As a City fan I get fed up with Agureo and his horrible fouls he does like today. No need for it at all and I remember him stamping on Luiz the other year as well.

Good game. Ignoring the implosion at the end the whole game rested on the fact that Chelsea were clinical and City weren't. If you think about it, City didn't even score. Lots of respect for how Conte has got Chelsea playing this season but bit surprised about Gary Nev at the end almost condoning the violence. As an ex-manager, he should know better. Aguero's drop kick on Luiz was bad enough, but Ferdinnho's triple-shove on a non-resisting Fabregas was downright nasty.

Had to turn it over at the wrong time didn't I? Missed the main course afterwards so it seems

For the money Man City spend, there is never a match that goes by in any season where they do not have at least six aging and very average players in the squad.
Third is the absolute highest, I could see them ending up, likely lower. |

I hope the FA respond appropriately and hand out the only punishment possible, a 6 game stadium ban for Jose Mourinho.
*awaits customary 'victims' post* ![]() ![]() ![]() There's no doubt that the bans that the City players get will be fully deserved, unlike Jose's. |

Aguero has been very poor for the most part this season, and I think this was just his frustrations coming to the fore, I can see him being sold in the summer.

Neville's always said that he relishes seeing combativeness in a match between two top teams so that would explain why he didn't seek to make a big deal of what happened - even though it went over the line of acceptability. |

All goes off in the 4th min of injury time
Red cards for Aguero and Fernandinho - This could hurt City big time Not sure why Fabregas was yellow carded - seemed to be the victim of Fernandinho Quote:
Not sure that he was? Think Chalobah got booked which was fair enough for pushing Aguero.

The only thing he was condoning was Chalobah getting involved, along the lines of him sticking up for a teammate who's just been caught by a disgrace of a tackle.

It didn't sound to me like Neville was condoning the violence, just making clear that he was putting that incident aside in forming his judgement of the match.
Neville's always said that he relishes seeing combativeness in a match between two top teams so that would explain why he didn't seek to make a big deal of what happened - even though it went over the line of acceptability. As Jason said it went over the line - and straight into the crowd. Could have been very nasty and at the very least City, are down two important players for a while. Neville was a bit soft in his analysis IMO |

Fabregas was booked according to the Premier League website.

Better sell all your strikers in the summer then - Aguero's "very poor" equates to 10 league goals. Your usual biased nonsense is making you a laughing stock. Again. Embarrassing.

City could have done with this red card a few games later, so that Jesus could just slot into the team, (as presumably he will be their second choice striker when he is allowed to play), as it is, the young feller, whose name I can never accurately spell might have to play up front, in their next four games.

Looks like Norwich's losing run is over.
That'll be due to my bet on them to lose. |

Okay very poor was not the correct choice of words, but come on, he certainly hasn't been his all conquering self this season, that much surely cannot be disagreed with?

Not a good few days gor Yaya. Quote:
"Teetotal muslim" Manchester City star Yaya Toure carged with drink driving after being pulled over by police in London. He has reportedly been released on bail and is set to appear in court this month.
Toure, 33, was driving through Dagenham on Monday November 28, when cops pulled him over. He was tested at the roadside and again in custody before being charged with driving a motor vehicle with an alcohol level allegedly above the legal limit. Toure previously claimed he is teetotal due to his religious beliefs." |

He's the second top scorer in the league and has only one less than Costa. So yes, that can easily be disagreed with.
He will always be up there in terms of the final top scorers in the league, though it wouldn't really shock me if Pep did sell him come the end of the season. |

It wouldn't surprise me if he left either, but I don't think that's any reflection on his ability.
