Obvious ref bias is shown there.

Probably won't, the VAR official has to find clear and decisive evidence of an incorrect decision. It'll be another human opinion.

Show me where I said that. I am arguing against a concious bias by the officials.

Do you believe that the PL officials are being directly instructed on which teams to favour, and how to swing matches to give the PL a pre-ordained outcome ?

Get back on message - we are being ROBBED by the officials. It's Premier League policy.

City showing how pressing is meant to be done.

Austin and Lemina hat-tricks ?

Given some of the comments on here, why don't we just ring the PL and tell them we forfeit the match 3-0, and let the players have an extra day's rest before Wednesday's game ?

Promises to the Board to play the youngsters ? Perhaps, having been told it's sell before you buy, he quickly worked out how little that was likely to actually raise, so the younger players are his only option for change.

And what is the last line ? "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". Pete Townshend said of the song "it screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause", and it's lyrics criticise both revolution and power.

It's in the EU.

If they are Tory mouthpieces, they are hardly independent.

No they are not, they are the mouthpieces of their owners, and their political allies.

You do seem to be a tad obsessed with the place. What's your take on Gatwick Airport being taken over by the French ?

Hasn't Gabbi been told he can leave ?

Oh, I agree about Carroll - should have got a straight red for the elbow, but the ref probably bottled it as he had just that minute come on. ( There was a bit in the commentary on the stream I watched where Andy Townsend said that Carroll's third touch in the game was his first contact with the ball ). But incompetence does not equate with 'robbery'.

Perhaps he feels his left side is weaker, so positions himself a couple of feet too far that way to compensate.

West Ham marked him out as the weak point in our defence, and going forward he just tried to copy Cedric, ( and in terms of his crossing, succeded ).

Possibly, but to claim we were 'robbed' implies deliberate action by the officials.

Not beaten by a better prepared and committed side ?

Pelegrini has won the PL, Ralph has managed 3 games. Perhaps experience counts.

Easy claim to make.

And our goal should probably have been disallowed for handball. Swings and roundabouts.

He is 19 years old.

Maybe the CBs shouldn't block his line of sight ?
