Can’t listen to the “pro’s”

Sky’s agenda is controversy and muck raking.

Didn't the refs say that contact is part off the game at the start of the season? Not every foul needs to be a yellow card.

Ends 0 - 0 but two or three sending offs, a liberal sprinkling of yellow cards and, while I don't wish anyone permanent harm, an injury here and there wouldn't go amiss...

"That's a red", says Arsenal ambassador Theo Walcott.

"That's a yellow", says City ambassador Micah Richards.

The irony is that Oliver has already proved himself a cowardly and inept Ref unlike Steve Hooper last week who was at least consistent - yet copped pelters all week from all sides.

True but both of those tackles were definitely yelow cards.

There's being "strong in the tackle" and diving in from behind. The latter is always a card if you miss the ball and often a card even if you get it.

Every week Neville decides what his narrative will be early on and then doesn’t deviate. The Spurs games was how bad Udogie was. This game he keeps saying how poor Arsenal have been whereas City have arguably been worse.

No one is telling me that this match is the pinnacle of the Premier League this season and that we're a distance away. It's wide open if we want it.

Theo Walcotts voice gives me the heebie jeebies, it’s the sort of quiet “nice boy” element of it.

Everytime he speaks I hear one of those kids that lives with his nan, countdowns on and he’s hovering in the doorway “shall we open the nice biscuits nan?”

Weird little thing.

He sounds like an absolute wet wipe.

N'Ketiah is quite poor. I can't understand why he's up there and not Jesus.
It should really be Balogun but I reckon he was seen as a bit disruptive/not falling in line with Arteta's weirdness.

Whereas Nketiah does everything Arteta asks of him.

The only thing that I think makes it different is where it happened. Rice wasn't posing any danger, it was a late challenge after the ball was released. Last week Jota brought down Udogie after losing the ball and being out of position for a counter.

Still borderline for me and if he (Kovacic) wasn't already on a yellow he gets one there.

1 of Kovacic's fouls were worse then both of the Jota fouls put together last week. :ROFLMAO:

1 fouls of Kovacic was worse than jota
So jota did next 2 worst tackles?

Kovacic 1 yellow
jota 2 yellows

So seems right?

I'd agree with you if it wasn't an arsenal player on the recieving end.
