Man City relegation to league one, what is all that what Guardiola recently said he would stay if they had to go down into league one



oh yeah because of Girona's recent successes in La Liga if they reach CL football next season, then the board has to decide which team to fully back then and which one to abandon

it's not the refs that amend the rules of the game, they do as they are instructed by the ruling body

It’s up to them to interpret the laws though

So because of all the VAR interruptions Howard Webb wants the games to flow more so told the refs to let a lot go

Villa are a team that gets away with a lot.

I remember at St. Andrews in the season that they got promoted back to the Premier League, where every single Villa player was elbowing Jutkiewicz across the head (to the point where he had to be bandaged up) but not a single one of them got sent off in that game, but oh wait "a Blues fan attacked Jack Grealish that game" so according to the pundits and a chunk of the public, physical assault from the opposition players was A-okay because of what one fan did.

But yeah Villa have always been heavily favoured, who remembers the season where they were going to get relegated under Dean Smith, and they disallowed Sheffield Utd's goal because the "goal-line technology wasn't working" which I'll respond to anyone that believes that really happened with I'm the US Prime Minister.

It’s such a shame how the tough or cynical players are now in control .. this was not the case 18 months or so ago

Look at that Bruno elbow off the ball a week or so ago .. highlighted by Gary Neville shown multiple times in replays .. the ref didn’t even know about it so nothing was done

Now not too long ago such incidents were dealt with retrospectively with a 2or 3 match ban

Unfortunately Football has never in my lifetime been able to have a balanced view on players making contact with each other.

It's either the slightest touch on the opposition player is a foul or you can commit borderline GBH on the pitch.

True enough but it can’t be right to allow deliberate elbows off the ball or the constant kicks and body checks done by Joelinton

Just focus on him for ten minutes .. every challenge he puts in is hurtful, he leaves his foot in everytime and when he blocks people off as they run past he leads with his elbow and often a stamp .. it’s classic Pepe .


Pepe gave an interview years ago where he divulged that he liked the sound when he crunched people

He admitted he’d developed a 3 prong attack where when he went in for a ‘tackle’ he went in with his elbow , knee and foot - then he used to stand over them screaming that they were faking it. !!


There’s footage of one of his assaults assault on Messi on YouTube and Messi is writhing on the floor holding his ribs and thigh ..

If looks as though he’s exaggerating things but he was hurt in two or three areas ..

He had every right to be annoyed with that awful reffing at the end. But Spurs are protected by the officials for some reason.
