I don’t know if it’s the way the fixtures has been drawn/set up or the choices by the TV companies but really has been some underwhelming games on the prime TV slots so far this season.

FNF with Luton-West Ham followed by Sheffield United - Everton on the Saturday early kickoff continues that trend.
They do this a bit at the start of every season. Every club is guaranteed a minimum amount of TV picks in a season so Sky and BT/TNT cynically pick a few fixtures like this to "get rid of" those sides picks early on. This means that when we get to the run in the broadcasters have more freedom to select basically whichever game they want.

Palhinha not involved for Fulham today after his Bayern move collapsed yesterday.

I know it must be disappointing but I really hate it when players do this. He's one of their best players, and it's against City.

Fucking do your job against the best team in the best league in the world.

That is so poor from the ref
He called on the trainer and Tarkovski got straight up without being seen by the trainer but the ref made him go off.

I agree with your point, but considering he was still in Germany late last night, it's not that odd. I'm sure the player and management in Fulham is on the same page on this occasion.

City goal stands after it the ball goes through Akanji's legs but VAR says he wasn't interfering with play.

Straight corruption.

City's 2-1 goal now. Fucking hell.

In what world is Akanji not offside?
We've got to the point now where there's no other explanation for some of these decisions.

There's no possible way anyone can look at that and say Akanji is onside. It is beyond a competence issue. So it's corruption.

Doesn't necessarily mean a bribe or money, but they're 100% wilfully and intentionally making decisions they know to be wrong.

Can’t believe Poch was willing to ruin his 5+ year legacy with us to manage those mercenaries.

Hope it was worth it!
