what cuts it for you doesn't matter... the footballing world understand the facts as they happened...

your opinion is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things

afrodoc2:
Ridiculous arguments and 419 reasoning everywhere.

Leyqute:


The officiating is very controversial

ChristineC:

Choose where your 5 or "so" years began, then make your conclusions. Specify if any trophy was unaccounted for.

codedguy1:
I like as Liverpool and Tottenham draw the match.

codedguy1:


The penalties were atrocious. I can even manage to accept the 2nd one but that 1st one from Kane looked like he deliberately left his leg for the contact.

Eruditor:


Arsenal have 3 shields.

Beat City
Beat Chelsea (under Mou)
Beat Conte

From your source;

City have resurrected their move to buy Sanchez, who they nearly signed for £55m at the end of the summer. But they view the total cost of the package – the contract, the agent’s fee and Arsenal’s £35m asking price – as too much for a player who will be a free agent in the summer. Unless there is flexibility in one of those areas, City will not do the deal. Their valuation for the transfer fee is closer to £20m.

This line talks about Arsenal’s asking price as one of the hindrance to the deal, something we managed to work our way around by offering Mkhitaryan.


This stance from City is in part because of the good news concerning Gabriel Jesus’s fitness. The Brazilian striker injured knee ligaments at Selhurst Park on 31 December but City now think he will be back within three weeks. This means signing another forward this month is less of a priority, and while they want Sanchez, they are not desperate for him.

In another chapter, they make it clear City were not keen due the the fact that Gabriel Jesus wasn't gonna be out for as long as first feared. To put it simply, they'd have gone the limit to get Sanchez if Jesus was going to be out for months as first reported.

The other paragraph suggested United were willing to pay more.

In all of it, not one source, part or close to the deal was quoted, and all they did was highlight all the possible scenarios and leave you to stick to the one that favors your argument. For you, it's the money, for me, it's our decision to use Mkhitaryan as a way around the asking price. A neutral (or me if I want to be selfish) will say it's only because Jesus was not going to be out for too long that's why City didn't go the limits. Take cue from the fact that they were willing to pay up to 65m for Mahrez when desperation set in after the Sane injury.

Tell me none of the above tackles deserved a red card. Injuring and deliberately injuring a player isnt part of the game and it carries a punishment.

All Pep is telling the ref is to do their job according to the rules of the game

I wonder when it became a problem for people to do their job

kokaneprodigy:
I see nothing wrong in leaving cos of a better offer. This happens daily in our career and I’m guilty of this in a way as well so no biggy. The ish is Sanchez and some pundits acting like he wanted out cos he wants to win the league. Only to fast forward few months, league called, money called my guy picked the latter.

MRTA7:


Its absolutely amazing to me but the fact is they enjoy it so I just leave them to it.

Leyqute:


Exactly. A replay showed Kane deliberately hung his leg for some contact before falling to the ground. And this isn't considering the circumstances in which he got the ball.

The second penalty is as controversial. Jonathan Moss had waved play on and had to bring the ball back to blow a penalty. How often does that happen in football?

It feels good when this type of thing happens to your opponents but it sucks when you're at the receiving end.

engrelvis:
yes it favors us.but honestly I don't really understand Liverpool.after beating man city I taught dey r going to b flying.mane seem to v drop form after dat red card.their inconsistencies is worrisome.dey might nt make top 4

codedguy1:


Ball don nearly reach Tottenham goal post before it was called back. really terrible.

patrickmuf:
Kane left a foot in for the pen but he wasn't offside since Lovren touched the ball.
The second pen was the correct decision though Lamela went down easily.

ovoP:
Naija Don collect red

codedguy1:


I never disputed the offside, since lovren touched the ball he played Kane on side.

yeah that's why I said I could accept that pen. just that It seemed a while for them to make the call, that's what make it look suspicious since the ref seemed this have waved play on before it was brought back.

patrickmuf:
I am just happy they dropped points, our players are not mentally ready to be engaged in any battle for top 4...

codedguy1:


our coach and players look like they are mentally handicapped.

losing 2nil and still trying to defend.

score a goal early and revert to defending.

Playing players put of their natural positions

That we are about 15points behind with the squad we have is just annoying

you no see say I no too dey talk again.

I just tire.

our chan eagles don chop goal number 4, these guys wan spell naija.

The apparent Difference between Neymar1095 and Eruditor is; EPISTLE! They both reasoning alike and enjoy posting Junks as Facts.

odizeey:
I just wish the mods can come up with a way of restricting fans in sports section to just one club thread, and create a general thread where we can tackle each other.

With that person no go too dey see annoying posts.
