This is why VAR is a load of shit. Just backs the onfield decision.
It wasn't even similar. Martinez initiated the contact with the Brentford players.
Never a freekick.
And Mings should've been carded earlier for that dangerous high boot as well some minutes before the goal.
Rooting for Brentford to win this one, hard done by both times. Maybe Kayode can throw one directly into the net in the second half. Given how shit the officiating and VAR is, it'll probably be allowed.

Some of the human posters aren’t self aware.
get in their good books before the bombs start dropping
That was a lovely finish by Cullen to put Burnley 1-0 up.
Imagine if that had been Nunez for us - the forum would be in uproar !
Burnley’s floodlights have gone all techno with a strobe effect. Game is suspended.
Will they? I keep banging on the 'they bought average players to replace superstars' drum, but some on this forum see 'City' and "Fraudiola' and think that's all it takes. I had them down for 3rd pre-season and I still think that's where they'll end up.
We won all the matches he was absent last time and have only one tough game in the 6 weeks he'll likely be away this time.
You're right IMO about the relative quality (or lack of it) of their new players compared with those players' predecessors, but the new ones aren't flat out poor and I do think they'll probably improve as they play together more. The extent to which they'll do that remains to be seen.
Yeah but we had diogo then. ATM we haven't got the depth to be without for 2 weeks, let alone 6
fingers crossed that changes over the next week
i find their signings on the whole quite weird, i think you’re right about most of the signings being average.
the thing is de bruyne, walker, stones, bernardo and many others were huge fees at the time. players like that cost from the high tens to early hundred millions now, city just can’t pull that off these days with all the scrutiny.
Yes it does seem that whatever happens with 115 that PSR scrutiny has them toeing the line and it's clearly affected their recruitment, at least until the next 'multi-million £ 'sponsorship'.
Leeds winger, Wilfried Gnonto (22 in November), Itay international. Reminds me of Shaqiri from the clip below. Been with Leeds for a few seasons now, and played 24 league games for them when they were last in the Premier League (22/23 season; he was 19/20 then; scored twice).
Rooting for him to have a good game against the Gunners!

Arsenal really should be favourites for the league this year. Lego head can’t complain about his squad depth and options, plenty players reaching their peak years together.
Arteta himself may well be their weakest link IMO. Maybe that's why we're still favourites in the betting, albeit not by much.
Mate, the bestist ever bot detection in the world ever, which can't be named, is the best evidence we have.
It has also determined that you are a bot.
He's clearly their weakest link.
I still think we've got a better team if we sign Isak and Guehi, but there's obviously not much in it.
I know he’s banged in an absurd number of goals across the past two seasons, but Gyokeres doesn’t really pass the eye test - he looks like a very expensive Ricky Lambert, his movement is cumbersome his first touch and technique is pretty average.
The fact that no Prem club went in for him even though he was scoring freely for Coventry always struck me as a warning sign.
Ricky Lambert is a great comparison lol. He might score goals but at what cost to the team?
There's certain players that you feel need everything to be through them to be a success. I feel thats the case with gyokeres. Either he'll score a a good amount but other players will struggle, or the team works well and he struggles.
