Love the contrarians coming in to say no penalty. Liverpool got 2 that much less contact than that. You could even see Zimchenco saying “phew, got away with that one”.

Both Liverpool penalties yesterday were less clear cut than that and ref boy there didn’t hesitate either time and pointed to the spot. Because it’s Saints you can see the cogs turning. Hmm, that’d give them the lead, City have lost 2 on the bounce, City a big rich club. Best be safe and just say no pen. If I’m wrong, it’s only Southampton, who’s going to care. Yep, definitely no pen!

We’re **** enough without refs bottling the big decisions that they’d be making without a second thought for the big teams. It’s cheating, plain and simple. This league ****ing stinks. Cheats!

Of course. Thanks refs! ****ing cheats!

Wow. Way more of a penalty than the one on Salah yesterday. Bent refs.

All set up for the Sterling curler winner in 90+8 then...

Lol. I was screaming at him to pass. Bang! Goal! Lol

****mg great goal!!

We’re doing a lot better than I imagined that lineup would do. Ralph is having to learn quickly. He put all his eggs in the WHU basket, the gamble didn’t work. This is his attempt to get his best 11 out vs Chelsea. Hojjjjjjjjj

Arrgghh. How’d that stay out? Edit: great save

Wow. That thrown in. Terrible!

No that is passing! Ballsy by City there but the break and Mahrez misses.

I thought they worked on passing. Stephens straight to a City player.

Back to 3 CBs.

I like that he’s taking a hard line with the billy big balls players and I don’t know what has gone on behind closed doors but I absolutely hope freezing out Hoedt, Cedric etc doesn’t come back to haunt us.

Great ball Ely. Ffs Austin!

Bednarek showed excellent strength to get ball and then puts it right up the middle to a City player. Footballers really are a bit thick.

Oh Stephens! That should have been 1-0 City.

JWP looked furthest forward when we got the ball and looked to break there.

This is nothing more than training match for Ralfie to assess players and a formation.

We’re going to get royally dicked! Hopefully we can offload a few and get in some Ralph signings in January.

Seems like the ones outside the matchday squad ate the ones we’ll have an easier (relatively) time unloading. Some teams will roll the dice on Hoedt, Cedric and Gabbi if the price is right. JWP is a funny one, extremely highly rated but as we know it’s unfounded since he rarely delivers anything. Some club could be tricked into thinking they’re getting the best dead ball striker in the Premier League.

It’s ****ing annoying. For us it almost always has to be a stone waller and even then we don’t always get them. Then I see the big clubs getting really weak ones (like the 2 Liverpool got today) and it’s galling. We are **** enough without having any more disadvantages.

Adds to the futility of being a small club in the Premier. Even if we could spend like the Man Citys, we rarely get decisions like that (yes I know Redmond handled the goal the other night).

5-1. Wish we got those kind of decisions.
