Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[Darth Toffeeman]

Then we all watch football for the wrong reasons. City are a plastic scumbag of a club owned by a family that abuses people to gain their riches, it's been shown they cooked the book to get a massive financial boost yet nothing has been done about it. They are everything every fan of a traditional club should hate, they represent nothing but money, same as PSG.

We all know how dirty the rats are across the park and people like to crow about their glorious history whilst leaving out the horrendous parts. We get to see more than most the lows they will go to, to defend events of the past. BUT People don't mind City winning the league because they are nothing but what you should never ever do is like them. [Poor language removed] them, [Poor language removed] the scumbags who own them and [Poor language removed] whoever it is that let's them sponsor themselves to enable the crazy spending.

Money in football is vile right across the board. The once beautiful game is nothing more than a sick, financially doped monster for big corporations and gambling.

That goes for all clubs competing in the big leagues.

Every club on this planet would get my support ahead of the RS though. That is just a given.

Yet despite that, most neutrals would rather see them win it than a much more detestable team. Imagine that.

I live in Manchester and my local team are Man United, who I despise. I don't like the fact City bought their way to the top, but I'd rather have them win the league than Liverpool.

Tbh all Big 6 teams are rotten to the core except Spurs.

Which is totally understandable and fair enough. They are certainly the lesser of two evils when it comes to the league but I think people overlook what goes on at City because they play great football. Their owners are pretty much modern day slavers but nobody is arsed because Pep is a great manager and Sterling is having the season of his life. It's just really weird. I'm not for one minute suggesting ANYBODY should be ok will that lot winning the league, it would be unbearable for years just saying nobody should be declaring they like City.

Football is mad though.

You're right on both points, (RS and it all being about money) but it feels like some clubs have earned their way to the top through hard work, great manager appointments, smart recruitment and amazing marketing like Man Utd for example. City have gone from Shaun Goater to having one of the greatest squads ever assembled.

It will be interesting how the manner of that defeat tonight effects City for the next few games.

Dont think it will. They still won the game tonight if not the tie..
That is all they need to do

 

[mmmmsnouts]

So why was that disallowed then?

Because it bounced off Silva before Aguero played it. That put the offside rule back on. The only way that goal could have stood is if Eriksen passed it and Aguero got there first.

City have had injuries to deal with. How the hell do Liverpool manage not to have any of their squad injured?

They have oxlade Chamberlain out all season. Gomez too for a long time.

Spurs v Barcelona final.

Unreal.

You just said a deflection doesn't change whether it is offside/onside? That was a deflection and not a deliberate pass through to him.

I liked Koeman and have stuck up for him lots of times but he knows full well what he's doing there. He really was not the slightest bit arsed about the club or supporters which is a shame, the "Once Everton has touched you" mantra definitely didn't apply in that case.

Because soccer is a 'sport' like WWE wrestling these days.

And how can you say llorente didnt touch it deliberately.. only he knows that.

I know, which is why refs have guidelines to try and determine as best as possible if it was deliberate or not.

Refs have been instructed to use var to disallow any goal off an arm or hand, intentional or not.

From next season i believe.

You explain to me so why United got a penalty v PSG. Var gave that too

That would have been given because his arm was somewhat away from his body thus deemed to be making himself bigger to try and block the shot. I'm not personally convinced on a lot of those incidents that they should be given (like Rose in the first leg last week) but the refereeing governing bodies seem to want more pens gioven thus more goals so anytime a defender blocks the ball with an arm deemed away from the body that movement to block the ball is deemed deliberate.

Llorente's arm was tucked right into his body and not outstretched, it basically hit his arm after coming over the heads of the 2 players in front. Thats the difference.
