Shows how far arsenal have fallen, a game with a London rival west ham on a Saturday 3pm. The super Sunday line up this weekend could of done with it.

That doesn't show anything at all! Far better games have been at 3pm.

Great counter by Wolves and so unlucky to have it wiped off.

klose

Won't be many better saves this season than Patricios save there from sterling's shot.

ERG89

Mendy is fortunate he's great going forward as defensively he's been pretty poor.

Agent Coulson

Chelsea

Wolves are not afraid of City anyway and giving a good show of themselves.

Minderbinder

Man Utd

Wolves have made it hard for City. Think Guardiola has made an error in team selection with the two wingers. Sterling, apart from two bright moments has been aimless and hasn't really got anything going with Mendy down the left. Bernardo Silva hasn't been involved in much of note either.
Maybe they'll revert back to last week's 3-5-2 in the second half.

Unlucky? In what way?

Agent Coulson

Chelsea

If Wolves can keep up the same defensive display they might be able to nick this on the counter.

IncognitoMan

Great to see a side like Wolves actually have a plan to counter attack City when they win the ball.

I expect City will still win 0-1. Aguero very unlucky not to score.

Sterling as well. It was a stunning save to deny him.

Costa should have shot first time.

Go on the Wolves 1 up.

Handball.

ERG89

Might wake up City that. Looks to have already have....

Yeah although that's a bit of brilliance from another player in Patricio so not really luck. Patricio was beaten from the Aguero shot.

Something for Pep to moan about at the end.

IncognitoMan

I'm obviously well behind :pac: Fair play wolves

And? He'd be right.

Wolves play some nice ball. Some very good technical players

Clear as day handball to be fair

Neves is going to be £100m player pretty soon.

Just like the winning Boro goal last night. Clearly the hot new trend...

City being completely cheated here.

Clear handball for the goal. And then a stonewall penalty on Silva turned down by the ref a minute later.

Agent Coulson

Chelsea

Jaysus the tin foil hats in here today.

No chance. It comes from a long way, he has plenty of time to see it and the ball wouldn't have changed direction if it hadn't touched his arm. It's 100% a handball.

Never he was already in mid diving for the header when the ball hit his hand.

He never moved his hand towards the ball.

So ball to hand not hand to ball.

Corholio

It would have to be extremely accidental for a goal from a handball to be given, whacked at you etc, it definitely should have been disallowed.

Great header from Laporte.

Trigger

Man Utd

Some header that

Will I Am Not

Man Utd

Is someone actually trying to argue that the handball was a legitimate goal?

Agent Coulson

Chelsea

Good set piece by City to get back in the game 1 -1.

IncognitoMan

Balls

Was fun while it lasted

blueser

Man Utd

Cut out the diving Sergio, we don't want it.

Yep, there's one or two on here who will argue with you there.

spoonerhead

Chelsea

fair few city players who like a dive

Minderbinder

Man Utd

Pretty sure Sterling dived to win the fk that led to the equalizer. Not that City didn't deserve a wrong decision to go their way.

IncognitoMan

Wolves is going to be a nightmare away game this season

Harry Palmr

City really should have a diving side for the Olympics.

Nothing wrong with all Pepfectly legal in City’s eyes.

Reminds me of Pep’s Barca, they crowd the red like them too

Fcuk; the woodwork again. We've had no luck at all today.

JaMarcus

Fulham

Was Aguero always such a fan of the theatrics? Never had him down as that sort.

blueser

Man Utd

Should have won that. Hit the woodwork 3 times, and Wolves goal should not have stood. Very disappointing.

Agent Coulson

Chelsea

City blinkers on for all the City players diving today.

Sprinter Sacre

City were robbed. Wolves have a lovely thing going on though. Played City much better than Chelsea and Arsenal combined.

Harry Palmr

Man Utd

Anyway the title race is smashed open!

Wolves have done what most teams should try to do - take them on. Sure you'll get your arse handed to you sometimes but if you can disrupt their flow, get in their faces and sit a few of them on their backsides you have a chance.

Jose's teams are quiet fond of that also. What happened to booking the players surrounding the ref?

Agreed. The sooner they sort out a decent system of VAR, the better.

IncognitoMan

Wolves played very well. Showed once again that you can get some joy with a plan to counter attack City and not just sit back all game. Bit of good fortune with the goal but they were good for a draw overall.
