Just in time for the 115 charges against them to be resolved in 2034

What 115 charges? *Looks under the carpet*

Ohh.. those. The ones that have been conveniently forgotten about

That Delot double yellow (which i think was correct...at the time) looks more baffling everyweek the way players are arguing with the referees.

 

[Irish_Tom]

So predictable. If we had any depth we’d be dangerous.

Its one of the most peculiar refereeing decisions I've seen this season (amidst a season thats chock full of peculiar refereeing decisions)

I actually think it was the right call...but since it just hasnt been enforced at all. Rodri today was far worse.

Previously or since, thats what makes it stand out as so peculiar

And next week it will be for a couple of weeks, and then not for a couple of weeks...

Not being able to make any meaningful changes during games for the last 2 months is hard to watch. No idea what our medical team is playing at.

The timing of the third goal was a gut punch, but it was coming and tbh we came out of the game with no injuries so that's a positive. Tbh I expected to get spanked 0-4 so I'll take the gutsy 2-3.

This^^^, love having a Greater Manchester referee officiating the game mind

It's just a cycle caused by the lack of depth to begin with, coupled with a few long term losses that were not avoidable.

 

[Bigpig]

Only Murphy is due back this month.

Barnes probably mid feb and I doubt we see Willock the rest of the season :/

Edit and Wilson back this month

I know conspiracy theories are you thing but what on earth? If any side could be upset with the ref today it was City.

I just like to whinge TBH city, like Liverpool a a few weeks ago should have been out of sight well before 90mins

KDB back up to speed pretty swiftly then!

Arsenal 5 points off the top when they were expected to be challenging. Still a way to go but they seem to be regressing...

Says who?

They're about where you'd expect them to be.

They were expected to be challenging? Maybe you didn't think so, but a lot of people did.

Desperately need a striker.

 

[omnomnom]

Still needing a striker after spending the best part of 600 mil is negligent tbh.

 

[Vandle]

Entertaining game, disappointing result although I expected it to be worse. You know it’s going to be tough game when Bruno is booked so early. No complaints, play like that every week and we’ll win a lot of games. Can’t fault the player’s effort. I felt the Sunderland result was papering over the cracks a little bit but they looked so much better today than in recent weeks.

KDB though, something else isn’t he. He is always in space, I just don’t know how he does it. Makes the game look so easy.
Nice for city to be able to bring on a pair of match winners and leave Grealish on the bench mind, Newcastle had two goal keepers, two untested teenagers and a clearly unwanted Matt Ritchie on theirs.

 

[jeffk]

Yup, they'll win about 14 in a row now.

Nah, they’ve got to play Spurs away eventually. I think they’ll only manage a 13 game winning streak.
