Yeah....this one is over. Arteta struggles getting to the finish line. City's collapse this year has been pretty epic and to think they still may get the hammer dropped on them in a month or so.

Sheesh..... didn't they just renovate a few years ago?
If each fan gives two quid, the project is paid for.
Not sure they actually get the funding nor will they get it. They have done renovations, but nothing like this. They are a financial mess in addition to the product on the field. Gary Neville had a great interview with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club is a mess at all levels....but hey throw a shiny object out there for people to look at. The Glazers are pigs.

Liverpool do not have a PL match until 2 April. They play in that Carabao Cup horse-a$$ v. Newcastle on Sunday (16 March).
Yeah...it's always bad when your team is playing for a trophy.....brilliant take. It may not be he EPL title (they already have that wrapped up) or EUFA but it still can be a poor man's treble for Liverpool. Ooops, I mean double as I forgot about Plymouth.

In real time, depending on the sight line the ref has, it's not always to see for sure if the challenger's cleats struck the other player. But VAR should find that, and buzz down. It's hard to believe that the VAR evaluator screwed this up, and Tarkowski wasn't shown a red.

I was going to post this yesterday as I watched it in real time. I debated it with myself and was slightly torn. The only reason is that it's hard to prove intent and I feel like that is the difference between yellow and red in this case. But I definitely believe that Tarkowski knew exactly what he was doing with that follow through. If Mac has a bit more weight on that foot, his leg is getting snapped. The kind of injury that can wreck a career. I would have no issue with any ref showing the red there.In real time, depending on the sight line the ref has, it's not always to see for sure if the challenger's cleats struck the other player.

Clean tackle 25 years ago. That looked deliberate to me though. Damn.
Intent was removed as criteria a ref had to evaluate in a challenge where the challenger's cleats strike the leg/body of a player that has the ball @ 7 years ago (I forget the exact year it was removed). As best as I can recall, the explanation to refs was that a player is responsible for their body at all times, so intentional or not, striking an opponent with cleats was to be addressed with a red card. In youth/adult non-professional leagues, where VAR is not in use, a ref can usually work around this a bit if they believe the foul was totally accidental, and not all that harmful to the recipient, by stating that they didn't have a clear view of the incident. In pro leagues, whether VAR is in use or not, the standard is much higher, and the ref is supposed to be very consistent in going straight to red in response to such actions. And if the ref misses the incident, the VAR operator is supposed to buzz down to have the ref review the play.

They got everything and then some from him in his prime. I loathe City, but KDB was the most impactful and best player in the EPL the last decade...hands down.De Bruyne to leave Man City at end of season

Fulham holds on for the win, 3-2. I believe that was Liverpool's 1st home lost of the season. (Edit: it was played @ Fulham ... it was just Liverpool's 2nd loss in the season.)
