This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/co…

🚨 Jarrod Bowen on disallowed goal: “When you look at the screen for five minutes you'll find something”. “Do I think it's the right decision? No. Where's the consistency? As a fan you don't want to celebrate a goal and then wait eight minutes and it's taken off you”.

This was given as a goal btw 🤦

@9320pod If the ref gave it you’re not happy but more acceptable, the fact that they’ve said it has met the threshold of clear and obvious error is a joke.

“Clear and obvious” that the officiating in our league is not fit for purpose. Forget about City. West Ham could go down on the back of that decision. And for Arsenal of all sides to benefit from that sort of call. Just wow.

Calling out my own bias as a city fan but that is madness.

If UK news shows won’t call out Farage’s bull**** lets do it ourselves

Outfought and lost our heads. All experience for next season! Needed Rodri tonight badly.

Rodri out is a huge blow!

This must be a parody

Wow. Thats a lot of changes. Rarely goes well!

Bernardo Silva is one of the smallest and slowest central midfielders in the Premier League, but averages the most distance covered per-90 (12.2km) for players with a minimum of 2,000 minutes, and leads Manchester City for defensive contributions (223). Only behind Donnarumma and Nunes for ball recoveries. Defending his own box to win the header against Gyokeres. Spotting the striker was free, and then positioning himself in front with space to win the ball. The last man back to defend a 2v1 transition, anticipating the flight of the ball, and getting back in front of Havertz to clear the ball. Knowing how to position his body to direct players away from the central space, and when to take a step back, and invite them to turn before he can step in to win the ball. Leading the press at the top of the diamond. Splitting between two players, knowing who to cover as the opposition is forced to one side. Playing deeper in a pivot, covering players between the lines. Swapping with the winger OOP to cover the space inside, then in possession, hold the width and free that player to come inside. Baiting the opposition to press in his own half to open up passing lanes. Knowing when to drop into the backline to deal with an aggressive high press. Little dribbles to drag the opposition block over with him, and open up the space on the opposite side. Pulling out wide to provide rotations with the wingers and full-backs. Driving the opposition down the line to open up a cutback, and pull midfielders away from the central space. There are so many more ways Bernardo Silva has impacted games across this season, but already, you can see how useful he is for the team.

Huge game today against a v good Arsenal team! Assume most negativity from their side is online fans, if we bump into a couple proper fans round ground today I’m sure they’ll realise UCL semi and 6 points clear in PL is a great season! See if we can haul them back 🩵

🇺🇸 Trump before starting the war : Didn't consult with 🇪🇸 Spain Didn't consult with 🇬🇧 UK Didn't consult with 🇮🇹 Italy Didn't consult with 🇦🇺 Australia Didn't consult with 🇫🇷 France Didn't consult with 🇮🇪 Ireland Didn't consult with 🇨🇦 Canada 🇺🇸 Trump after losing the war : Blaming 🇪🇸 Spain for not helping Blaming 🇬🇧 UK for not helping Blaming 🇮🇹 Italy for not helping Blaming 🇦🇺 Australia for not helping Blaming 🇫🇷 France for not helping Blaming 🇮🇪 Ireland for not helping Blaming 🇨🇦 Canada for not helping This man's politics is 100% based on lies, manipulation and u-turns No wonder a country like 🇮🇷 Iran with no nukes literally made him lose his mind in just few weeks

100% and a nervy 0-0 tonight was nice. Two games against that Atleti team is a nightmare for anyone.

😂😂😂

@goatersmotors Kennedy @ Blackburn Kompany 2012 The very worst: Sterling vs Spurs only to get VAR’d. Absolute bedlam to complete silence

The most I’ve celebrated a goal in my lifetime: Dickov - Gillingham 1998 Yaya - United @ Wembley 2011 Aguero - QPR 2012 Gundogan - Villa 2022 Gundogan - United @ Wembley 2023 Rodri - Istanbul 2023 Honourable mentions: Kompany - Leicester 2019 Yaya - Stoke at Wembley 2011

Guy at the end should be in the olympics if that is real
