I don't think even Keown had the balls to give it to anyone else.
Both Brighton and city had some good performances, but Knocky was clearly the best player on the pitch over the game.

Their co-commentator rightly even gave man of the match to one of our players yet they still couldn’t acknowledge that! CJTC’s!

I agree,however to stop them we had to play a very defensive system which meant we had little possession in their half,cant recall a shot on their goal,this is not critism just acceptance that there is a huge gulf between the top ten sides and the remaining teams in the Premiership

So Duffy gets a red against scum.
But Walker stays on.

I too was rather infuriated by the frankly bizarre ending to the pundits summary’s. At half time they were very much behind our approach, applauding our ‘plucky’ work rate and our tactical setup.... after a better second half from us, it would seem, we were awful, terrible and deserved to lose to a ‘poor’ Man City... WTF?!?
Aside from being unbelievable, patronising and borderline insulting, they side stepped how well we contained City so convincingly for much of the game. As others have said; the back five, Knocky, Bisouma and DP/DS and even Ali deserve huge credit.
I’m immensely proud in defeat tonight, and now CH needs those levels vs the Cherries.
Bring it on.
As for the beeb, well they ought to look back at those post match comments and ask whether they were impartial, fair and just plain good enough?

I hope his team turn over the FFP cheats in the Champions League. And that their players do some DABing in Walker's punchable, headbutting face.

Yep, today's headbutt has set the benchmark for future VAR decisions. The question is now if there is a difference between a headbutt and a headpush.
Duffy's offence was clearly a headpush and not a headbutt and should have also just been a yellow using today's logic.

Who really gives a toss what Lineker and his nodding dog thinks.
It's the fans that know the club, not him.
I think that we did what we could with the talent we have.
TB may be a billionaire, but he's not stupid to think that we'll compete with these Citeh clowns.
I enjoyed today.

Good post. That’s why I said I turn off at final whistle, to ignore the unknowledgeable noise of the bores.
Are you back home already?

I really don't give a flying fig about Linakers comments......I sat here in Spain surrounded by my mates who support, Spurs, Chelski, Manure etc. and they all said Brighton played well, stifled and rattled City who seemed to think it a walk over. We all thought it a straight red, at normal speed it was - but VAR in slo-mo disguises this. Everyone played their own part but the stand outs had to be AK, DS, SD and Lewis Dunk....if ever a player had B&HA in his blood stream it's him. So thank you - I was proud!

The Beeb were upset we knocked Millwall out. They were all for the underdog then.

I wonder if Lineker realises he is not in the same league as Des Lynam and never will be.

A couple of worthy footnotes; Sterling said we were brilliant and Pep himself that we are an exceptional (as in good, not exceptionally) defensive team... not too shabby from the team set to win them all.
We are a defensive team, at this level, we really are... but we’re bloody good at it.

obvious bias but i didnt see that bad a game, was it jsut because they expect 3 or 4 nil procession match for Man City? they weren't poor so much, they just did enough with one goal and other than Sterling didnt seem interested in more. we got at them from some spells, and some great tackles in second half had them neutralised.
