BTW Sangers is there anyone else (apart from me) that you either rationally or irrationally dislike or even go as far as to hate?

No hate for you sir, we just have different opinions on a hell of a lot of things.

Nice to hear and the same goes for me.
BTW We do have a rather right-wing, Chelsea supporting son but we generally (but far from always) find common ground.

Just looking at the championship table, lol @ Sheffield united, but very surprised to see Norwich down there

[BRO_BOT]

Luckily, Spurs have been shite so far. Other than the goal, the game hasn't been great tbf

[South Coast Royal]

Sunderland have given their latest promotion to the Premier League a really good go by spending £180 million or so gross on new players.
Very impressive v Arsenal last night and reminded me a bit of us with our first promotion season at that level.

Good luck to them and they don't need too many more points to take away the worry of relegation which presumably was their priority at the start of the season.

Who invented the word bottle or bottling? because it only ever refers to Arsenal, the celebration from rival fans for a team drawing a game is hilarious.
Fed up with waiting for them to lose probably.

Just noticed, City have a player called Bob!

[Sutekh]

Why does Oliver get anywhere near games involving Liverpool?

Seem to recall Liverpool have been on the end of blatantly idiot decisions from him in the past - plus he’s just not very good.

[Sutekh]

Great defending from Konate, Haaaaaaaland gets a free header and GaryN can get excited…..

[BRO_BOT]

VAR rules Robertson offside! Possibly a little harsh, but he's ducking under the ball in the 6-yard box.

[Sutekh]

Another *******stupid VAR call but then it’s Oliver

[Sutekh]

City the better team, Liverpool being stitched up by cr@p defending and Michael Oliver - so business as usual then.

Another *******stupid VAR call but then it’s Oliver

It's not ridiculous, as he's within a few feet of the keeper in the six-yard box, but I can see why LFC fans feel hard done by.

If the goal had been given, I don't feel City could complain too much.

Bad day for all you RFC Reds.

Liverpool have been dreadful. VVD looks like he’s spent the game sulking although he did get assist for the second goal.

[AthleticoSpizz]

No Liver-love, but this was Man City that won.

Any news on their 115 crimes against humanity charges yet?

Can’t stand Man City but that wasn’t really the point

Gary Neville referred to another recent game where something similar happened and IIRC the player was even more in the line of sight of the keeper and yet that goal stood.

An incredible performance from Doku was a major difference between the two sides whereas normally he is quite inconsistent and he even crowned his performance with a stunning goal of his own.
I can't think of another game for some time between top clubs where a single player has been in the game so much and so effective, leading Neville to award him MOM after only 60 minutes or so.

One minor crumb of comfort for Liverpool is that they have already played 5 of the top 7 in the division.

Good to see Bournemouth brought down to earth.-their fans locally have become a bit above themselves and their old manager Eddie Howe's Newcastle are only a couple of points above the relegation places.

yes, don’t worry, it wasn’t missed

Correct decision.

Being that close to him Robertson would clearly have an impact on the ‘keeper’s decision making and reflex reactions.

Once again it would be fine if all refs and VAR refs saw things the same way-but they don't and the other day the goal stood, whatever the game was where Gary Neville and I both saw the same thing-he can't remember the game either.

Interesting that both Neville and Richards felt that the goal should have stood especially with Neville being so anti-Liverpool and Richards being an ex-City player.

In the end, as Slot said, it didn't matter though but could you ever believe that Wenger or Fergie would have taken that view?

Not having that. Liverpool were second best all over the pitch. Yes Doku was MOTM and he scored but he wasn’t the only difference. He had no assists for example.
