There are stats for everything now so I'm sure somewhere out there is a stat that says how many goals have come from a keepers intercepted pass or first receiver being harrassed this season. It will be a crazy number, so wasteful.

I’ve said it before - it’s because almost everyone thinks they have to play Pepball.

And yes, it’s ridiculous when it happens.

Thing is he has pulled off about 3 saves today that should be goals so getting 1-0 down is right but to come from a stupid error is frankly ridiculous lol

Stop making him pass. As Jamie says. There is a reason he is in goal
 
That was everything that’s wrong with VAR, right there in a six minute window.

Goal fine. No clear offside. Six bloody minutes to try and find the tiniest reason to chalk it off.

Absolutely ridiculous.

When you have the right players, Pepball is very good to watch. When you don’t it is purgatory. This season City have not had the right players. Or players that are well past there best.

What’s happened to Foden?
He’s been awful when I’ve seen him play.
 
Well the home season finished as it started…💩

With a healthy smattering of 💩 in between.

It’s been an absolute chore of a season.

Funny though, I started the day liking Forest, (in football terms they are light years ahead of West Ham) Unfortunately by the end of the game their relentless diving, play acting and time wasting has turned me against them! Shame but I want nothing good for them now.

A special mention for the Ref, he completely lost control at the end but it was all self inflicted. Repeatedly stopping the game because Forest players kept falling to the floor, his incompetence caused tempers to flare.

Was a great watch the last 15 mins tho lol 🤣 rattled them. Bowen's goal aswell. Shame fulkerg couldn't get that goal

Kudus we should sell, I like him but get our money back and invest in somewhere else position wise.. the young Brazilian made some great runs I'd give him the left spot if ness

Yep. I'm a Forest supporter and our antics when we're protecting a slim lead have been irritating the 💩 out of me since we were in the Championship.
Stupid thing is I believe it causes us to draw or lose games more often than it helps win them.

Bowen had enough of Williams and took him right out. Biggest cheer of the day until his goal 🤣

Why did I think you were a Reading supporter?
Am I having a brain fart?

The people that wasted the most time in that game were the clowns in the VAR room! 🤣

100% you should have had us on toast today, your fast free flowing football had us on the back foot every time you played it, when you was flopping around like a fish on the deck it just roughed the crowd up, they got on the players back and they doubled their efforts and we got back into the game.

Anyway I’ve calmed down now so good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully Europe. 👍
 
What a rollercoaster of emotions the last few days. City useless whoppers after neither United or Villa doing us favours on Friday (but pleased for Palace); followed by 3 points away (when we expected nothing after the last 2 weeks), and a win for Arsenal meaning it’s toight like a toiger going into the last day.

Let’s all hope City bottle it against Bournemouth and Fulham and come away with absolutely nothing this season 🙃

Sorry Tash, disagree. pepball is never a good watch. Might have been effective with good players before teams found the antidote. But , a good watch?
Nah, not for me. Boring as hell. Like watching them train.
