What a bullshit card. How is the premier league refereeing such a clown show
Because it’s not only tolerated, it’s encouraged.
There’s no accountability in the old boy’s club
Gabriel is an absolute monster
I don’t usually advocate for this, but… maybe Gabriel needs to have like 3 more kids. He has the most dad powerup energy I’ve ever seen in an Arsenal player.
HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!
HE’S FUCKING DONE IT AGAIN!!!
Fucking Raya is world-class now, I don’t care.
100%
Wow, that was Trossard’s first foul and that’s a yellow? And people try and claim that the Manchester bias isn’t real.
I mean the ref does have a side gig with citeh
I would be very unsurprised to learn that more than a few do.
Are you fucking kidding me?!
quite frankly Rodri is possibly the only player I think I actually wouldn’t feel an inch bad for if he gets an ACL.
Kyle Walker would be too
Nah, I’d feel bad. I’d also be happy cuz it gets him out of the England squad, but I’d feel bad.
Given how many injuries he’s inflicted upon other players, it seems like karma.
We’ve been clinical AF
So composed…a testament to their growth
Man Rodri needs to fuck off
He’s being so insufferable. Give him a yellow or sub him off if he’s injured that bad. Ffs
It’s like Porro the other week. Goes down and gets a bullshit yellow, grabs his leg four times afterwards and is never once treated or cautioned.
Time wasting too
good chance for Trossard there
Glad we’re still getting half chances. And if anyone can finish those, it’s Leo.
They shouldn’t even be allowed to have Savinho tbh the player is literally only there cuz of money laundering through multiclub bullshit.
In the end we should’ve done better
No shit, but I just genuinely hate Savio more than most of their team because he is the most obvious symptom of how they cheat and ruin football for other clubs, even those they fucking OWN.
If we investigated that, then I think you’ll find half of their roster shouldn’t be playing for similar reasons
but also, yes. their entire team shouldn’t be playing, lol. They should be in the fucking Northern Premier.
nah but they literally signed Savio from themselves. Troyes didn’t even get to have him at all and they got relegated for it. Twice, if it weren’t for Bordeaux shitting the bed harder.
Oh I get it. But one thing I’m really interested in seeing from the trial is how they funnel money to players and agents via back channels and sponsorships to obfuscate their transfer/wage numbers. Haaland certainly got paid this way.
I mean, they literally gave Pep’s brother a fucking football club.
THAT IS NEVER A SECOND YELLOW CARD, OLIVER YOU FUCKING DICKWIPE
Well, that’s changed the game.
tbf a draw is a fine result at the Etihad sans context but also fuck you refs
Honestly? Not in this position. We should have been able to hold on. If it weren’t for Oliver fucking us we probably score a third sometime in the second half and hold them at bay.
“sans context”
I mean I guess it depends on how much context you mean to ignore: there’s our injury context, suspension context, refereeing bullshit context, title challenge context, etc. But it’s true. In a vacuum, a fine result.
Oh now they’re saying it’s for kicking the ball away? Fuck off
It’s a rule just to help City at this point.
Yeah this is just match fixing at this point
