Well, in the grand scheme of everything, football is trivial. However, this IS a football site and people come to air their views. You dismissing them as trivial is contradictory to the site itself. Football is emotive.

What has the ref’s view got to do with him getting to the ball first? He literally got to the ball first whilst being held back. You said it wasn’t clear if he would have got to the ball first. That was my point.

Well, in real speed, AND actually being taken out, he STILL got to the ball first. So how would he not have got there first if he hadn’t been pulled back?

Jesus. Here you go, yes, city need to play better (although it wasn’t bad yesterday) and they need to be more clinical, creative, whatever. But officiating like that is ruining decent games. Refs, linesman, whoever, should be held accountable when they perform below standards required, the same...

Fuck me, do you want to come up with anymore boring cliches? He was quite obviously shit. You can have teams not playing that well, or even playing well, and the ref still having a shocker. They’re not mutually exclusive, they’re independent of each other. You get that, right? As for not...

To be fair, what a game so far. Both teams are dodgy at the back. More goals in this.

Really good half that was, and we got more confident as it went on. I’m still not expecting anything, Burnley have to improve second half. But, if we carry on like that, we’ve got half a chance.

Not really worth noting is it.

Is it maybe to do with his yellow cards? When do they get wiped?

Looks lovely whenever I watch the F1.

Sooooo, Vik’s actually shit?! Just the keepers are shitter. Good to know.

Taking Harry Kane as an example (as he’s also missed a pen recently), he’s had 44 shots in the league, scored 13 with an Xg of 9.8. Vik has had 46 shots, scored 12 with an Xg of 10.3. I know stats don’t tell the whole story, but it would suggest he’s not a bad finisher.

At least I got him saying something other than it’s not happening!

I get that. I’m as sceptical as the next city fan. But it’s the same thing on nearly every page. I get it, he doesn’t think it will happen, but give it a rest.

It’s really boring. Every time - “because it’s not happening”, “he’s not taking over”, yawn yawn, fucking yawn. It’s all so he can say “look at me everyone, I told you so” if it doesn’t happen. Proper weird behaviour.

Was it ACL at the beginning of the season and is it the same knee?

He signalled straight away. He’s definitely off. What a shit start.

I was only 16, but I seem to remember it was the very last minute. David Holdsworth?

That’s the one that always irks me. Was so sure we were going all the way that year.

Cardiff trying to sign players this January.
