Not true there are exceptions as you well know.

That's true. By "media" I meant Sky/TNT and to a lesser extent BBC with MOTD.

Carra loves a bit of "115 charges" banter when he's on American telly and then tows the "greatest team and coach of all time" line when he's on Sky. Bought and Paid for.

If we had more people like Miguel Delaney things would be totally different around tribalism etc IMO.

City probably would have won anyway but the referee has been appalling. Send him back to Australia.

Isn't that the guy who can't ref our games?

He's fucking shit.

What a shit league .

Deep down the city fans know it means fuck all . You can sense that from them.

"What a selection of talent he has though" Sky Sports. Come on lads. How do they do it all with a $traight fac€?

On the way to 4 titles in a row. Fun competitive league!

We’ve been near on perfect a few seasons and came short still. Arsenal have been on a pretty mad run the loss to Villa aside and will find themselves second to the cheats. All just a bit draining

Would be 7 in a row if it wasn’t for us. Thank God this lot ‘saved football’ a couple of times by popping us to the title.

Cynic in me thinks that if Man Utd had been prevented from winning titles by city and their 115 charges, the PL with pressure from sky would’ve acted a few years ago.  Just coincided with MU being shite.

I don't think that's cynical.  Everyone in football was delighted this city team beat us to the title and didn’t want to hear about the cheating.  Arsenal are gonna lose out on two titles because of it which will be less palatable.  But United being deprived of their birthright would be the final  straw. Although madly they would have one more in theory.

I always feel whoever starts for City it makes no difference. The likes of Alavrez, Doku, Bobb etc look like world beaters when they play and they were unknown quality before City signed them. It doesn't help that 90% of the league shit the bed when they play them.

Just seen the City highlights.

Would love us to score a deflected goal like Foden’s first.

Id like to just get their decisions to be honest. Absolute disgrace

This is why I can't blame the players or say if we'd done our job against x, y, z we'd have won the league.

We get fucked over every other week by referees. They get utterly scandalous decisions in their favour. With fair refereeing Arsenal and Abu Dhabi would have less points and we'd have more.

115 FC certainly get the majority.

Was it this year they won a penalty at Goodison by surrounding the ref ?

The foul given was hilarious too.

Although I think that’s a problem with the refs in general. Players fall down under minimal contact (look at our game against Everton) and the refs are constantly blowing for a foul

Officiating in this country is on its arse.

Hopper was ignoring Klopp on sideline on Wednesday. This arrogance only makes it worse.
