    The real question is why didn’t Haaland get booked for his outbursts. Another decision goes for City

      You’re upvoted despite what you’re saying being factually wrong. Haaland was booked. Says it all about this sub.

      I think the real question is why he wasn’t sent off for it. He was way out of line, and precedents from this season show he should be seeing time on the sideline for it. Several of his teammates should have gotten yellow cards for their crowding and berating of the official.

    Honestly they have had a lot of decisions go their way in the past, seems this is the year when things get evened out

    I think he was the most upset because he botched his chances in the first half. They could have easily put the game away in the first half, didn’t. Ange hyped up the team at halftime and Spurs finally showed up.

    I know that what I’m going to say it’s against everything I’ve stood for, as City should feel robbed. But fuck them for once.

      If this was a late Tottenham chance there would be absolute uproar. If the users here can’t turn their bias of City aside to agree this was a terrible decision and that City aswell as us City fans have every right to feel annoyed then none of you have any right to start moaning about the next shitty ref decision. Similarly to last week if the Dias disallowed goal situation was flipped round and was actually a disallowed Liverpool equaliser they’d be crying in the streets over the BS calls City get.

      Regardless of what you “believe” would’ve happened if the game played on the fact is noone knows whether City score or not but it was an excellent chance and Grealish deserved the chance to attempt it. He had fresh legs, had just scored and we’d caught Tottenham with their pants down. The fact Emerson didn’t even get booked for hacking Haaland down with no intention to play the ball says it all.

      Poor decision but probably not even in the top 5 this season with Wolves, Liverpool and Palace receiving worse decisions.

      It’s hard to feel sorry for them when they’ve had multiple controversial decisions go their way this season while title challengers have been robbed and all City fans have done is laugh and tell them to get over it. Same as they did when they won the league by a point after the Rodri handball. Didn’t hear them complaining then. Fuck em.

      Robbed is having a legit goal taken from you. This is: they “might” have scored a goal. No reason to feel robbed.

    I’d be livid if it was against my team, but Grealish still has a lot to do. It’s not like they were guaranteed a goal from that position

      I reckon that defender would have chased him down easily. Can’t remember who it was, but they was rapid.

    City have robbed other teams plenty of times with red cards not being given, 1 week special pens and clearly offside goals

    Oh no, City robbed when one goes against them… oh the horror

    Wow this is so over analysed and blown out of proportion. Guy thought it wasn’t an advantage and called it back for the free kick, he was wrong. Get over it.
