Really doesn't matter IMO, you just can't strike out at a fan like that unless it's self defence which it clearly wasn't.

What if it was racial abuse? I'd give him a pass. Let's see what comes of it.

I do too. But hypothetical for you all: FA Cup or top 4 thereby securing CL next season which we NEED to secure to continue progressing?
We have a fully fit squad. We can go for the cup and 4th; we have the depth to do it.

What I don't want poch to do is minimise the FA Cup and not give it everything.

4 games away from lifting it. City were the only major obstacle in our way.

I'm trying not to get too optimistic as United and maybe Chelsea fans will be thinking exactly the same as us right now..

I'm all for playing the same 11 vs. Rochdale but from then on I want our strongest team playing, no reason not to go for this.

City really need to win a trophy if they want to keep this group of players together
Champions League or bust.

The League Cup won't be big enough, and there will only be muted celebrations when they wrap up the league as its been a one horse race since November.

Chelsea will fuck us if we go through...

Nah. If someone walks up to me at work and says he hopes my kids die, I'll go for him too.

Even then. Obviously horrid stuff and the Wigan fan should be banned if it was (and prosecuted if possible), but Aguero's a professional. He knows you're going to be provoked sometimes in football, badly provoked, but you can't retaliate like that. If someone said something even that deeply nasty to me and I hit them, I'd be sacked, no questions asked, and I'm not paid even a fraction of what he gets for putting up with it.

Did Aguero punch him? The money he earns is also completely irrelevant.

Delighted that their chances of a quadruple are scuppered. I feel dirty for saying this but would love arsenal to beat them in the league cup too.
Fuck no.


Can't have Arsenal going through turmoil and still win trophies in back to back seasons.

City shit until de Bruyne comes on = The Kevin de Bruyne team

Kyle Walker brainfart LoL

The red was a bloody red, he was off the ground studs showing and reckless.

Passive/aggressive Pep showing his true nasty colours again the second he doesn't get something he wants (the publicly tapping up twat!).

Commentator Ciity Fappathon nauseating. Good strong challenge from Stones - yeah, but he didn't win the bloody ball! Look at the dip on that - yeah, but it's gone straight into the keepers arms so so effing what!

Will they finally STFU about the quadruple FFS!

p.s. In the build up to the match, they showed Laporte leaning in with his head on Steptoe Vardy. If that was Dele the media would be leading a campaign to have him retrospectively punished IMHO.
