City v Southampton- Official Match Thread

[PeterParker]

Need to score?
Let's take off the pitch the only footballer who resembles a striker.

[Mase]

Is Sterling still on?!

[Beefymcfc]

But why was the red card even discussed? Didn't they eliminate the double penalty a few seasons ago?

He must’ve thought he pulled him down or purposely tripped him. Shocked that he over ruled himself though, even if it was the right call.

I got excited for a minute then when Grealisj crossed it the back post…until I realised it was going to Sterling!

But would have been the same decision away from home? Or in a derby?
I am thinking no.

Anyone know why it wasn’t given? Looked a pen to me

Effectively Walker got in front of him

[blues2win]

Looks like Foden coming on.

because it wasn't a foul and the player fell to the ground by himself - more of a dive .

[Mase]

I used to defend Sterling until I was blue in the face, but I’m really starting to hate the guy. I’ve not felt like this since Nigel Clough.

[Sideshow Bob]

time wasting cunts.

[Beefymcfc]

We’re lacking energy.

[Mase]

We’re lacking energy.

Foden would provide that.

[blues2win]

Bernardo off Foden on.

[PeterParker]

No chance of taking Sterling off.

[Mase]

No chance of taking Sterling off.

What has he done to still be on the pitch?

[zabbadabbado]

Keeping Sterling on, is like being down to 10 Men anyway.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm

[dave watson's perm]

Get up sterling you fucking tool

[nottsblue]

What’s the score with Delap? Still injured? I’d have thought he would be a good option from the bench.

Thought he went to Stoke on loan?

Stayed and signed a new contract mate

Then he must be injured surely? Otherwise he has fallen way down the pecking order

Scored for the under 23s today. God knows why he isn’t on the bench for the first team

It's worse because he is still an option on the pitch. We would be better if he was sent off
