You do what you need to to get points.

Well, if that is the way football goes and you end up seeing that week in, week out, that would be the end for me, unfortunately. I would be done.

Players all falling to the floor with pretend cramp, to try and kill a game, isn't football.

I hope this stays a rarity.

Don’t mind if teams park the bus as although it’s generally shit to watch, it’s still a legitimate and fair part of the game. On the other hand rolling around and feigning injury is plain cheating and needs be stamped out ASAP.

Yup. Park the bus is like a game of chess.

Feigning injury and time wasting and falling to the floor and pretending you have cramp, is a whole new level.

One is a tactical move. The other is cheating.

Its already like that.

I'm not saying it's right but when we have teams doing it against us every week and getting away with it, we need to start doing it.

I sincerely hope not. City supporter or not, that would drive me away from football, if it became the norm week in week out.

How many players went down with "cramp" on Sunday?

It was embarrassing.

They were defending magnificently. That deserves praise. The rest of the nonsense should be rightly condemned.

You always get a bit of time-wasting. That's down to the refs and the official bodies to sort out.

Players dropping to the floor to fake cramps, I find pathetic.

I would have been thoroughly embarrassed as an Arsenal fan, watching that. It spoilt a fabulous rearguard defensive effort from the team

Justice was done with the City equaliser that. So glad Arsenal didnt prosper with that level of cheating.

They only need to do it once tbf and they've already got the advantage, I'm not certain Man City are immune to this but we definitely are and it stinks that MR is not lauded for this and supported by the authorities in tackling it head on!

Could the players not have had cramp?

 

[Otis]

Outbreak of multi-cramp.

Let's be honest, they didn't do much running in that second half did they. They just grouped themselves in and on the edge of their own box and formed a blockade.

Not saying they were all faked, but you can be bound sure 90% of them were.

What a load of nonsense. Happy City scored because of Arsenals cheating is hilarious.
I'd be cheering for the likes of Arsenal over City whatever the tactics, clubs like City have damaged the sport beyond all repair.

WE ARE CITY!!!

It doesn't get us points though.

Saw an amazing stat about Michal Oliver and Man City. He has reffed them 47 and never sent a City player off and awarded less yellow cards to them compared to all other top 8 teams he has reffed.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It sounds amazing but Man City won’t have many players sent off at all.

1 in 21/22
1 in 22/23
2 in 23/24

Talking about that one individual game, Tom, so it's not nonsense at all.

Just based on Arsenal's shit house tactics and feigning injury on Sunday.

Nothing at all to do with Man City outside of this one, single game. The other stuff is a different issue entirely.

Tripper has one puma boot and one adidas boot.
Never seen a player mix and match brands

 

[Nick]

Did he even touch Gordon?

 

[San Francisco]

What a player Cole Palmer is. First player in PL history to score 4 goals in the first half.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

That clogger Morsy at Ipswich booked for persistent fouling he was getting away with that last year but no more.

Wouldn't mind him in our midfield right now though

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

It’s the level he should be at he’s nowhere near top level quality.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Morsy has got away with one there next foul he is gone.

 

[clint van damme]

It’s the level he should be at he’s nowhere near top level quality.

He'll be off if he carries on. Think McKenna will hook him

 

[David O'Day]

He'll be off if he carries on. Think McKenna will hook him

That should of been the 2nd yellow

 

[Nick]

That should of been the 2nd yellow

Ref has bottled it. Again.

Second bookings must just be for kicking the ball away now.

 

[Blind-Faith]

How is Morsy still on the pitch? That’s three yellows he should of had now

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Moray was booked and then made two fouls that were both yellows at least l, Attwell is really poor.

 

[Nick]

Decent goal but they should be down to 10 men.

Shocking refereeing.

 

[Nick]

How wasn't that a booking for that challenge? If was right in front on him.

Oh he did eventually

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

So attwell can’t see a foul in front of his nose but can see the ball isn’t in the corner quadrant from about forty yards away

 

[Nick]

So attwell can’t see a foul in front of his nose but can see the ball isn’t in the corner quadrant from about forty years away

He was happy with it even though the player moved it 1mm and back again.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I am surprised Morsy didn’t kick all the Villa players on the way off.

 

[Nick]

The officiating is fucking terrible.

 

[Nick]

I'm guessing they have a bet on Ipswich.

Not sure how they gave a corner then. Var trying to find something

 

[Evo1883]

Criminal defending by United but especially dalot

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Spurs 1 up in 3 minutes please hammer them.
