Absolutely spot on. The reaction if it was Manchester United would be so so different. City fans defending players would be spitting saliva all over the place and defending poor Wigan fans.

Skysports is in full motion to portray a defeat as a victory. Apparently league cup victory will be a catalyst for City success and losing to Wigan will help them in focusing on going for the treble.
Media love for City and Pep is making me sick.

I really want to sing 'Where's your treble gone?' on Sunday.
Swansea beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the replay. Tottenham play Rochdale today, instead.
I saw a few minutes of the Swansea game - no crowd as far as I could tell. It had that empty stadium vibe that you get when youth team matches get played in a full size stadium.
Spurs vs VAR
What in Bonaparte's balls has VAR given there? 
What the hell was that disallowed for? If anything, Llorente was fouled. fecking VAR 
That was a shocker of a decision.
Oh dear.
This VAR just needs to end. It’s a joke
What an absolute pathetic decision that was! Nothing wrong with that goal.
VAR...
I can't believe I'm in agreement with Robbie Savage. Ridiculous decision. If this is how VAR is going to be they can feck right off.
Agree with Savage that “clear and obvious” should sit at the heart of VAR, otherwise it’ll become a joke.
That angle just now shows Llorente pulling the defender but it was six of one half a dozen of the other. Could have as easily been a penalty.
Spurs got robbed there. Would be furious if that would be used against us.
VAR strikes again.
This shite isn't even making correct decisions to start with.

I really didn't think they'd feck VAR up this badly.
Baffling decision, VAR having another day to forget. I was for it and still am but it's been a bit of a shambles.
Relax, it went against Spurs!
Yeah. The Mata disallowed goal was a bit of a farce with the wobbly lines and even when the actual lines were shown it wasn't that clear cut. I'd say the same for anyone that if it isn't clear cut to give the benefit to the attacker - like has been the case before VAR.
Now VAR seems to be used for everything and teams can't properly celebrate a goal anymore.
Poch unhappy that his newest diver didn’t get a pen.
That was a terrible dive
Too much quality from Son. Game over
Dive? You could argue that it wasn't a pen because he wasn't gonna reach the ball, but was a clear obstruction.
@GifLord any chance of a gif of that var incident?
Only been 20 mins. If Spurs get a second, yeah it is game over.
Another ridiculous hold up! That was not a foul
Oh FFS! Pathetic
VAR used incorrectly again
this is fecking ridiculous
what the feck is going on, was never a penalty
Just get rid of it, it’s horrendous. This is one of the most horrendous ref displays I’ve ever seen and VAR is absoulutly ruining the game. Huh, isn’t it just a retake?
This is getting absolutely ridiculous. The foul was clearly outside the box. Madness.
Ridiculous, clearly the infringement started well outside the box.
How the hell did they get a penalty ? the foul began outside the area ?
This game. They're reviewing the penalty take which was also reviewed before it was taken.
They're reviewing the penalty take which was also reviewed before it was taken.What a joke of officiating
ffswhat the shit is going on
Where are the VAR fans now, it simply won't work in the current set up. Only way VAR will work is if the VAR guy is the official ref, and the on the pitch ref is simply a runner. Absolute joke at the moment.
