  Not that I feel sorry for Man U, but since when has standing in front of the keeper and putting your leg up a bit while turning your back with no contact at all become a booking?
  

  I thought that but no one either the "experts" or commentator has said anything other than accepted that it was a justified booking!

  For years now.  It's deemed ungentlemanly conduct and also, by not allowing the goalkeeper to return the ball into open play seen as not playing within the spirit of the laws of the game.  The yellow card was fully justified.  If Smalling hadn't raised his leg, he would have been ok.

• I haven't seen it but I hope it was an awful decision to send Smalling off. And I hope they get similar decisions against them every game for the rest of eternity.

  Sadly it was a trivially easy decision. They're still owed a decade or two of injustice.

  This.
  
  The balance of power has definitely shifted.
  No team has had more players sent off I'm 2014 according to Danish commentators.
  
  And it's instant karma with Rojo getting injured in that tackle.

• Feel dirty for cheering a Man City goal, but get the f&#k in.
  
  And still the commentators bemoan Utd's luck.
  
  The force is definitely not with Admiral Ackbar.

• 3 stonewall penalties for City denied by ref Michael Oliver. And Rojo would have been sent off, ironically saving him from going off with a dislocated shoulder. City finally scored and hopefully will put United to the sword. Then, beat Spurs and Villa will be level on points with the reds.

• Great God Almighty. A Monday in early November and already forced into hoping that Crystal Soddin Palace and SunderFuckinland draw. How is a Villa fan supposed just to get through the dreary working weeks that drag on until Christmas?!

  It's depressing isn't it!  Whatever happens we drop a place tonight.
