That ... Looked a penalty for city.
He kinda had to go through haaland to clear the ball

Should have been a penalty to City. The refs haven’t a fecking clue.

So you can get the player first now before the ball apparently. That was a penalty. Jesus Christ, the officiating gets worse.

Dreadfully boring and save football. I lost count how often Grealish passes backwards. Bring back the days of swashbuckling dribblers please

Also didn't realise from the major leagues in Europe, united are fifth highest scorers with 98 goals. That sorta seems odd given how meh we've been in front of goal

@padr81 is like @P-Ro in the NFL thread. Supports by far the best team in the league but also whinges the most about his team :lol:

The only acceptable use of var should be “is this a foul?”

Why anything else is even a consideration I have no idea. To save the referees pride?

That tackle in Haaland is about ten times more a foul than the one on Nunez.

Mad how bad VAR is at getting the correct decision

It’s the way football is now these weird perceptions. If a player clearly dives it’s “well it was clumsy” the game is broken.

City keeper did well there considering how he was crowded and was adamant he would clear his way to punch it clear

This city whu match is dead. Crowd sound dead, even the commentary team do. It just feels like an inevitable stroll to victory now

I said it in an earlier thread, but Webb has come in and made a bad process even worse. We’ve gone back to VAR barely making a decision or being reviewed, the bar is so high for fouls you may as well not have it

“West Ham growing in the game” shite passing that leads to a City counter.

35 in 31 is insane. Was those early hattricks that just set him up

The cyborg makes it two, kills the game and breaks the all time goal record in a PL season.
