And here's a thread dedicated to it.
It's like it never happened.
Re do that table based on fair officiating.
Because that's real.
And don't call the team shit for being cheated.
I bet some of you cunts also think we went out of the champions league because of what happened in monaco?
Spot on OD.
So many City fans are falling for the Sky/media angle - quickly forgetting how we are shafted by the corrupt system that is enforced through the Refs.
And it is very real, Pep alludes to it all the time, a player tweeted it after a match we won, FFS
I suggest recalculating those points factoring in fair Refs.
I will even help and get it started.

The results are what they are.
We have mostly outscored most of the teams in the lower part of the league - and comfortably.
We have rarely outscored the top teams and struggled for whatever reason - including not holding onto leads and not putting away our chances when we had them.
Solve the leaky defence and misfiring attack problems as they are within our control. All that media, ref and FA bias is not under our control and, frustrating as it is, it should not become a distraction for the team - and that's Guardiola's job to instill a professional attitude in the squad.
I agree. We have glaring issues at the back and we are not clinical in attack.
But at the highest level the margins between victory and defeat are very slim.
Seemingly small decisions have a very big effect on the outcome. For example,
1. Yellow card a defender early in a match or just give a free?
2. Call a penalty or wave play on?
3. Wave a red card or ignore the incident (with no retrospective action)?
4. Disallow onside goal or give the goal?
For all of the above questions we usually get the first option.
For as long as that persists everything else is irrelevant. We just cannot win, we are not allowed to.
