He did nothing. Nothing Bassong didn't do. It's baffling.
I hope Mancini fucking lays into that ref and linesman, let's see him do a Froggie and let's see the corrupt FA ban him. Corrupt, the whole fucking thing.

Come now. The same thing happened to Pepe Reina against Newcastle. It appears, to us, to be the wrong decision, but the correct thing for the players to do is not get in altercations in the first place. He won his foul, he could have voiced his feelings without doing something risky like he did.
The tackle looked good though, I don't even see how it was worth a yellow. Especially after Kompany's which was nearly identical in effect - a strong follow-through but a clean lunge. I don't see how one is a yellow for Bassong and the other is a goal for City.
Bassong answered the same way?

This isn't blue moon or rawk.

We looked real good in the final 15 minutes of the half. Wish we could have gotten one back, but we better spend the next 45' playing like we did at the end of the 1st... First 30' were unacceptable.

I'd say there was more from Nasri. A bit harsh, but as I said they do give reds for that.
No he didn't. He just had his Head down. Nasri pushed his head in.
Hugo did one amazing punch as well, it was like a centre-back's clearance it was so strong. He is a top player and could end up being one of the best in Europe. He's been fantastic recently, he brings so much more compared to Brad (who I still like as 2nd choice).
It's very peculiar. He talks about being hard in his interviews.

United haters gonna hate
A little inconsistent. Some games looks amazing but some really poor. Suffered with a few small injuries and being force to play out of position abit.
Well. Why shouldn't I?
Mancini - the ref ate too much Christmas dinner - warrants a letter from the FA.
Fergie - up in the faces of the official and linesman - nah that's ok. Never mind that it undermines the Respect Campaign.
Critising refs = hating United? Really?
Looooool settle the fuck down.
Not watching the game, on my way home. How we looking lads?

Yes cause leaving the game won't get the FA to suspend city and shit... Good thinking.
United should look into netting at least one more asap, I can see WBA putting one past them, if they can keep doing what they did in the last 15mins.
Like in Serie A, then. He's consistent there, at least.

They wouldn't suspend the club, they'd award the points to Norwich and fine City. When will shitty officiating end? Will it take a team to actually leave the field of play? I'm thinking so.
Mentioning Fergie and the corrupt FA in every post. Really.

Yep, he oozes class. A lot of respect for Brad for how professional he is, complementing Hugo on twitter, etc... I don't think we could ask for a better number 2. It's also a shame though, because he could start for half the teams in this league.

Which is why we need RVP on
we're very fluid in the passing game with cleverly, kagawa, young and welbeck drifting around and keeping it tidy but lack cutting edge without rooney or rvp. look strong defensively outside of one dumb tackle by smalling.
But that means I hate United?
I'd be mentioning other managers dude, but no one else gets away with it so often, so I have no choice really do I?

If the FA is corrupt and Sir Alex holds true power, that means he's pretty shit as we would have won the league last year.
The most likely scenario in this case is that the ref made a bad decision (though I haven't seen the incident myself) just like the many bad decisions made every week across the country. This FA corruption claim is ridiculous.
This isn't really a case of shitty officiating. It's maybe a bad call to go straight red, but this is far from the worst decision made over the last few months, or even weeks.
Kagawa, Cleverly and Carrick bossing. Need RVP on to finish the chances.

My fantasy team, consisting of:
Begovic
Evra Vertonghen O'Brien Ivanovic
Toure Mata Routledge
Tevez Suarez Van Persie
currently has 4 points. Ridiculous.

I really want to see this card now.
Holding possession better than we have for a while. Long is getting bullied. Clev is good, Carrick is doing a fine defensive job. Valencia and Young are unremarkable. Welberg can't finish.
We won't win this 1-0. WBA have done little but if they bring on Lukaku and go direct, we will probably leak.
Dc, stop crying. Frogie gets banned and fined quite a bit.
I've watched it five times and I still don't understand. What stopped Bassong from going away or not going in? They both went in 100%

Well, you do have a choice. It seems Nasri's been sent off for similar reasons to, as Morsel and Bungie's pointed out, a Liverpool and Tottenham player respectively. Yet you're the only one going on about Ferguson.
Maybe criticise your player for being a reactionary cunt.

Let's not make this about United please.
City-Gaf need a Doicare
Expecting a RVP for Kagawa change around 65-70mins. He's done well in his first game back.

yeah, I'd like to see it as well.
Thoughts about the Utd. game:
- Cleverley is still overrated (as in: the hype doesn't even begin to match his abilities). He's not bad, but he doesn't strike me as being overly talented.
- there is barely any structure to the Utd. attacks - so stale and predictable, so hard to see pre-trained moves - only Kagawa is mixing shit up, but then he creates space through some cool shit and his mates just pause for a sec as in "wtf did he just do, oh I got the ball no and he created space for me, uh, better do so...oh, too late"
- atmosphere sucks, but that's true for most EPL games/stadiums nowadays, sadly.
Of course you miss some important players and WBA is prolly hard to play, but those are my thought nonetheless.

Yeah not suspended, could easily see points reduction though, stop being silly, Nasri was acting like a little cunt and got what he had coming.
I just farted.
