You can lose and draw a game and still be in front whilst the others have to win both, at this stage that's a good position.
Big surprise for me is Liverpool's recent form dip though they may have got over that with a good win at Spurs.
Leicester are a good side but not good enough for champions again IMHO.
Are City doing anything in transfer window?

Ave not heard anything at all, the rumour is that City are going for a Marquee signing at the end of the season.
 
How on earth have VAR not given a penalty for Southampton? The Villa fullback has saved it with his arm.

I'm assuming it came off cash's thigh onto his hand? That or the VAR is just continuing the trend of being utter rubbish

I think I'll take your second option. He's pretty much dived to his left with his arm out to stop the ball. Couldn't have been any more obvious if he'd caught it.
 
According to Mike Dean the ball flicked up off his thigh so it's not a penalty. I'm not sure how that makes a difference when it would have hit his arm even if it didn't flick up off his thigh. VAR is a joke.

We can all ,except Yernited fans,probably recall when a pen goes against our team that’s harsh then you see that.

Gomez at city for me. Luckily KDB missed it like but never the less

Yes I'm going to.be biased but if thats not a pen then we might as well give up and go home. VAR is ruining the game with decisions like this.
So going by Mike Deans ruling if a defender thighs it then catches it thats not a foul?:unsure:

We'll probably get a "clarification of the rules" on Monday when they try to explain why the ref got the decision correct but going forward it would be a penalty for that situation. There would be much more respect for officials if they came out and said "Yes, we got that one wrong", rather than hiding behind the ridiculous excuses of the PGMOL.
 
Out of contract in the summer and Origi the other way on loan.
Sounds great to me. Like what I've seen of him and you need a centre forward.

Divock clearly needs a run of games if he's every going to get back to his best form.

Noises of Diop on loan from West Ham for the season too. A little bit left field but if it gets Fabinho back in midfield more and keeps Jordan there then I'm all for it!
 
Palmerias v Santos, finished in the 104th minute with Palmerias scoring in the 98th minute. It made City v Sheff Utd look a classic.

Apparently just rumours, the guy who seems to be on the button with these things say it's just paper talk

But if he did go to you on loan might do him good
 
There doesn't seem to be no level nowadays. It's either on or off.

That's what the commentator was saying. But how can they be certain the exact point that the ball is passed forwards? The frame rate isn't high enough to give that precise an answer which means that they are just guessing.

They can't.

I just want to see a goal being a scored with an armpit to see how they judge it.
