Must mean diving then...Sterling doesn’t play anything like either Ronaldo, young or otherwise.

Ever heard of the youth academy? And I am not even a fan of the obsession over youth players normally ffs.Tweet

How I love this kind of cliches.I think Rashford and Martial under Pep would develop much more as attacking players the way Pep made Sterling play like a young Ronaldo.
Mourinho’s defensive approach is an obstacle to offensive players.
Club standing up for its own interest shocker. Who cares really.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43010230
Just unreal. 5-6 bad tackles in an entire season and again they start acting like they are the first team ever. I can actually imagine the meeting.
"We want to win the quadruple, part one was to spend like a sex tourist, part two is, you know, ask you guys to ask players to stop tackling us."
'Butchered' sums it up for me. Their manager and players are behaving like posters on a football forum
I'm not even going ask what it is I "think works." This is a forum, the above is my take on their latest victimhood, and it's not as simple as standing up for own interest otherwise you'd have clubs doing the same every week.Club standing up for its own interest shocker. Who cares really.
Or you thinking this works?
I'm sorry that came across a bit confrontative. I'm just as annoyed by it just thought that I'd share trusted practice on how to deal with it. Apologies.I'm not even going ask what it is I "think works."

It's got to the point were you have to just laugh, they are pathetic.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43010230

Embarrassing. But they know the league will bend over for them so probably worth a punt.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43010230

They basically want as much help as possible to win the quadruple. I hope the referee association tell them to feck off about a meeting.Embarrassing. But they know the league will bend over for them so probably worth a punt.
Actually Alli's was probably the worst, not Puncheons. Kanes too but that looked unintentional.They basically want as much help as possible to win the quadruple. I hope the referee association tell them to feck off about a meeting.
The worst challenge was done by a championship player on Sané. Granted he should have been red carded.
The only other one was Pucheon on KDB but even that was plown out of proportion. He scissor kicked him either side of his legs. It’s not like he studded straight into De Bruyne’s foot.
And anyway Man City have had their fair share of tactical fouls this season. Just enough to interrupt play but don’t warrant cards. Happens time and time again with teams managed by Pep.
Oh what an obstacle Jose has been for Lingard.I think Rashford and Martial under Pep would develop much more as attacking players the way Pep made Sterling play like a young Ronaldo.

To suggest football fans only discuss the concept of 'tactical fouls' after mourinhos comments is pretty petty and categorically not true.Actually Alli's was probably the worst, not Puncheons. Kanes too but that looked unintentional.
Tactical fouls (something you never ever said till Jose told you to say so, just like he's convinced you guys you gave him a squad on a par with Southmapton) aren't a risk to player health and safety.
What does the overall amount have to do with the amount of potential leg breakers we've been hit with?This is absolutely ridiculous. They are the 12th most fouled team in the PL and only 7 clubs have had more bookings. They commit their fair share of fouls too so I don't understand the double standards.
You mean the Alli and Cardiff challenges? Both bad challenges but Alli is a dirty cnut period.What does the overall amount have to do with the amount of potential leg breakers we've been hit with?
You hadn't heard of the term before Mourinho said it?Actually Alli's was probably the worst, not Puncheons. Kanes too but that looked unintentional.

Every tackle is a 'potential leg breaker' so if you're taking issue with something or becoming indignant , a more specific complaint would help your argument. The fact is many people don't agree that some of the so called butchering city has been on the end of has been all that bad.What does the overall amount have to do with the amount of potential leg breakers we've been hit with?
Fernandinho is a nasty lil fecker and has gotten away with it couple of times at least. That stamp a couple of games back was horrible. Did he get anything in retrospect for it?Actually Alli's was probably the worst, not Puncheons. Kanes too but that looked unintentional.

Hardly, Italy have been tactical fouling since the inception of football.Actually Alli's was probably the worst, not Puncheons. Kanes too but that looked unintentional.

If you really think they're not just looking out for their own interests then you're a bit naive. Why have they not involved other clubs in this 'meeting'? They are going to say it's not just about them aren't they? And it's not as if they're free from blame either with Aguero...and who could forget that Thatcher sickener, though it was some time back. They should just shut the feck up and get on with it.I wish people would read things properly. They have openly said this isn't a one club issue and it is something meant to benefit all.
It's all about the re-refereeing of games and giving suitable punishment if it deserves it. It isn't just City who have been on the end of some shockers, although there have been some absolute horrors in the past couple of months that have only been given a yellow card. I look at the Alli one on Sanchez as something that would be looked at. For me that was a red card but instead the referee gives a yellow and then it can't be reviewed. Rubbish rule that needs changing for the better.
You honestly need to stop being clouded by rivalries and look at the bigger picture. Tackles are part of the game. Fouls that go beyond the reasonable limit aren't and never have been, regardless of your Vinnie Jones examples etc.
You've just brought up two occasions that have no place in this argument.If you really think they're not just looking out for their own interests then you're a bit naive.

So they're doing it on behalf of 91 other clubs that haven't been complaining? Guardiolas constant referencing it from city's point of viewand his players hyperbolic interviews- those things didn't happen?I wish people would read things properly. They have openly said this isn't a one club issue and it is something meant to benefit all.

To be fair to him, he is not talking about stamps. so i don't understand your point here. \sWonder what Guardiola thinks of this tackle because didn't see him moan about this.
The Fernandinho red cards were last year but again you're missing the point. Those tackles were given the correct red card punishment. The tackles City have faced, have all been given yellow cards or less.Absolute joke. Fernadinho has been sent off twice this season for horror tackles, add that to his stamp last week and he makes up nearly half as many of the bad tackles City are complaining about?!
Until they bin off Fernandinho and Ageuro (another guilty of horror tackles) they don't have a leg to stand on (no pun etc)
Nothing in that, though if it's in the context some people seem to say it is, it's just another hypocrisy from saint pep, who not months ago was saying how he would never ever ever disrespect another coach.

How is letting his players stamp others go with his protect all players strategy was my point.To be fair to him, he is not talking about stamps. so i don't understand your point here. \s
I agree, it was a sarcastic comment .How is letting his players stamp others go with his protect all players strategy was my point.
You're living in cuckoo land. Regardless of whether they were sent off, banned, whatever, doesn't alter the fact that City players have been just as dirty as the the ones they're accusing this season. The tackles have been dangerous, potentially injuring players and affecting team operations. That's the bigger picture....not the issue around whether players are carded are not. It's funny how it's only become an issue now that they have a chance of winning something.You've just brought up two occasions that have no place in this argument.
Aguero was sent off and Thatcher was given an 8 match ban after receiving only a yellow card.
They are talking about occasions when a yellow card is given and then can't be revisited.
