I see your lot have a relegation 6 pointer on Saturday. You've got to be beating Everton.

Unless you're a United fan, you have to sympathise with the way City were robbed at the weekend of that first goal.
How Rashford can be deemed not interfering with play is beyond me or any of the pundits. He practically shields the ball for 20+ yards and feigns a shot, it's outrageous that it was allowed to stand when we have seen plenty of goals ruled out for 'interfering with play' regardless of whether the ball was touched.
There is elite sympathy with legendary clubs such as United and Liverpool when it comes to these types of calls, as we saw with the Wolves disallowed goal which was perfectly legal.
I don't recall United or Liverpool ever being on the wrong end of a contentious decision, it's such a tarnish on the fair play of our sport.Sergio Pinto III and Interested Bystander like this. -

Looks like Kalvin Phillips' days at Man City are numbered

The actions of defenders are being influenced by trying to play offside as part of their defence.
Last week the Wolves player heads the ball because he has his back to Salah, he doesn't know he has gone early but as the flag will stay down due to VAR he has to act on what he is taught as a defender and heads the ball. Now Salah who is only there because he went early scores. If the defender leaves it and he is unaware of Salah being onside or offside then gets slated for not going for the ball.
The Rashford offside is a whole new level, as Man City play the offside trap, the ball is played to Rashford and although he didn't touch it he was travelled with the ball and gave defenders and the goalkeeper something to think about, infact the goalkeeper was set on the basis Rashford could shoot due to the flag staying down as it does with VAR.
If Rashford didn't move with the ball and Bruno puts it away fine, but he literally travels with the ball without touching it. Within an hour of that game Trent was given offside for following a ball out of play to take a throwing.
Gary Neville has said as a fan it's great the goal has been given but as a player it's a nonsense.Interested Bystander likes this. -

I honestly don't see Moyes turning it around. But who is the alternative? The likes of Tuchel and Pochetinno won't go to a bottom three club. Worrying times for Irons fans, of which I'm one. Why do I put myself through this double dose of masochism?Interested Bystander likes this. -
Man City is the club to be. Pep is the best coach out there and you are guaranteed success. Have you been asleep the last decade?Bratfud likes this. -

Why wouldn't they loan out someone who isn't good enough to get in their first team . Joking apart, if it happens you heard it hear first

Bellingham the natural successor to Gundagon who looks like he is off. Man City definitely the best choice for him in the PL. Guaranteed CL football, guaranteed trophies. His game time there will be managed but he will get plenty of opportunities like Grealish and Foden do. -
The potential argument is maybe the Keeper but as the likely place of the shot being differs by under a yard I’m not sure it makes much difference with that.
As for saying United don’t get on the wrong side of such issues, you clearly don’t watch enough matches. There are plenty, including a couple over the last two seasons where an offside player has been standing in front of DDG preventing him seeing the ball. Every club has such calls because interference is somewhat subjective and unless we go back to any player being offside means it’s offside it’s always going to be that wayStop hovering to collapse...

On the Grealish/Foden thing, both of those not playing regularly has impacted their chances for England and in Grealish especially it’s even hindered his club form. There are some players who can perform when being in and out of teams but there is nothing to suggest Bellingham is such a player. It’s as much a risk going to City as going to United who are in a rebuild or to Liverpool who need a rebuild imhoStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
