Anyone saying dive is just daft.
Solid performance... We`re going to have to win every game to have a chance, and we look like that's a good possibility.
It's a dive... but a clear penalty too. Blocking him from going to either side. I've seen less cuddling in a rom-com.Solid performance... We`re going to have to win every game to have a chance, and we look like that's a good possibility.
Its always been about the Manchester derby return fixture since January.
We were always going to drop points ourselves - thats what the cushion was there for and it was only balancing out the earlier points City lost. Both teams have been that equal and level since the start of the season really, so the game to have circled in red from the end of Jan was the City away to UTD game.
End of the day chaps, win or not - we have taken the "allegedly"best team the Prem has ever seen to the wiriest of the wire.
And as for Barca? On toast. Home and away.

Great result, we like goals from midfield ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
But it was a dive.
Salah is a strong lad, he could've stayed in his feet if he wanted to, but didn't.
Had he stayed on his feet the ball would've gone out of play and he wouldn't have got anything.
So he had to go down to get a pen.

He was being fouled, so it's a 100% penalty.But it was a dive.

We love a good excuse don't we. We won lads!
Whatever City say there's pressure on them now. They're the favourites, it's in their hands and if Utd can be arsed to turn up they're capable of giving them a game at Old Trafford.
The reality is they'll score within 5 mins and walk away with it.

He did stay on his feet in the first grapple - he went down after the 2nd, and frankly until Refs start penalising grappling in the box again, he needed to go down to get it.But it was a dive.

I'm just looking forward to our "we put the pressure on 2018/19 dvd" Whatever City say there's pressure on them now. They're the favourites, it's in their hands and if Utd can be arsed to turn up they're capable of giving them a game at Old Trafford.
