General Football 17/18

Football is so much about momentum and they keep on getting that vital goal to get a positive result. Hopefully the negative impact of a late Rochdale goal throws them off a bit.

"Look, it was a yellow card. It happens. The referee was right. During different games, a lot of situations like this happen," he told UK newspapers.
"The problem now is that we are so sensitive about the situation, and then we are so focused on Dele Alli. It's too much sometimes. There is such a focus on this type of situation. I think it's a minimal issue.

"Look, there are a lot of positives from Dele. Of course, he's not perfect.Nobody is perfect. Of course, he is a clever boy. He is a little bit nasty.

"The problem is that, more than this type of situation, I am worried we are going to change the game that we know."

"Football is about trying to trick your opponent. Yes or no? What does tactic mean? When you do some tactics, it is to try to trick the opponent.

"You say: 'Oh, I play on the right but I'm going to finish on the left'. It's a mix and I am worried that maybe we are going to kill the game.

“I’m led to believe he was looking for it, but why not? If players feel there is an opportunity to be gained then brilliant, I don’t hold it against him,” the Rochdale manager said.

“I don’t blame him and I don’t have a problem with it. Whether it’s him, Harry Kane or [Rochdale’s opening scorer] Ian Henderson, it doesn’t matter who does it. If he does that for England in the World Cup this summer then I will definitely be supporting him.”

Hey kids, hone your diving skills.

"He is a little bit nasty" must be the truest words ever spoken about Dele Alli.

Indeed, just delete the "a little bit"

I thought the guy behind him tripped him.

Anyway, hilarious result.

Ray

He stuck his leg out to make sure he got contact, that’s a dive.

Clrnc

Unbelievable how Lineker, Shearer and co thought it was a nailed on pen even after watching the replays. Clear as day dive.

The English pundits are utterly shameless. Even with his more blatant dives which he gets booked for the worst you hear is 'oh he's got that in his game hasn't he? that little rascal'

Disgusting double standards compared to foreigners who get castigated.

That being said, I've always felt too much is made of diving, at least in comparison to other offences.

City just under 3 mins away from being knocked out of FA Cup by Wigan!

City out 😆
Ref handed them 4 extra mins plus 1 more for good measure, couldn't find an equaliser

Great job Wigan.

Claudius

Indeed. Good goal. What was Walker doing? 😆

Ricky1985

Really enjoyed that. Wigan thoroughly deserved to win.

And what a nutcase Guardiola was at half time, after the sending off! The way he launched himself toward the referee in the tunnel was way over the top (although not as over the top as Delph's tackle).

Well done Wigan!

I'd rather City won. Chances for United to equal our record are much greater now.

Aguero got into fight with a Wigan fan

Might be banned for Carabao Cup final?

Guardiola looked as if he was going to manhandle Paul Cook - totally blew a fuse

This is a travesty. I feel for city. If only they'd got mahrez and Sanchez. Sad day.

banduan

Pep was the picture of saltiness.

Should be charged by the FA for conduct unbecoming
