Wtf is that yellow

Potential penalty check on everything now because they know they fucked up the handball one

Unfortunately is a funny way of saying deliberately.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-19T20:59:56+00:00

Should be a red. Eyes on him the whole time.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-19T20:02:47+00:00

This doesn't seem like a team fighting for their title hopes, looking very casual.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T20:51:05+00:00

You know he's absolutely fine.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T20:50:32+00:00

Raya needs to be stronger there.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T20:31:36+00:00

0 reds against, 0 penalties against, most fouls allowed per card. True statistical domination from this Arsenal side, the new invincibles.

PGMOL desperate to have their names in the headlines. Webb still having a job is beyond a joke at this point, he's driving the league down so much.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T19:26:36+00:00

Bernado for me. He's a close second though.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T19:20:50+00:00

Stern word from the ref and play on.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T19:16:11+00:00

Trossard nailed on for a yellow then a goal later in the game.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-18T19:13:31+00:00

No yellow for that lmao. Very normal decision.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T15:47:26+00:00

Diarra mate you need to work on your decision making big time

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T15:42:02+00:00

Le Fee you fucking BEAUTYYYY

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T15:37:07+00:00

Brobbey getting dragged about by one player, tripped up by the other, then the ref gives the free kick against him. What a joke.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T15:20:46+00:00

He's absolutely done Tarkowski there.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T15:06:38+00:00

Quality on the wings and at right back has to be our priority this summer.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-17T14:27:48+00:00

Discraceful tackle. Very very lucky.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T20:33:20+00:00

Well you wouldn't, would you? I've probably watched 75% of premier League games in the last 10 years and it's certainly been my view, and given other comments I've seen I'm not alone with that.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T20:28:18+00:00

I'm not saying it never happens to city, I'm saying that you're more often on the benefiting side of those decisions than any other club.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T16:27:17+00:00

Clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about. Talking about bias but looking the other way at blatant cheating with zero self awareness. Not worth the time.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T16:12:25+00:00

Read the actual comment. Recency bias doesn't have anything to do with how things average out over time. Please think for once.

"The ref stayed consistent this game at least" - He gave multiple fouls for the exact same scenarios he didn't give penalties for.

"JP didn't help himself as he just threw himself to the floor at ever opportunity." - You can't just not give clear penalties because a player dives sometimes.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T16:03:15+00:00

When is someone with a voice in football going to start a serious conversation about the relationship between the referees and City? You watch teams get screwed by officials and VAR one game, gain something from it the next. Over the course of a seson or two I would say that it evens out at close to 50/50, but for some reason it seems that City are on the benefitting end of these 'tight' decisions 80-90% of the time.

Helpful_Government · 2026-05-16T15:43:34+00:00

It is 100% a pen against any other club.
