Why are people acting like Trafford said something really offensive by saying he expected something else? We all knew he came in with expectations and Ederson leaving/Donnarumma coming in happened very quickly, but he is obviously up for putting in a shift in the cups while he’s here
What an absolute loser!!! Maybe he should start paying taxes if he’s concerned with the state of the country 🤡
I wanted the Cherki goal to stand so it could be in every year end compilation 😔
Yeah, I get that it was technically correct I just think all of the factors around it mean no one is particularly happy with the decision
We weren’t going to be able to take advantage of them having 10 men as it was over and I’m sure they’d rather not lost Szoboszlai to suspension
I think it’s just VAR sucking the fun out of an absurd moment lol on top of the outcome not benefiting either side so no one being particularly happy about it
More than ANY other referring decision I’ve seen. Denying that Cherki goal. That moment. Shows just how out-of-touch the referees/PGMOL are.
Criminal that they disallowed it!
It feels insane to go through the motions of day to day life and not acknowledge all of the horrible things happening in the world just as a average person so it’s refreshing to see someone like Pep who actually has a massive platform feel the same way and speak out

I had the same thought…it’ll be our inability to see out a half time lead vs their very poor away form… 😵💫
You just know whoever pitched that idea has never actually been to a museum 😭😅
I’d rather just rely on the officials on the pitch to make decisions (and then own them) rather than have a couple of guys in a booth subjectively decide when they’d like to overturn decisions or not even go back and check
VAR in theory should be preventing human error like refs not having X-ray vision or the ability to see every angle of a move in real time but instead it’s just multiplied the number of human errors possible
Had the same thought…😭😅
Fun that VAR has found a way to change its mind retrospectively and give Solanke that first goal because they realised what it meant if it went down as an OG 😂
City were poor second half but it’s hard to not think about where the game would’ve been momentum wise had this been given as a foul
When exactly do you have time to “lift heavy, run far” in this schedule? Or get to know someone well enough to “marry early”, also of course it’s an AI start up, a bunch of people who see no value in creativity so see no value in leisure time
Well done to @anabnos.com for putting his personal and professional interests to one side in order to express in eloquent, powerful fashion an increasingly clear truth: the World Cup should be taken away from the US.

There's no way FIFA should be hosting a World Cup in the US in this climate. It's a big risk if they do, potentially endangering visiting and domestic fans.
Shame on Khaldoon Al-Mubarak and Abu Dhabi. Gross.
Please!! 😭
Yes I have often thought his idea makes no sense, its too big of a change vs people who suggest going with the on field decision if it’s close which feels pretty reasonable and doesn’t involve a massive change to how the game is played
I’ve never understood how this wouldn’t cause absolute mayhem. Defenders holding the line and having to look behind them. Gives attackers way too much of an advantage and alters the game quite drastically imo.
I don’t really get the criticism that city played first team players Saturday, if you play all kids you haven’t taken it seriously, if go strong apparently you are a bully, was there any other premier league side that didn’t include first team players in their line up?
OFFICIAL: Antoine Semenyo will be #ManCity's new #⃣4⃣2⃣.
Rodri on returning to action: "What I've been through has been terrible for me so winning, drawing, losing - right now everything is a gift.
"To play, have joy of the game, recover the smile, the rest will come; victories, successes. It's about staying fit, enjoying..."

Trump is now saying "something's gonna have to be done with Mexico" in relation to cartels, which is the same excuse he's used to attack Venezuela. Wonder how FIFA will respond to this 2026 World Cup co-host issue given Infantino's recent involvement in the region's politics...
He won’t, of course, but you do hope that somewhere between the press releases and private flights, Gianni Infantino glances at today’s headlines and feels the faintest flicker of embarrassment for inventing a novelty peace prize and handing it to Donald Trump.
Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩
