    If it's at the Eithad, City get that all day.

    One of those that probably is, but ref will bottle it. Especially didn't help that we went up and scored.

    That applies to the attacking side only.

    I don't know why Pep is seething. Someone needs to tell him about the First Rule.

    City's defence is just crap but most teams would be with half of them out. Crap tactics again though from Guardiola. No pragmatism.

    Pep didn't do a lot to change that game. Granted City played well, but nothing changed, even after the third goal.

    Haha.

    Cry me a river City. Kompany should have been sent off in the game at their place last season (pretty much by his own admission) at 0-0 and that decided the season. You get them at home.

    Not really sure how that Arnold one works with the new (insane) handball rule anyway. Silva's allowed to handball it 'accidentally' and win a penalty, but had a goal resulted (which is pretty much what a penalty is) then it's not allowed? There was literally no way to VAR that Fabinho goal away.

    1.38 v 1.48 on the xG.

    Hopefully Liverpool win every game now so United go down as having ruined a perfect season.

    He makes the wrong assumption that getting correct decisions should be the aim. The aim should be to make football a more enjoyable experience for everyone. In VAR's case that might mean ironing out some of the clear injustices that were pissing people off before. That is not the same as getting every decision correct.

    It should be like a nightclub bouncer, only becoming involved if absolutely necessary.

    In that case they shouldn't have it at all.

    The best nightclubs are the ones where the bouncer turns away half the people so i don’t know how well that analogy works

    I'm not exactly on home territory in the nightclub field, it must be said, but you have to leave your analogy comfort zone sometimes.

    To be fair, bouncers only have turn people away once a club has become too popular and it's necessary to preserve the culture of the club. The actual best clubs are relatively unknown so there's no need to turn away the dickheads because they haven't found out about it yet. Thus, I think Jimmy's analogy is okay.

    Speaking of someone on here said something about clubs that don't exclusively play reggaeton or rap music and I got very confused because that's literally the only clubs we have here.

    I've thought about this for several days.

    "The 24-year-old is England's most creative player and has been spoken of as a future captain because of the leadership skills he has developed over the past few seasons, a notion encouraged by Southgate."

    A new FEC?

    Apparently the whole squad agreed on it.

    People lose their shit when Liverpool are top of the league.
