Christ that second half aged me.
-
That O'Reilly lad that has gone under everyone but Chic's radar has scored a double for City tonight. We really should have listened to Chic when he said we should sign him in the summer.
-
Might've barely played had Ait Nouri not picked up a lengthy early season injury. Now that Ait Nouri is back Citeh seem to be playing O'Reilly a little further forward.
Is Doku injured? -
Not sure. But I do know O'Reilly was a number 9 in the City youth team before Pep started him at left back. So it's an area of the pitch he's familiar with. Hopefully he can be as good for England in the summer.

Arsenal finally score.
And instantly concede an equaliser. -
3-1 Arsenal
-
A week ago Derby were in the playoffs, tonight they're in 11th 6 points and 4 goals adrift.
Annoyingly Leicester got a creditable point at Boro.
-
Just saw that Hull scored 4 goals from 3 shots on target against the sheep. Lolz.
-
It did make me laugh though as they had a period of sustained pressure at the end of the game which led to a corner in the 94th minute. Winks took it and it was that bad it didn’t even hit the side netting.
-
Falling through the air, after making a header, is now a yellow card offence.
---Edit---
Apologies, my mistake. It's now been upgraded to a straight red.
-
The referee believes that, as he's landing, he purposely drags his studs down the opposition shin / ankle.
-
That is ridiculous. He jumped, there was nothing unnatural about the movement of his legs, he's landed on the player, it happens.
-
The great thing is that nobody will ever have to defend a header again. If anybody ever jumps, just slide underneath so they land on you, and get them sent off.
We seem to be well on track for kicking the ball being outlawed for potentially endangering an opponent.
-
Looked at it again, the reason his leg swings forward slightly is to balance himself after the player he lands on pushes him in the willy. Should be a foul the other way for the push.

Celtic in front after 40 seconds of their return leg against Stuttgart
<insert worrying thoughts about the 8pm kick off here>
