Oh FFS. Here we go again. If we fail to qualify for the CL it will be Aguerro’s fault. Or Solskjaer’s if he loses to Liverpool and Leicester because he rests players.

No. It will be because we lost twice to Newcastle, blew a 3 goal lead against Arsenal and played the wrong formation at home to Brighton. Probably one or two other failings as well.

We’ve had a great season, better than any of us could have hoped for, but if we don’t make top 4 it will be because we don’t quite deserve it.

Still I suppose it’s easier to blame everyone else.
Exactly this but I'd add Liverpool at home to your list of games where Moyes fucked up, and this one, although we didn't know it at the time could well be the most important.

The dippers were there for the taking. Racked by injuries yet the Messiah employed tactics reminiscent of a WW2 Italian army general.

You have to look after your own first before blaming a dud Argie.
So you mean it’s Moyes’ fault ?


Excellent!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 👍🏻

Pep played a new system yesterday to 'counter' Chelksi's set up. It's all about mind games for the Champs League final and he couldn't give a fuck about us or anyone else as he knows he'll get the 3 pts needed in the next game.

That said it was a stonewall penalty against Sterling

No Pep played his second string team. Dress it up all you like.

Add to the fact that just before Chelski get the winner, City have a clearest fucking penalty you will see denied by VAR and that cunt Taylor, when normally they would give that without flinching.
Guardiola's responsibility is to City , not to us or Leicester. Of course he rested players, they've got another, more important, game against Chelsea coming along soon haven't they ? As for the "penalty", imo it was one of those that if it was given against us I'd be mightily pissed off but if we weren't awarded it I'd also be spitting teeth. In any case there is an argument for Sterling not even being on the pitch as many will think he should have been sent off in the first half.

We need to win our remaining 4 games, do that then I think we will overhaul Leicester.

But today’s game is difficult and Brighton away recent History suggests we won’t.

It doesn't matter who the foul was committed against. It was clear and simple. He didn't get the ball, he caught the back of Sterling's legs a couple of times which caused him to go down.
After seeing some of the ludicrous decisions that have been given this season, this one is equally as laughable. To put it another way, was the one Masuaku gave away against Salah worse than the one that wasn't given last night?.

It was a fucking dreadful decision. And had that arse Taylor not given the first one he'd have awarded a penalty.

What's even worse is the VAR Old Boys' Club sticking up for each other. The spineless wankers at Stockley Park are meant to tell the referee if he's made a clear and obvious error.

Short of shooting Sterling, Zouma couldn't have done any more to give away a penalty.
