheikh Mansour Team will reinvest the fee from selling Ferran Torres

Because of course they didn't have a vault of money they could just go into an grab a hundredweight if they decided they haven't broken the transfer record for a CB in the past fortnight...

That was a bent deal if I've ever seen one. Barca have no money yet were able to buy Torres for a very generous sum thanks to a loan from an unnamed bank. This happens to coincide with City going into the Jan window in need of a new striker and potentially needing to sidestep FFP in order to put out an eye watering bid for their top targets.

Now, I do wonder if said loan happened to be from the Central Bank of the UAE.
 
Liverpool lose to Leicester <laugh><laugh><laugh>

LFC's starters last played against your lot on 19th Dec - LCFC played 48 hours ago with midfielders at CB and should have been dead in the water. Embarrassing loss which all but certainly hands the title to City now you'd think. A 6 points lead for a Pep team is pretty much unassailable.

I guess the whining really takes it out of you...it sure tires me out, anyway.

Another possibility is that a match where they should have lost by at least one and probably two hurt their belief.
