When he is playacting looking for fouls, whining to the ref, niggling with players. There are many in here who call him out on the “dark arts” so no, it’s not a weird thing to say. Some people don’t like that kind of thing even when it’s their own players.

Bruno is awesome. Plays every game and gives absolutely everything. Even if he pisses us off with some stupid plays at times. Love him.get in - we are back. eth all the way
Cheer up, we won.
Exactly, he’s class and as an acknowledged “flare” player his work rate and defensive discipline is unreal.To the Bluemoon thread!Such a perfect day.
Pep made an arse of himself there. Then his whole team made arses of themselves after the final whistle
Way on top in the standard City sense - trying to keep the ball and suffocate the game rather than going for the second. Considering they should have been down at half time and didn't create anything else, they can't have too many complaints, Garnacho was tearing them apart on the left and we'd have scored anyway....what did I miss...Great win, great Saturday!
O boy! You missedCan't see why anyone would say that goal was offside, Rashford didn't touch it, he didn' interfere in the goal.
Think the fact Bruno appeared to score right next to him helped as well. It would barely have distracted the goalie.Was impressed with the referee all the way throughout. He wasn't giving fouls that players wanted for minor contact, and he kept his cards in his pocket for repeat fouling as long as they weren't too strong.
He wanted to let the teams decide that game by playing.
The Rashford "dummie" unfolded fast. He made the right call, to talk it over with the linesman, and let VAR overturn it if they saw fit. Which VAR didn't.
Toy paraphrase Toy Story: Rashford just "thought about it with style".
Yeah I think we deserved it. I just don't get how Rashford wasn't interfering with play. If he wasn't there the defender would have cleared it or the keeper would have been eyes on Bruno. Might still have scored but 50/50 at best.
Nice seeing City not getting a decision for once. They can go nuts as much as they want, it won't change anything, they are not used to it, so might do them more harm than good.
Which defender would have cleared it? If you took Rashford out of the equation as soon as the ball was played, Bruno was still quickest to react, and would have had the shot. By the time Rashford got to the ball, he was already stopping and getting out of Bruno's way.
Wasn't someone behind Rashford though? Kyle Walker maybe? They might have been able to get to the ball if Rashford wasn't satanding between the ball and him. I say might cos it was pretty marginal but he was definitrely shielding the ball and that's interfering surely?
Three points in the bag - thanks to me. If anyone has ETH's number, I suggest they text him and inform him of what I did here.What a win!!! Like Ferdinand said - I don't watch games thru my fingers anymore.
You were saying
That he’ll barely get a sniff
Yeah, Rashford's presence surely influenced Ederson? He even looked kind of surprised when Bruno shot. I probably don't fully understand what the rule is?WTF I dropped from 8 to 17 in the score prediction league. This despite picking utd as winners. I can’t believe so many people below me actually predicted a 2-1
Bet you’re buzzing after the result!
Nor did my fellow ikea shoppers
Erm, yeah?Weekends dont get much better than this one.
Excellent
Watching Tim Howard barely contain his bitterness on the post-match coverage equals another win. So tied of his biased commentary.- Status
