    If we just lost it would be fine. But Sterling should be released after that. And yes there should be no second chance. You are not allowed to miss that in this level

    City is a bad example tho. They been struggling this year. And you cant look at football just based on one match

    city was better. Uefa intentionally vared us out. I mean they litetally said dumming a ball is not interfering which is what? Also demb did tackle laporte. Also that sterling miss lol

    but yea cant rly compare leagues based on one match

    You have to touch the ball.
    Laporte is overated. He was terrible against Spurs in the CL last year.
    City have no leaders bar De Bruyne

    Btw. For decades dumming a ball without touching has always been an offside

    for the decades you were allowed to take man & ball. Rules have changed.

    Sick of Man City crying about decisions. It is the same thing every year with them. They are allowed to play in the CL next year somehow.

    Oh let me help you out. We are allowed because the rules says we are you see ? The rules say you cant be charged for a case that happened longer than 5 years

    you probably wanted to say its not fair. Which is fine. But not knowing how is weird

    I don't know if it's overrated or the most overrated but as a personal preference I never enjoyed premier league, I don't know why. I grew up with my father being a fan of Serie A and I felt in love with that style of play as I grew up and my favorite players of all time are all italian defenders and midfielders.

    I think you shouldn't be angry cause City played awful the entire game. That 1st eleven was messed up from the start, too defensive and they coulda play for 3 straight days and they wouldn't do nothing to beat Lyon. And again we can see that City needs Aguero, who is a GOD, probably one of the best strikers in the world at this moment. I think they should buy a top striker as well to not depend that much on him and if things like this happen again they would have a good replacement

    I do know how.
    City proposed 2 of the 3 judges to CAS this was mentioned by Football Leaks(who broke he City FFP story). They won the Verdict 2:1

    Smart move by City to get cleared but they are fooling no one. Etihad are just renegotiating their sponsorship each year for no reason lol. They signed a 10 year sponorship in 2011 but renegotiate nearly every year. Makes no sense except to help comply with FFP. It is so obvious what they are doing

    This occurred to me too, I was expecting them to rule it off since the intention of the call was heading towards Ekambi, I guess they interpreted otherwise? It may or may not have changed with VAR now bringing in a host of new stupid regulations, I’ll have to double check?

    Like I mentioned previously, I wouldn’t look too deep into this result as a series of freak incidents happened in this game. Heck I know the feeling of getting ejected by Lyon, Real got smacked by them back in 09 smh. Next season is where I’m curious to see how this team reacts, since these sort of results either catapult a team to a relentless desire to redeem themselves or it cultivates a culture of mediocrity. The team is excellent, these are learning experiences that will do good in the future, look at how PSG have gotten trolled every year before they finally got over the hump.
