I know he's a City fan.
There are many famous fans that are never sighted when at games.
Anyway I'm just a cynic where everything City is involved.

That's offside by the Maguire rule. Edit he was onside.
Ahh didn't see him at the bottom
Fecking can't stand Citeh.
Gross
That's only offside if we don't count the Fulham player playing Akanji on.
Things going smooth and then the refs always have to make 1 feck up. That's offside, even if he didn't touch the ball which it looks like he did he's still clearly interfering.
If offside placed Akanji is disturbing Leno.
Another league title for soulless City as won't be slipping up against Spurs or West Ham.
They were checking Akanji vs the player who played him onside.
Its offside if Akanji touched it
He was onside though.
Great shot of the whole City end doing that loathsome back to play jumping nonsense, with a solitary person not. That Gallagher bloke.
But if he touched it that puts Gvardiol offside
"Most competitive league in the world "
Which kind of makes a mockery of the offside rule. He's not gaining an advantage by being in an offside position because some lad over the touchline who can't affect play is closer to the end line than him.
I’m actually content with this, honestly couldn’t bear arsenal winning it. They had the cheek to think tomorrow was the game they could win the title 
plus arsenal getting to 14 is worse than city getting to 10
plus arsenal getting to 14 is worse than city getting to 10Only consolation not being in the title race at this stage is not having to be glued to the TV screen in the hope these cheats would drop points every weekend. Now Arsenal fans can have a dose of what we had to go through in the final weeks of 2019 and 2022.
Very much agree. It all neds to be looked at and updated. The whole 'gaining an advantage' part of it now is so far from reality.
He didn't though.
Interesting yeah, I didn't consider that.
Surely doesn't need to tough it though as he was 'active' though right? So as soon as he makes the attempt then it's classed as a touch.

Everything about this is a farce. The league has made a mockery of itself allowing this.
Title races that aren't title races as City canter with fully fit, illegally assembled squads.
There's no jeopardy and absolutely no edge, which is what the PL has always thrived upon until this sham gathered steam.
I just wait for the first goal and change the channel, it normally doesn't take much.
He needs to touch it in order to make a new phase of play or whatever it's called. A player not touching the ball cannot place another player offside.
The attempt to get the ball made him 'active' though and interfering with play.
Madrid really did epl a favour. Imagine doing b2b treble
Yes, but only for the initial pass. Had he been innan offside position he would have been called offside.
Once KDB came back from injury in winter they stabilized and started grinding down opponents mechanically. Meh
How disappointing is McCoist? Sound guy with good commentary but gags on City every single time, seemingly acknowledging them as a real entity.
True yeah sorry. Bit of a weird loophole in the rule that IMO
This is beyond a joke at this point. Either Abu Dhabi are kicked out of the league, or this will be the norm going forward, with City winning just about every year with the odd exception.
Wish they'd feck off going on about Noel fecking Gallagher. Feck me 
Best league in the world
Yeah something needs to happen with those 115
I think it’s the reason clubs haven’t publicly fought back against them yet
If they get away with it again, I think there will be backlash
Sort of. But imagine if it was the other way around - Gvardiol was offside in when the initial pass came but wasn't offside when Akanji reached, but misses, the ball and that would have made him onside instead. That's even weirder IMO.
The true farmers league. One team winning most of everything every year. How exciting...
I don't see this changing significantly even if Guardiola leaves. In fact, with Klopp gone there's no one to challenge them. Arsenal will fall off next season, which will leave City free to just stack them.

I learnt to do the same over the years when we were in the race with them, or i would completely block out all news of their result on the day and wait for MOTD to be shocked if they lost at home to Leicester or Wolves but instead found they thrash them 5-1 or something.
Penalty to City, we would never have gotten that.
Red for Casemiro
Was literally a stone wall penalty, there's not a team in the world who wouldn't get it.
