Haha what a moron that ref is. One thing to think it, another to say it on film.

Should never ref again in the EPL

That's true. However, I still have an issue with so called 'mates' taking videos and then releasing them for all the world to see. It's a dog act in my book.
And I'm in no way trying to excuse his stupidity.

PLEEEEEASE don't stop bringing the lols United, the EPL (aka the City Cup) needs it

That West Ham penalty was disgusting though, bloke trips over himself and the ball = penalty and a free goal and final nail for ETH

In-fact the VAR has butchered a number of penalty and non-penalty calls the last few rounds, it's become the bunker but with round ball
VAR needs to be a completely separate entity than the refs. PGMOL is just an old boys club with no accountability to anyone, and the match refs are protected by their mates in the VAR room what ever desisions they make, the penalty against West Ham was laughable but no where near the worse they have come up with. The whole thing is a **** fight, the clear and obvious criteria baffles them and watching replays in slow motion for fouls and penalties is insane. It could be a great set up if it wasn't run by morons. I'll keep my Howard Webb rant for another day 😂

As I understand, Liverpool knocked Amorim back as he was too hellbent on one formation
Amorim apparently met with West Ham during the negotiations with Liverpool, trying to force Liverpool's hand, which of course didn't go down well.

Richie is the striker who's super power is not scoring goals

Broke his tooth apparently, maybe the tooth fairy can bring him some more talent. Bloke plays for Brazilian national team some how
From Romario and Ronaldo to Richie and Tony, that is the definition of a downward spiral if ever there was one.

Big Ange just flattened Man City. You love to see it.
Last week lost at home to Ipswich, this week beats city at home. Crazy!

Some spurs fans playing it down saying that City have lost 5 in a row. Yeah, two of them were Spurs.

No doubt they can do something with Ange at the helm, they have a young squad. Just need to find some consistency

I must ask being a Gunners fan, what has happened to City recently? I'm enjoying seeing this downfall though haha. Back to winning ways last night for us aswell.

They’ve had a lot of injuries.

Rodri is so important to them and he’s out for the season, his replacement Kovacic also missed the game against Spurs.

Long may it continue

I wouldn't discount two other possible factors.
a) Players on hundreds of thousands of pounds a week and already won everything there is to win, may well lose a little 'motivation' to continually stay at the level needed to remain at the top. Maybe they've simply got tired of listening to their twat of a manger as well.
b) Would not surprise me if the 115 charges and possibility of relegation and stripping titles could be filtering through to players who may be thinking about their escape routes now.

League is much more exciting without City.

Arsenal, who deserved to win last two seasons if not for the cheats, Liverpool who would’ve won a couple more if not for the cheats, Utd under Amorim will improve, Spurs with Ange if they give him time, Chelsea on the improve (although I don’t like them for similar reasons to City).

Much more interesting and unpredictable than City winning it every season

Rodri is basically their key player in that midfield, guys De Bruyne can’t do a lot of what he does without Rodri starting the play from deep like he does, losing him for the season has brought them right back to the field.
Yep Ballon D’or for a reason. Outstanding player who allows them to do what they do, controls the games
