Sure, sure. That definitely happened.
Some of the replies to that are sensational

...laughing at your guess of grey, not you being colourblind!!

Dion Dublin described it as 'mushroom', I'd say it was a dark beige or taupe. Either way it's minging.

Grey would be ok!
It's like it's been dyed with the remnants of a Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall tree bark and nettle soup

Tbf, Lampard is referred to as 'Fat Frank' in here all the time (or at least he was when he was relevant).

True, although I think that was partly due to the alliteration. “Fat Ange” doesn’t even have that going for it. “Ample Ange” would probably be better 😉

It’s all a bit silly though, and I doubt Ange cares.

I rather like Flange......but then that's more of a general thing for me rather than an abusive term for our manager! :cautious: :shifty:

And we've had constant references to Klopp's teeth and glasses, Arteta's "Lego Hair", bald references to a hundred different people including our own chairman...

Who cares if people call Ange fat? He's literally a bit fat? Wish everyone would stop being so sensitive about absolutely everything all of the time.

City players and fans losing the plot over a 'screwed the pooch' ref call on the halfway line, where the moderately-paced Grealish surrounded by three of our players, was still 35 yards away from goal is something to behold. I can't believe that was the 'headline' coming out of this game. Of all the BS VAR calls this season and ref cocks ups, that was what the likes of Pep, pundits, media, and Haaland-the-Crazy were losing their collective shit over? Jesus bloody wept. Can you imagine if the call had been from twenty yards out, and Grealish was actually just inside the 18 yards box? Given Haaland's unintentional impression of Doc Brown after 10,000 kilowatts of electricity went through him, I'd imagine in that other scenario he would have torn his hair out and his eyeballs would have exploded.
I thought it was obvious the ref saw it was only Grealish and decided to play call back

I do find these corruption comments funny. It's like every team seems to think the league is corrupt but they can't figure out what the goal is. They don't want Liverpool to win so intentionally ruled out a legit goal against us. They wanted City to draw so pulled back a free kick when they had a chance. Maybe they want us to win but they gave a harsh handball against arsenal, gave 2 reds against Chelsea and turned off the var monitor for the first 10 mins against Villa so couldn't review a potential penalty. Oh and we haven't had a single penalty awarded to us yet. Its ironic that it's coming from fans of teams who have often had favoured decisions for them over the years too. I swear people are acting this season like officials haven't made mistakes before.

I had it at work yesterday and said similar. I’ll admit at the time I couldn’t believe it, and I wouldn’t have been entirely happy if it happened to us.. but… the chances of Grealish going on to score was pretty slim.

The way everyone is going on, it was a certain goal they were being robbed of.

Just seen it from another angle and whilst it is true Grealish probably doesn't have the pace to really burst away, it also needs pointing out he is going onto his right foot (inside) which means Davies is certainly catching him. And even if he gets in front of Davies, he is coming across and not going directly toward goal which means Emerson is probably getting back faster than Grealish can get to his shooting position.

I rate his chances of scoring from that 50/50. It is not clear at all

100% - they act as if a goal was nailed on......from, of all players......Jack Grealish........who in reality was probably already looking for a way to fall over and get a freekick. :cautious: :shifty:
