Haha. The bloke in the City top on the ground was the only minor casualty - because he and his mate bumped into each other when they were back-pedalling.

But a tip
Always make the batter the night before and leave in fridge
At the last minute just before putting into oven whisk an egg white making sure plenty of bubbles in mixture
It's as if their game against Swansea never happened.......I do believe we've found a rival to Liverpool for the poor little victims -
Manchester City’s Troubled History with VAR
The first incident occurred on 20 February 2019 when Manchester City traveled to Schalke for the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. During the match, full back Daniel Caligiuri danced at the top of the Manchester City box and unleashed a shot toward goal. His effort was blocked by City centreback Nicolás Otamendi and referee Carlos del Cerro Grande awarded Schalke a corner. After a review of the play via VAR, however, del Cerro Grande reversed his decision and awarded Schalke a penalty. According to VAR, the ball had struck Otamendi’s arm which was deemed to be in an unnatural position. City would go on to win the match 2-3, but many argued the Argentine could have done nothing to move his arm.
City would fall victim to another VAR decision just two months later in the second leg of the Champions League Quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur. Trailing 1-0 on aggregate, City knew they needed to come out strong. The Sky Blues would score an early goal, but Tottenham Hotspur then scored two goals in quick succession to take control of the tie. By the start of the second half, Manchester City were ahead 4-2 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate.
What transpired was the first of two unfavourable decisions against the club. During the 72 minute, Spurs won a corner. The ball was delivered into the box and striker Fernando Llorente sent the ball into City’s goal but replays showed he had handled the ball. To the surprise of many, VAR allowed the goal to stand and this led to a series of boos from the City supporters.
Minutes later, Manchester City believed they had won the game on aggregate in the 90+5 minute when City winger Raheem Sterling sent the ball past Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. To the dismay of the City fans, however, the goal was disallowed by VAR as Sergio Agüero was deemed to be offside. Some argued Christen Eriksen’s deflected backward pass should have played Agüero onside, but City lost on aggregate and were eliminated from the competition.
Bad move to quote it - you're next for the chop. Foul button pressed.Seems harsh to ban Baz because of this post
It's as if their game against Swansea never happened.......
Not a pen and 88th min winner was a yard offside.
First time I've heard anything positive said about Lamela's goal. In coms it was dominated by how undeserving we were to score. How shit Ederson's positioning was. How Lamela "didn't even get it into the corner of the goal".
Had De Bruyne scored that we wouldn't have heard the end of it, how he stroked it into the net whilst taking on and beating the entire midfield and forcing the defence to back off, whilst calmly picking his spot.
Indeed..... A mega rich club that is; whom happily flaunts the rules on the declared basis that they can comfortably financially outgun the authorities when it comes to legal representation in court.
The club and in turn the fans believe they're beyond reproach.
The one thing they can't buy and they're up in arms.

That’s the price you pay to keep your job when you spit at members of the public I guess. . .I know I'm an old fogey but I think Carragher looks really stupid with that thing on his head. Does he really need to make himself ridiculous to make his point?
