Match Reaction vs Man City (away).

[Xhaka Can’t]

I empathise with how he felt. But yeah, he has to control his emotions better.

[Ollie the Optimist]

stupid from Jack to do that and get himself banned. he's a world class talent but he just needs to control himself at times. i love his passion etc but he just took it a step too far this time.

however, you don't lose 6-3 and claim to be unlucky, if you concede 6, its pretty certain that you deserve to lose but seeing some of those decisions, you have to wonder when the FA will actually stand up and hold referees accountable for their mistakes?

Ozil
Awlful imaginary stats.

But slightly underwhelming so far nonetheless.

[Penguin]

At least we know he wont be playing on the wing against Chelsea

What about the paid officials that make stupid decisions and frustrate the hell out of players?

Why aren't they being held accountable for their gross incompetence and blatant acts of corruption? They are not volunteers, so why no accountability on their part?

What about the corrupt cunts like Blatter who ru(i)n the game? The whole thing is a loony bin. The fans can scream all sorts of obscenities, the authorities can fill their pockets with all sorts of obscene dodgy dealings, the agents can charge obscene amounts for unsettling players, as stated, the refs and linesmen (who for me have crossed the line from incompetence to outright cheating) are the very definition of obscene.

So it's only right and proper that Jack should be banned for sticking a finger in the air. If we can clean up just this one area of football and make a big deal of it then it'll be that much easier to brush the rest of it under the carpet. Obscene gesture - LOL. It was a token gesture in a sea of obscenities, a teacup in a storm.

By the way, why hasn't he been let off? He's a GHEL is he not? Also, what happened to the "not that type of player" defence? Do you have to break somebody's leg before you can use that one?

But I suppose such a heinous crime against humanity (city gypos?) needs to be stamped on as hard as the untouchable Rooney stamps on his opponents. I suppose the game will be better if this sort of behaviour is kicked out, like Rooney kicks out at his opponents in such a way that only the authorities cannot see him. Rules are rules and it would be wrong to make exceptions, considering crowd safety is an issue here.

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has escaped with a suspended two-match ban and a £25,000 fine for his goal celebration in front of Arsenal supporters, after the FA decided he was severely provoked. Adebayor, for whom the fine is equivalent to a day’s wages, sprinted 90 yards before sliding on his knees in front of Arsenal’s travelling fans after scoring a header in City’s 4-2 win last month.

I trust the authorities to do the right thing and dispense justice in a fair and balanced manner - LOL.

I agree that if you concede 6, you deserve to lose. But if a ref takes away 3 goals (2 offsides, 1 pen) from one team in a game, you should lose your job. The linesman who gave city their offside goal and took away 2 non-offside goals away from us, should seriously be sacked and investigated for matchfixing, i'll give you that you can make a mistake once in awhile, but 3 big mistakes in one game? I would get sacked if did that at my job.

[Bumble]

Bendtner was just offside and I know we would be fuming if we conceded a penalty like. Didn't it bounce up off his thigh onto arm.

If people get so angry about officials agents blatter other fans players. Think they need to watch another sport. Football is only a game.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Corruption in Seria A, La Liga and Ligue 1. FACT.

Corruption in English lower league football. FACT.

And people think there isn't corruption in the premier league

Yeah, but that comes with the territory when you're a heart surgeon.

But slightly underwhelming so far nonetheless.

4 goals and 7 assists in 13 league games.

It's not bad for a player settling in to a new team and league although I accept in some games he's been a bit anonymous
