View Full Version : Wigan v Man City on tv
Just watching this. Not a bad game so far. Wigan giving as good as they are getting. Quite a few niggly fouls. Sane running around like a spring chicken, surprise surprise. Annoying though before the game, commentators/pundits discussing Joe Bennetts 'hideous' tackle on Sane and showed it in ultra slow motion again, then in first couple of minutes Wigan player took out Aguero with a studs up, knee high follow through from a tackle, which could have broke his leg and Jermaine Jenas said that he didn't think it was a foul or booking as he got the ball first !!. Commentator agreed. Double standards if you ask me.

If Bennett’s challenge on Sane warranted a red,then so did that.Both reckless and both potentially dangerous.But of course,the narrative from the arse lickers in the studio is that it wasn’t a red.

It was worse than Joe's as it was directly into the front of his leg rather than from the back/side. That really is a leg breaker if the other player is unlucky as the leg can't give way if properly planted

You should be allowed to slide in.. Just looked and his studs did come up.
Id just didn't think it was after 1 look..
After 10 clips of it now I can see the argument for a red. I'd personally put it in the top tier of a yellow.

Can’t believe some of our fans, still denying how bad Bennett’s tackle was!

I would too. If a Wigan player did that, the response of the analysts might have been different.

There's about 50 pages on that tackle on another thread mind lads :thumbup:
Hard to believe that it's 82-12 possession wise looking on flashscores.

Sorry but I didnt say that at all. It was obviously a bad tackle but I am having a go at the double standards of the media and tv people who have gone on totally hysterically about it for weeks whilst not criticising other bad tackles they have seen since, including the one tonight which got Delph sent off. He made the tackle whilst looking the other way.

Delph wasnt even looking at the ball or player at the point of impact - he turned his head away, obviously knowing he was going to clatter the player. How any of the commentators can say its not a red card after all the hysteria around Joe Bennetts tackle is beyond me. Delph was wound up by something that happened just before on the other side of the pitch.
I was more interested in Guardiola's reaction. He's such a sanctimonious gobshite when things don't go his way. His tantrums are laughable. He's so used to seeing things go his way, he can't handle it when they don't. Yes, they're great to watch and good on him for promoting entertaining football. However, his team can dish it out when they want to. He gets on his pulpit when an opposing player offends against one of his players, but goes nuts when it's the other way around.
Why are quite a few rows of seats at the front of the stands around the pitch out of use ?. This is affecting the crowd and money Wigan are taking surely.

So saying “Sane is running around like a spring chicken, surprise surprise,” isn’t trying to make light of Bennett’s tackle?
They'll have a suspension now - they'll be down to only 19 £50 million + players
Poor dabs will have to go out and try and nick the best player from a rival club for £70 million
Pray for Pep - its just not fair

Probably deliberate so they can cover them with tarpaulin, so as to make it look as if there are no seats there and therefore that the stand is full?

Looking at the man City kit reminded me of our mauve kit. Be a good away choice next season?

Only spent over 50 million twice I believe.
Alan Shearer is a hypocrite. He is still saying it wasnt a bad tackle even after watching it in slow motion four or five times. He is blindly backing up his colleague Jenas in spite of the evidence showing otherwise. You could tell wnen he was talking through it in slowmo that he realised what he was saying was rubbish but he still carried on. If it had been a Wigan player he would have said the exact opposite.

I couldn't work out if Paul Cook was about to nut him, whether he was trying to calm things down or whether he was scared!
So saying “Sane is running around like a spring chicken, surprise surprise,” isn’t trying to make light of Bennett’s tackle?
No - he was running around like that and Guardiola said it was a serious injury and that he would be out at least 6 weeks. I am havng a go at Guardiola and not making light of Bennetts tackle. That is a totally separate issue to how bad Bennetts tackle was. You appear fixated with the tackle for some reason - most people accept it was bad.

