Great piece, Dave. I agree with every word.

Ditto

Although I assume you thought McGinn was lively rather than "lovely" ;)

My favourite bit, actually.

I overlook typos, because they happen to the best of us 🙂

Well I dunno. I've always liked a good shapely arse.

Nice article do we assume winning mentality goes hand in hand with siege mentality bless

Not trying to be sarcy, but sentences are usually helpful, Tony.

Great article.

I thought they had purchased Mings one hour before the kick off.

Regarding Grealish not diving like that for us, I said exactly that after the game to a few mates. He got clattered more than anything but I don't think I ever saw him go down as blatant as that.

He did that as he's a judas. Like another well known judas he sold his soul which in later life he will regret.

I've watched it in slow motion a couple of times, and can't see where he was even clipped at all, the very worst, most blatant dive.

Even if it did happen it would be the kind of contact that might make you stumble a bit before falling, not the full David Platt Swan Lake we saw from 'one of our own'

I agree, the only counter-argument I noticed was that Ramsey also stumbled slightly when Greasy fell over dived.

That's how I saw it. A mere tap on the leg at full speed could definitely cause someone to stumble and fall but not in the way he did. The way he went over was totally un-natural which made it easy to spot as a dive. But only if you actually WANT to see it that way. It was a terrible time to play them. The league and PGMOL were desperate to not give anything remotely debatable against them for fear of them claiming that "they're out to get us". As if the cheating bastards need any more help. Grealish has turned out to be the very epitome of all that is rancid about that football club.

His heel was very slightly clipped by Ramsey's knee.  How the hell the cheating thicko managed to land on his back is beyond me.  As I said in the post match thread, if you get properly clipped, you go down eating grass.   As for their punishment, they should get a year out of the top league for every year the FA have been investigating and Man City being less than forthcoming.  Shame for the true City fans but hopefully the picture takers fuck off back to whence they came.

You already know the outcome. A bit of a fine and don't do it again lads else we might have to double the fine to a million. That's your last warning. Meanwhile  City piss themselves laughing and carry on as before. Chelsea see what is happening and think if its good enough for them then it's good enough for us. Let's throw another £300  million about.Then red scouse. Red Manchester get wind of it and off they go. Oh and don't forget the black and whites from up north they won't want to miss out. But good old Aston Villa will stick by the rules and get fuckin nowhere.
