Manchester City have avoided a transfer ban after admitting breaching Fifa rules on signing youth players.

 

The Premier League champions have been fined 370,000 Swiss Francs (£315,000).

He's quite inconsistent from what I've saw, in one minute he's puts a 30 yard free kick in the next can't pass 5 yards accurately.

Yup it's really frustrating to watch. He's bang average, which for a Brazilian means he's literal garbage.

That Adrian howler :lol: way to ruin several million people's fantasy football weeks...

Many thanks to him for giving it to Ings, that goal keeps us off the bottom of the table! Nothing less than we deserve after we gave them half their squad :lol:

Didn't know you were a Saints fan! Much more encouraging than last week's display that's for sure.

Adrian howler was awful. Pleased with the 3 points though, we rode a storm first half played Southampton off the park for the rest of the game until Adrian decided to make it interesting. That’s probably the type of banana skin game after midweek where we could have dropped points needlessly so good 3 points.

 

Pukki going straight in to everyone’s fantasy teams tho..

Wow, I guess it's because I don't post in here much. And indeed, last week's defensive performance was poor so glad things have improved in this game, I'd have been very surprised with anything other than a defeat today.

Not with his tough upcoming games! Mind you he scored at Anfield so...

 

Amazing scenes at the Etihad AGAIN

Absolutely cackling at the reaction online. There isn’t a team in the league who deserves it more than the laundrette.

 

Handball is Handball. VAR doesn’t change the fact that a handball occoured

VAR playing a big part between Man City and Spurs.

Manchester City fans must really hate VAR :lol:

Well that was a very dramatic end to a very good game!

Spurs were bloody awful. I’m all for City dropping points though, stops an end to their mad winning run. Funny that it happens in the last minute.

Haven't seen it yet but that handball rule is ridiculous - always gonna look worse in slow mo replay!

It's handball and against the rules though.

 

VAR will work against us all and work for us all at some point during the season. If Mo Salah scores a 95th winner at Old Trafford and ir's ruled out at that point I will call VAR horseshit :D

Well I'm glad Man City lost that match, I never thought I see Arsenal second in the league this early, can't wait for them to play Liverpool next weekend.

I know it's against the rules but it should be back to deliberate handball not just if the ball happens to touch you on the arm/hand which if anyone here plays football knows that that happens.

It's hard to get excited about Manchester City dropping points in these circumstances because there is the inevitable feeling that by the end of the season it's not really going to make a difference at all. This just means that their 100% record has ended very early and they have to wait to have a chance to break their own 18 match Premier League record winning streak.

 

 

I knew Teemu Pukki was going to have a good game against Newcastle today and I wanted to put him in my fantasy team but he was a bit pricey and I didn't want more than 4 points deducted at this stage. I'm gutted that I didn't have him in my team, just seen his 1st goal on Match Of The Day and it was class. Norwich could surprise a lot of people including myself this season.
