About time we got the 'decisions' giveon our way after some of the clangers we've suffered.

Just seen it on MOTD. Dissallowed goal should have been a goal, actual goal shouldn't and I've seen the penalty given.

Is Ryan Giggs going to take up officiating when he retires btw? Tried to do enough of it.

UEFA fined Porto £16,700 for racial abuse by their fans of Balotelli & Yaya.

UEFA have now fined City £24,740 for their players being late back on the pitch after half time against Sporting Lisbon.

Good to know the game's in safe hands.

All the Porto fans stayed behind though to shake Balotelli and Yaya by the hand and it was all left on the pitch. Just as Sepp Blatter wanted

The first Wigan goal was fine, should have stood. Never a corner for the first goal though so evened up.

Utd should have had two pens, one for handball and one for a pullback on Wellbeck.

Either way we deserved nothing from the game as it was easily our worst performance of the season, worse than the 1-6. Still fancy City to win the derby so it could effectively be a 2 point lead and City have a much better goal difference. Squeaky bum time.

I still have serious doubts about our ability to win 3 away games.

Being pedantic about the decisions evening up, if Wigan's first goal had been given everything that happened afterwards would have changed. There would have been no handball. Who knows, United might have been shaken from their lethargy and won 1-3.

Dortmund/Bayern was a belter. Robben's penalty was awful - easy save - but to blast it over the top from fully two yards? That was Conference.

Atléti... Curse you to hell.
