Stealing from fans.

Literally stealing time from the people who pay huge sums to watch the sport.

This is what annoys me about the "lets just play 35mins and use a stopwatch" solution.....

No; like many other scenarios, we need proper officiating and consistent enforcement..... Not to bend to the will of the shit-housing.

We were actually very well set up to defend the corner they scored from, (I only logged in here yesterday since the NLD as I thought it best avoid the usual lunatics in here, so I bet the corner has been done to death with Romero taking all the blame accused by people that have never defended a corner in their life no doubt too) BUT very quickly I want to note that the failure to defend their corner was the fault of Benancur and Solonke who were their marking zonally, the zone in which the ball was aimed at for Gabriel to run into, BOTH of them got under the ball and didn't clear it. (It's almost impossible to man-mark a running into the box on corners as you are always reacting and therefore always never positioned correctly).

As you say City were really bad shape, they tried to do a similar thing to us half the team zonal the other half man mark (I think the man marking is for our bigger guys to man mark their big guys??) but City's zonal players are nowhere to be seen because they get sucked into the back post runners of the scum, it left a huge hole at the back post on the goal line. Our zonal players remained in their zones, they just fucked up the clearance.

The failure was actually giving away the corner in the first place saying it came from an attacking one of ours! They should never have got down the other end of the pitch so quickly.

I believe this was pre-yesterday as well
 
Cheating fuckers. And don't tell me they didn't set out to knock City's best player out of the match, that was obvious 5 seconds in. I'm sure they didn't necessarily aim to injure him severely and knock him out of the season, but... I'm sure they are not broken up about it either.

And rest assured, the principle narrative from them and their sympathizers in the media will continue to be that they are victims, unfairly targeted by refs with cards for kicking the ball away, etc.
 
Again Lego head heaping pressure on the officials after the game in his interview, as always there will be no punishment
He's overdone it over past couple of years. I think the refs see through his bullshit now and must actively dislike him, he keeps questioning integrity of the league officials over and over again. The two reds recently is a good start and I hope there's more to come their way.
 

That’s huge no Rodri for the season. City just pipped Woolwich with him. Looking like Woolwich's title . Going to be tough for city to keep getting up for the battle when they have won it so much. Where as Woolwich are desperate for it. Hope I am wrong 3 years running!

Not convinced by them at all.

Bit rich because they just rope a doped us but they are stealing results. Really really hard to do that all season and they aren’t showing any signs of being able to play any other way.
 
They get away with it because of weak refereeing. Officiate by the book and they’ll never finish a game with 11 men.

Raya should have been given 9 yellows for blatant time wasting.

Not in the spirit of the game, not good to watch which means it’s not good for the PL and it’s straight up cheating.

Every fucking year you and ya boys anoint the scum as champions earlier and earlier.....
 
This poor me, poor us crap just watch from now on every 50/50 will go their way , referees will be pressured in to letting decisions go their way…

We say that every year & it’s just through small margins city nick it. Son should have won it for them last season really. Be hard for city to keep nicking it with a weaker team & reduced spending. Plus you would think less motivated & hungry. But city nicked it last years so fingers crossed!
With city probably getting a points deduction & processing closer to going it’s only a matter of time really . But longer it’s delayed of better!
 

The amount of shit they gave Newcastle a year or two ago. Always painted themselves as saints of the game, yet they're worse than anyone else, in every metric. They really are truly detestable.

It's like they're in a cult, their team does no wrong, they're always hard done by, the league is out to get them etc. Showing their arse every chance they get. Embarrassing shit fucking cunts.

I've been saying this for a couple of years. Just stop the clock. Effective playing time. Today most games are around 2x30 minutes. But I wouldn't mind 2x35. When is no use delaying there will be less delays so I guess 2x35 will make the games about as long as today.

Best thing, everybody knows when the game is ending, not just one stubborn idiot with a wish to decide games by waiting to end the game until "this attack" is over.