Probably because of the height of the electronic advertising....
What a dirty team they are. Jazz Richards is still out injured and Sane is back, so I think they need to look at themselves. And their manager is a disgrace, a petulant so and so.
Didnt Alan Shearer head butt or elbow somebody during a match and break his nose some years ago ?. God - the way he goes on, you would think he was an angel during his playing days.
Imagine if that was Warnock. They even muted the sound at half time.
Probably because of the height of the electronic advertising....
Could be - hadn't thought of that one.
I bet BT Sports are most hacked off
BBC got this and Spurs Rochdale
They got Sheff Weds and Swansea 8 men defending.

It's sickening how many times a Man City player rolls around clutching their shins with minimal contact. I know its acceptable these days, but it's so embarrassing.

Given Grugg man of the match because he scored.
Went on to say he knows he's barely had a touch...
Southampton will be chuffed. Rather than facing certain defeat when the draw was made on Saturday, they now need to beat Wigan to make the FA Cup semi-final.
Nice work by the fella working the Wigan tannoy....playing Wonderwall at the end of the game :-)
Lovely to see the arrogant cwnts get their come uppance!

Not sure now - just realised advertising was quite low and it was only on two sides even though adverts went all around. Mystery.

Sane was out for 10 days. It was reported that he'd be out for six weeks. So obviously the tackle wasn't as bad as everyone made out.

Surprised that Warnock didn’t buy Grigg rather than Bogle,he certainly scores big goals!

I tell you what Pepe has taught those silky players a thing or two of how to scream so loud the referee has to act no matter how 50/50 it is , then the ref's are given the Pepe verbals "my special players need special protection, against these awful rough and tough chaps ""
He's a typical drama queen from the drama la liga, its a shame as the players he has at his disposal are pure class , and can win without pretence , the same goes for la liga , they do more tumbles than the British gymnastics team .
I'd love to see what Pepe would achieve penniless, managing Wigan

I'm just pleased they're not going to win all 4 competitions as I'm finding the love-in all a bit nauseating at the moment. I think Man City have got some amazing players but I hate the fact that clubs can just buy success now and the fans now seem to care more about what sums of money they're spending than watching the football ...

Please, noooo! He's in my fantasy team and I need him to potentially help me win about £250!
Great to see the magic of the cup still exists. I only caught the last 20 minutes so I haven't seen Delph's dismissal. Worthy of a red?

Over the ball, reckless, real potential leg-breaker, definite red
Only reason its controversial is because it was committed by one of Pep's angels, and not by one of the nasty lower league thugs

Only saw the pundits' expert analysis and one of them said, I quote, "it was a yellow".
Now I wouldn't say it was as strong as Bennett's on Sane but it was definitely high and over the ball.
Again we see a lot of double standards depending on the agenda that suits.
The ref will probably get a roasting from Guardiola in the media and a ban from officiating at MC games for the forseeable à la Fergie.
Can't bear to watch these feckwits analysing and passing judgement on all and sundry.

Cheers for the vid. Can't see it too clearly but I can see how that could be deemed a red. Pep's reaction leaves a lot to be desired and he and his side aren't getting much sympathy from me (except for the 3 Man City players in my fantasy team of course...).

Things never change actually. Arrogance always goes with the "top" teams - remember Leeds under Revie and Man Utd under Ferguson!
''Congratulations for Wigan for the qualification, they had one shot on target''.
Sarcastic too. What a classy guy.
Even pep has said it was a red card

I'd put the Wigan win down to the City softening them up , in the round before
Not a very dignified acceptance of defeat there Pep.
Going the same way as Jose Mourinho by the looks of things.
Really wanted to like pep as the football Barca played under him was another level.
But he can't handle any pressure can he. The reaction to our game and last night is comical. Just as well the league is all but won or some of the press conferences would be hilarious.
He's passionate I get that but what is he doing in the tunnel there.

I think he's like that because he wants to win so much regardless of the level of the opposition.
Makes him look sore, but that's part of his make up.

No, he needs to win to maintain the "I'm greatest manager ever" mantra he believes despite having managed teams with the best players in their leagues. How dare those little teams dare to beat the greatest manager ever!
I'm utterly disgusted by Cook in the tunnel though. He should have nutted Pep.
:hehe:
