The common rebuttal has always been “would you want to hear from the ref if we’ve had a boring game?” Which basically goes back to them really only being asked to justify bad calls.

Instead they should just live broadcast all VAR communications on TV (I don’t think it’d be practical to do in the stadium), that way every decision has context and nothing can be hidden.

I think it’s fair to say we deserve accountability, not justification.

There’s no such thing as “under the radar” when you’re talking about a club with the most obnoxious fan base and who control half of the football media.

Time to get Saka, Jesus & Ødegaard into the ice bath.

City lost all 3 matches of Rodri’s ban. They’re almost certainly a Rodri injury away from not winning the league.

Buddy, we’re top of the league with a broken Thomas Partey. City LOST all 3 matches Rodri was suspended for.

It’s not nice

Are you suggesting they sign an 81 year man who retired 10 years ago and had emergency surgery on his brain 5 years ago?

The only rivalry you’ll have with Fergie is a competition in not drooling on yourself.

Uhh there wasn’t anything for VAR to check?

I loved Harry Kane scoring 400 goals a season for Spurs and still ending the season with a look on his face of “what the fuck else can I do?”

Definitely interpreting this as Trossard at 8, despite fotmob’s initial shenanigans

I was gonna put $1k on City last season while we were top to hedge the pain

Yes, Arteta’s behaviour makes us more likely to get decisions. What the fuck kind of nonsense is that?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

My captain 😍

2, 5, 12, 13, 17.

Those absolutely slay. Good work.

Cheers 🍻

Two of those 3 players weren’t even on the pitch long enough to get a touch before the shootout, are you brain dead?

Messi & Ronaldo both missed penalties in the semi final that season.

The whole Messi fan/Ronaldo fan polarisation thing is the quickest way to let everyone know you’re a fuckwit.

My best guess would be it’d be electric but mostly friendly. Some friends of mine did Gamba away as Melb Victory fans in the ACL and said it was incredibly passionate and loud, security were fantastic and the whole experience was very enjoyable.

I think any time you have a chance to attend a football match in a new country you should. The Japanese love their football and are an AFC powerhouse, so this one would be a no brainer for me.

If anything he’d just be injured even more because of the higher physical demands
