I don't believe that alot of players do any thinking.

Haha, case in point…

Some of the defending in this division is comical. What was he thinking?

Out of the mouths of babes

How far back in Ref blunders do we go? ROI v France for a place in the WC? 1966 ball over the line or Forest v Burnley this season? The problem in my eyes is when do we reset and how to we simplify the rules to make decisions easier e.g make offside when there is a clear gap between the two players...

It's true that Sheff Utd could have been 2 or 3-0 up at half time, but that would have meant them scoring all of their chances and us missing all of ours. That's not how football works. The McBurnie chance that Muric saved with his feet really should have been scored, but I don't think any of their ...

I don’t see the clamour for ex-pro’s, they often don’t know the laws. I don’t know the answer to the poor quality of referees in this country, but as far as VAR is concerned, it should be manned by specialist video referee’s, not the on-field ref’s mate who’s being given a rest-day. Being a VAR requ...

Exactly my thoughts. Unless Cov opted to shoot second which would be very strange.

Do they not do two coin tosses for penalty shoot outs? One to determine the end of the pitch and another to determine who takes first?

Rileybobs

Oh well. Wouldn’t have been nice for our big rivals Coventry to reach the final anyway.

Rileybobs

Let’s face it, nobody would be complaining about VAR here if it had disallowed a Man Utd goal.

Rileybobs

VAR is rubbish, but so is losing a cup semi final to an offside goal.

Rileybobs

United nailed on to win on pens.

Rileybobs

Bugger.

Rileybobs

Don’t be offside.

Rileybobs

Hahahahahha. Top banter.

If United turn up like this against us and we play like we have been doing we will body them - especially in midfield.

We’ll get chances. Absolutely vital we don’t gift them a goal. They’re wide open to the counter attack if we’re clever.

Rileybobs

Hilarious. United are an absolute shambles of a team. We should be going to OT to turn them over next weekend.

Rileybobs

This would be comical.

Rileybobs

I phoned the ticket office on the morning of the seat swap period opening last spring/summer and got it sorted in less than 5 mins.

Rileybobs

Coventry have been absolutely rubbish.

Rileybobs

Anything but an Everton win is bad for us.

Rileybobs

We should have got something against United last time, and we’re now putting in better performances. No reason we can’t get something there if we avoid silly mistakes. Haven’t they conceded the most shots in the league other than Sheff Utd? I’m pretty sure the damage has been done but it’s nice to f...

What about fans of the top six clubs though? Do they deserve for their club to be taken out of the domestic pyramid and into a European super league?

Rileybobs

Data protection innit

Rileybobs

Curtains. Poor for City to not put this to bed over the 3.5 hours.

Rileybobs

That’s what going down the middle looks like when the keeper doesn’t move. No idea why the comms were so bemused.

Rileybobs

Got to be a Real win hasn’t it…

He’s definitely changed the game.

Yeah they were lacking directness for the first hour. As good as Grealish is he can be a bit like a crab which isn’t the most effective against a team with every player behind the ball.

Do away goals not count

Yes, but only the same as home goals.

City gonna lose on pens.

That Dutch bloke for city is not bad.

Nathan Ake is on the bench.

I'm sure they are in it to make money and that's a significant motivation. I'd hope that they are also bright enough to realise that the best way of making money is for the club to be successful. In terms of some of the smaller "co-owners" I suspect a reasonable chunk of motivation there is being p...

A pint of fosters at the Royal Dyche?

I don’t think Mormons drink, but Fosters is probably weak enough to be exempt.

Rileybobs

I think City need Doku on here. It’s too one-dimensional at the minute.

Rileybobs

Obviously they’re not going to come out and say it. But in all the interviews Alan & JJ (plus Ball, Williams, etc) have done, the documentary, the shows JJ has done, the social media content, etc etc - nothing has given any suggestion that profit is front and centre of their minds. They certainly h...

The standard on show in the Man City v Real Madrid game is immense. City being the most proactive but look very vulnerable at the back. Madrid have a very clever game plan and I can see them scoring again before the night is out.

Rileybobs

I disagree there in the sense I have not seen or heard anything from ALK that discusses them profiting from Burnley as their primary objective. I’ll say this for absolute certain and hopefully it’s a perspective you will consider in this assessment: There are thousands of ways to make money more ea...

The Premier League have just reduced tonight’s result to 2-0.

Not sure City have any issues with PSR though? And if they did, sure they could e found another way of satisfying it without selling one of the English footballs best talents. I’m not entirely sure where Man City stand in regards to PSR, but selling Palmer was more financially beneficial than selli...

If they sack Dyche after this I hope Kompany gets on the phone to Billy Mercer.

I don’t think Billy Mercer will have the authority to appoint Kompany.

But none of them were fouls, were they?

No, but two nearly fouls equals a foul, doesn’t it?

Why has the penalty been given?

I think it was given for a culmination of penalty appeals. The ref clearly gave it for the second and took his chances that one of the challenges was a foul.

Rileybobs

What a bunch of babies.

What the hell has he given this for?

Rileybobs

As gutting as it is for us to hear we were close to getting him on loan for a season, just imagine how bad it is for City fans imagining Palmer / Foden being their future. Huge error from Pep. Was he not sold because he’s a home grown player so therefore his entire transfer fee counts as a profit a...
