It's one heck of a conundrum. City would be 3 in a row, but you never come across a City fans if you don't live in Outer Manchester, so no fan connotation.

Arsenal we've already had a glimmer of how insufferable they can be. And that's before winning anything.

For me it’s easy. I’ll always want City to win the title unless they’re up against Chelsea. Have never met a City fan in real life. Their online presence is nonexistent and they hardly get a coverage in the media.
 
Just isn't the same without DT et al is it just feels safe and sanitary. And that's even before you talk about the puke inducing optimism despite the result.

Just remember they have to do 4 in a row to surpass us,also we have done 3 in a row TWICE
 
What a shame we didn’t turn up to have our tummy tickled and sent on our way having given them 3 points. Imagine being top of the league and needing a drum to try and generate an atmosphere

Out of everything that happened in the game today, a drum is what annoyed you. You really hate them don't you ? :lol:

Unfortunately, this sorta moaning in the media works. Now, see Arsenal get favorable decisions over the next few weeks. That’s why I wanted ETH to go a bit harder on the refs for the Casemiro red.

It depends on who you are and whether you’re liked. Mourinho would’ve been banned for it, 1000%. Let’s see what happens with Arteta.

For example, I can’t find any mention (search function on phone being shit though) of City being charged with surrounding the ref or failing to control their players after the Bruno goal, despite Grealish following the ref down the tunnel, whereas we’ve been charged twice this seasons for protesting a penalty against Chelsea and against Newcastle when Pawson disallowed a goal after a free kick had clearly been taken, with nobody following the ref down the tunnel after the game.
 
If Man City somehow pull themselves together and win the league with everything going on, AFTV will go into absolute meltdown.

I don’t mean the manager being banned or moaning in the sense of players surrounding or complaining to the ref during the game. I meant the subconscious and conscious effect it has on the refs when the manager esp blasts their decision in the media. That always makes the headlines and the talking points and I’m sure all the refs see them. And its about putting the pressure on the ref. The best example being Klopp (or was it Pep?) moaning about us getting a run of penalties. And then what happened? All of a sudden we stopped getting penalties.

But my point was that a manager making that exact point has different outcomes depending on whether the manager's liked.

Klopp's moaning about another team's decisions had that effect on the referees because they liked him. Had Mourinho moaned about Liverpool's decisions while in charge of us, he would've been charged by the FA and United would get unfavourable treatment from referees because they'd want to punish him.
